The Aesthetic Surgery Center is proud to offer the new SkinTyte technology as part of its Sciton Profile™ BBL™
platform. This innovative new technology is used to selectively heat the dermal collagen deep in your skin
while simultaneously cooling the epidermis (outer layer of skin) prior-to, during, and after treatment, reducing
discomfort and minimizing thermal injury to non-target skin and skin structures. The result is partial
coagulation and contraction of collagen.
This treatment takes about 45 minutes per area, and is done in the office. The most commonly treated areas
are the face, neck, and upper chest. There is minimal, if any, facial swelling the first day, but no break
in the skin. You can wear make-up immediately. Because of the novel mechanism of action, optimal results
from dermal remodeling are seen over a three to six month period. Most patients require an average of
3-5 treatments spaced one month apart. However, because each patient's skin is different, the treatment
number can vary.
The majority of patients feel that their skin is tighter after just one treatment, but visible improvements
in skin laxity generally take place over three to six months. This exciting new technology is perfect for
those who wish to tighten and firm up their skin, with virtually no down-time. 1-2 maintenance treatments
per year can help to maintain the result and prevent the natural acceleration of skin aging that normally
occurs. The optimal regimen would include simultaneous BBL™ photofacial (for brown spots and capillaries)
with Skintyte treatments (for skin firming and wrinkle improvement) on the same day.
