Sciton® SkinTyte™

Sciton SkinTyte is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced infrared technology to heat the dermis while cooling the outer layers. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, tighter skin over time. The heat encourages the skin's natural healing process and enhances its elasticity.

Sciton SkinTyte is generally well-tolerated and not considered painful. Most patients experience a warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, but it is typically described as comfortable.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on individual goals and skin condition. Typically, 3 to 5 treatments spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart are recommended to see optimal results. Some people may see improvements after just one session, but multiple treatments generally provide the best results.

Results from Sciton SkinTyte can last for several months, with many patients noticing a noticeable improvement in skin texture and firmness for up to 6 months. Long-term maintenance may require periodic touch-up treatments to sustain the effects.

Sciton SkinTyte can be used on various areas of the body, including the face (for jawline, neck, and cheeks), abdomen, arms, thighs, and other regions where skin laxity is a concern.

There is no significant downtime after a SkinTyte treatment. Some patients may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities immediately following the procedure.

A good candidate for Sciton SkinTyte is someone with mild to moderate skin laxity who is looking for non-invasive skin tightening without the need for surgery. It is ideal for individuals who have started to notice sagging or loss of skin elasticity due to aging or weight fluctuations.

Sciton SkinTyte is comparable to other skin tightening treatments like Ultherapy or Thermage, but it uses infrared light technology, which may be more comfortable for some patients compared to ultrasound or radiofrequency treatments. SkinTyte is known for its safety profile, minimal discomfort, and no downtime.

Sciton SkinTyte is generally very safe, with few side effects. Possible side effects include mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but these are usually temporary and resolve within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare.
