The Sciton® SkinTyte™ Procedure

During treatment, you will be asked to wear special eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser light, and a cooling gel will be applied to the treatment area. Then, the Sciton® SkinTyte*™ handpiece will be moved across the skin to deliver infrared light, stimulating collagen and elastin. This technology is equipped with sapphire contact cooling to ensure that you are comfortable during treatment. There is no need for an anesthetic, as SkinTyte™ delivers gentle, yet rapid pulses for optimal results. One treatment usually takes about 30 minutes to complete, and most people require 3-6 treatments over the course of several months for the best results.  

Sciton® SkinTyte™ Results

Mild redness may be experienced right after treatment, though this will resolve with time. There is no downtime required, so you can feel free to return to your daily routine as soon as you wish. While some improvement may be noticeable immediately after treatment, your skin will gradually become tighter and firmer over the following months as your skin’s foundation of collagen builds up.

What is Sciton SkinTyte and how does it work?

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.

Is Sciton SkinTyte treatment painful?

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.

How many Sciton SkinTyte treatments are needed to see results?

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.

How long do Sciton SkinTyte results last?

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.

What areas of the body can be treated with Sciton SkinTyte?

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.

Is there any downtime after a Sciton SkinTyte treatment?

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.

Who is a good candidate for Sciton SkinTyte?

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.

How does Sciton SkinTyte compare to other skin tightening treatments?

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.

Are there any side effects from Sciton SkinTyte?

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.

What does a typical Sciton SkinTyte treatment session involve?

A typical Sciton SkinTyte treatment involves applying a cooling gel or applying the device directly to the skin. The device emits infrared light to heat the dermal layer, which can feel warm or slightly uncomfortable. Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, patients can return to their regular activities with no downtime required.
