SkinTyte in Edmonton, Alberta (AB)

SkinTyte is a non-invasive light-based treatment for the face and body that tightens and firms skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. SkinTyte uses broadband light (BBL) to heat the deep dermis layer of your skin which triggers new collagen growth for a younger appearance. SkinTyte also has a built-in cooling system that makes the treatment comfortable.

How SkinTyte treatment is performed

SkinTyte is a fast in-office procedure that doesn’t require anesthetic. Almost any area can be treated. Popular treatment areas include the neck, jawline, abdomen, arms, buttocks, and hands.

Your dermatologist will give you protective eyewear and apply a lubricating jelly to your skin. The SkinTyte hand piece is then pressed against your skin and moved around the treatment area. The procedure is comfortable and you’ll feel just a mild sensation of heat as the light pulses on and off rapidly.

Recovery and results

There’s no downtime or recovery after SkinTyte treatment. You may have some mild skin redness that goes away in less than an hour. Some people see immediate skin tightening results, but you can expect significant results from about six weeks onward as your skin produces new collagen. Larger treatment areas may require three to five sessions for best results.
