SkinTyte

We know that early signs of aging, like reduced skin elasticity, fine lines, and wrinkles can bother you. Our laser skin tightening procedure uses an advanced laser system called SkinTyte to improve your skin’s appearance without surgery.

SkinTyte in Reno, NV

For our laser skin tightening procedure, we use the advanced Sciton SkinTyte system. This innovative technology effectively targets fine lines and wrinkles, stimulates collagen production, and promotes a more even-toned and radiant appearance. It’s recommended that you participate in three to six sessions of SkinTyte treatment.

SkinTyte can be used on various parts of your body including your face, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, butt, and chest. The best part is that SkinTyte ensures a comfortable treatment with no needles or anesthesia required, and the procedure only takes about an hour.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

To ensure your comfort during your SkinTyte treatment, we offer a trio of pain management options. We can prescribe a topical numbing cream for you to apply at home an hour before your appointment. This will numb the treatment area, reducing discomfort from the laser.

We can also provide ProNox, also known as laughing gas. This is a safe and effective inhaled blend of 50 percent oxygen and 50 percent nitrous oxide that helps alleviate pain and anxiety throughout the procedure. The effects wear off quickly within 10 to 15 minutes after your treatment. Finally, you’ll have control of a cooling hose that blows cold air directly onto the treatment area. This allows you to target any specific discomfort you experience during the session.

As your treatment starts, your provider will gently glide the Sciton SkinTyte handpiece over your skin, which feels like a warming sensation. The heat penetrates the deeper layers of your skin to stimulate collagen production and promote tighter, firmer skin.

The entire treatment takes around one hour, and there is no anesthesia or needle required.

Post-SkinTyte Care and Recovery

While the SkinTyte treatment offers significant benefits, there are some temporary side effects to expect during recovery. Following your treatment, you may experience redness and warmth. This is normal and will subside within a few hours. As your skin heals, some itching may occur. It’s important to avoid picking and scratching your skin when this happens.

You can return to normal activities the same day and we’ll provide aftercare instructions to optimize results.

Laser Skin Tightening & SkinTyte FAQs

What is SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is a specific type of laser skin tightening treatment to improve the appearance of loose or lax skin, particularly on your face and neck. Benefits of SkinTyte include tighter, firmer skin, reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and improved skin texture and tone.

Does Insurance Cover SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is considered an elective procedure and isn’t covered by insurance.

How Long Does SkinTyte Last?

SkinTyte results can last up to two years with proper care, but individual lifestyle factors can affect longevity. Regarding collagen production, SkinTyte’s collagen stimulation process is gradual. While you might see some initial tightening right after the treatment, full effects become more noticeable over several weeks or even months as your body produces new collagen.

Which Is Better, SkinTyte or Ultherapy?

Choosing between SkinTyte and Ultherapy depends on your desired outcome.

SkinTyte is a non-surgical treatment that uses BroadBand Light (BBL) energy to gently heat deeper layers of your skin. It targets mild to moderate laxity, wrinkles, and fine lines on your face and neck. Six sessions are recommended for this treatment.

What Are the Risks of SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is considered a safe and well-tolerated procedure, but some potential side effects include redness, swelling, and a warming sensation. These are normal and subside within a few hours.

Is SkinTyte the Same as BBL?

No, SkinTyte and BBL (Broadband Light) are not exactly the same, although they are related.

BBL is a broad term referring to a specific type of light technology used in various cosmetic procedures, like skin rejuvenation, sun damage correction, or acne treatment.

SkinTyte is a specific procedure that uses BBL technology, but with a particular focus on tightening your skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
