SkinTyte® II

What is SkinTyte® II?

SkinTyte® II is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure used to treat skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles without surgery. Using broadband light (BBL) and infrared technology, SkinTyte® II stimulates collagen production and renewal, gradually improving skin firmness.

Our body loses collagen and elastin as we age, thus contributing to loose or saggy skin, wrinkles, and an overall aged appearance. With the promotion of collagen production from skin-tightening treatments such as SkinTyte® II, individuals can look forward to tighter, firmer, and youthful-looking skin.

How does SkinTyte® II work?

The SkinTyte® II procedure utilises infrared energy to heat dermal collagen deeply, promoting partial denaturation and contraction. This process triggers your body's natural healing, renewing and accelerating collagen and elastin production for increased skin firmness.

Continuous cooling ensures a comfortable and safe experience. Light energy is delivered in gentle pulses, eliminating the need for a topical anaesthetic, though it may be used if you are sensitive in certain areas.

A sequence of pulses is applied over the treatment area to ensure optimal results. Treatment duration varies depending on the treated area. Combining SkinTyte® II with other aesthetic procedures is an option to tailor your treatment further. Your aesthetic doctor (link to about us) will guide you through the process, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to achieving the desired outcome.
