SkinTyte BBL

About SkinTyte BBL

SkinTyte delivers uniform, targeted and deep heating to effectively coagulate soft tissue. Offering fast and safe treatments that are optimized for all skin types, SkinTyte can predictably, effectively, and comfortably treat any area of the body where improvement is desired, giving patients a firmer, more youthful appearance. Since there is no downtime, patients may resume their regular activities immediately following treatment.

SkinTyte utilizes advanced infrared light technology, and patient tailored filters to deeply heat dermal collagen while continuously protecting the treated epidermis with sapphire contact cooling for optical clinical endpoints, safety and comfort. With no need for a topical anesthetic, the energy is delivered in rapid, gentle pulses to promote contraction and partial coagulation of the collagen, initiating the body’s natural healing process, leading to the appearance of firmer tissue.

Concerns Treated with SkinTyte

While BBL treatments don’t require any downtime, we do require a consultation before this treatment to make sure you would be a good candidate. A series of treatments are needed for optimal results. Our Laser Technicians are skilled on all areas of the body and experienced with concerns such as;

• Skin Texture
• Fine Lines & Wrinkles
• Lax Skin on the face and body

The Treatment

SkinTyte appointments are usually about 1 hour, depending on the area being treated. Our device has a built-in cooling mechanism for your comfort. You can expect your skin to be a little red directly after the treatment but that will subside within the next hour. Expect to feel some heat during the actual treatment as we want to heat up the tissue to a certain degree to get the best results. We will apply SPF before you leave. Be careful in the sun for the following 2 weeks after a treatment. A series of treatments is highly recommended.
