At BevelUp in Tampa, FL, we offer professional SkinTyte treatments to reduce the effects of aging. For more information on these treatments, schedule your first appointment with us.

What Causes Skin Laxity?

As a result of the natural process of aging, our skin sags. When you are younger, your body produces enough collagen and elastin. These chemicals create structure in your skin and keep it firm and smooth. As you age, the natural production of collagen and elastin slows down, and without a strong framework to support your skin, you are left with sagging skin. Age is not the only reason our skin might sag. Other factors may also contribute to the early onset of skin laxity. Factors such as: 

Genetics 

Sun exposure 

Weight fluctuation 

Chronic stress 

Dietary choices 

Smoking 

SkinTyte treatments use the power of broadband light and gentle infrared energy to stimulate collagen production. This provides you with results that look natural and skin that is healthy. 

How does SkinTyte work? 

SkinTyte is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure That gives your skin a boost of collagen. This process tightens your skin and leaves you looking and feeling refreshed. Using gentle pulses of advanced infrared light technology to heat the deep dermal layers triggers the body's natural healing process. When the production of new collagen is coupled with the existing collagen fibers in your skin, your dermal collagen results increase. This improves the tightness and firmness of your skin. 

This skin tightening treatment is effective on any part of your body that has mild sagging or loose skin. The more popular areas treated with SkinTyte are the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, and arms. SkinTyte treatments are often confused with laser treatment. SkinTyte is not a laser skin tightening treatment. Both techniques use light energy, but there are still key factors that make them different. 

The Amazing Benefits of SkinTyte Treatment 

In 2004, SkinTyte was FDA-approved to tighten skin for people of all ages, skin types, and skin tones. Here are a few benefits to note when considering SkinTyte treatment: 

SkinTyte is a Fast Working Treatment 

Because of the technology used during a SkinTyte treatment, most people may believe that sessions take a long time. The good news is that this skin tightening treatment can be done within a lunchtime break. That means that you can continue with your daily routine before and after your skin tightening procedure. 

No Downtime Required 

The healing process after a procedure may be the hardest part of the procedure. While we lead busy lives with little time to spare, an extensive healing period may turn us away from seeking a skin tightening treatment for our skin concerns. The technology used for SkinTyte will allow you to walk away from your session without needing to rest. 

Minimal Discomfort 

One of the factors that many people may fear, or at least be concerned about is the pain or discomfort of a medical procedure. The SkinTyte treatment procedure has been described as a warming sensation. That is minimal discomfort for maximum results that are long-lasting and natural looking. 

SkinTyte Can Be Used to Treat Multiple Areas on Your Body 

While many non-surgical, non-invasive treatments are designed to focus on one particular area of your body, the SkinTyte treatment is versatile and can be used to treat many areas. You don’t have to compromise on which areas you want to be treated. With SkinTyte, you can treat multiple areas, such as your stomach, facial area, arms, and much more. One of the best parts is that all these areas could be treated in one session. 

Aftercare For SkinTyte 

As discussed, there is no downtime required after a SkinTyte treatment session. However, to keep your skin in good shape, some measures may still need to be taken to uphold the integrity of your skin. Apply SPF 30 or 50 sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure 24 hours after your treatment. 

Gradual Results

Because this treatment aims to give you a natural-looking appearance, results may be visible after about 4 months. This is because SkinTyte treatments stimulate collagen production. This time is needed for the collagen foundation of your skin to rebuild. A series of 3 – 6 treatment sessions every second week or so is recommended to achieve full results. 

How Long Do SkinTyte Results Last? 

SkinTyte treatments offer results that leave your skin looking younger. These results can last up to 2 years after your last treatment. Of course, habits such as regular exercise, a good skincare routine, and a healthy diet will extend these results.
