SkinTyte is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced infrared light technology to tighten and firm the skin. The treatment stimulates collagen production deep within the dermis, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of sagging. It is commonly used to treat areas like the face, neck, abdomen, and arms.

Before your SkinTyte treatment, it's important to avoid the following to ensure the best results and reduce the risk of irritation:

1. Sun Exposure:
   Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications or make the skin more sensitive to the treatment.

2. Tanning Beds:
   Refrain from using tanning beds for 2 weeks before your treatment to prevent irritation and ensure optimal treatment effectiveness.

3. Self-Tanners:
   Discontinue the use of self-tanning products for 2 weeks before your session. These can affect how the light energy is absorbed by the skin.

4. Exfoliating or Irritating Skincare Products:
   Avoid using products that contain retinoids, exfoliating scrubs, or AHAs/BHAs for 5-7 days prior to your treatment to minimize skin sensitivity.

5. Active Skin Infections or Irritations:
   If you have any active skin infections, rashes, or open wounds in the treatment area, it's best to reschedule your appointment until the skin has healed.

By avoiding these factors, you'll help ensure the best results from your SkinTyte treatment. Always consult with your provider for any additional personalized recommendations!

After your SkinTyte treatment, follow these guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimize any risks:

1. Sun Exposure:
   Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Protect the treated area with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent pigmentation changes or irritation.

2. Tanning Beds:
   Refrain from using tanning beds for 2 weeks post-treatment to avoid any risk of irritation or complications.

3. Hot Showers, Saunas, and Steam Rooms:
   Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 24-48 hours after the treatment. Excessive heat can irritate the skin and prolong redness or inflammation.

4. Strenuous Exercise:
   Avoid intense physical activity or exercise that causes heavy sweating for at least 24 hours after treatment. Sweating can exacerbate irritation and delay the healing process.

5. Harsh Skincare Products:
   For 5-7 days after treatment, avoid using retinoids, scrubs, or products containing AHAs/BHAs, as they may irritate the treated area.

6. Picking or Scratching:
   Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated area. If you notice any mild redness or warmth, it should subside within a few hours. Let your skin heal naturally.

7. Moisturize:
   Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer if you experience any dryness or tightness. This helps support the skin's recovery and maintains comfort.

By following these aftercare steps, you'll support your skin's healing process and maximize the results of your SkinTytetreatment. Always reach out to your provider if you experience any unusual symptoms or have questions.

SkinTyte uses infrared light energy to deeply penetrate the skin and heat the dermis (the deeper layer of the skin) without damaging the surface. The heat causes the skin to contract, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that promote skin firmness and elasticity. This results in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Typically, 5-6 treatments are recommended for optimal results, spaced about 2-4 weeks apart. The number of treatments needed will depend on your skin's condition, the area being treated, and your desired outcome.

Results from SkinTyte will begin to become noticeable after about 3-4 weeks as collagen production increases. Full results can take 3-6 months as the collagen remodeling process continues and your skin becomes tighter and firmer over time.

SkinTyte results can last for 6-12 months depending on factors like age, skin condition, and lifestyle. To maintain the results, occasional touch-up treatments may be recommended every 6-12 months.

SkinTyte has minimal downtime, and most people can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. You might experience some mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this typically resolves within a few hours.

During the treatment, you will feel a warming sensation as the infrared light is delivered to the skin. The device uses a cooling system to keep the surface of your skin comfortable, so the treatment is generally well-tolerated and relatively painless. Some patients compare the feeling to a warm massage.
