Several factors affect the development of skin laxity or loose skin. As we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen and elastin. These proteins give skin tone and elasticity. Decreased production leads to the skin becoming thinner and more prone to sagging.
Underlying fat diminishes, contributing to sagging skin. Genetics, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes also affect skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, and hydration can also affect the skin.
The Sciton SkinTyte® in Kansas City is a non-surgical approach that can tighten the appearance of loose skin and help delay or eliminate the need for surgical procedures.
Sciton SkinTyte® is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced infrared light technology to deliver energy to the dermal layers of the skin. The handheld device delivers rapid, gentle pulses of light, allowing you to receive effective treatment without anesthesia. The light is carefully controlled to target the dermis while protecting the outer layer.
The infrared light heats collagen, causing it to contract and tighten. This stimulates the natural healing response and collagen production. SkinTyte also uses advanced cooling technology, making you more comfortable during the procedure.
The ideal candidate has mild to moderate skin laxity and is looking for a non-invasive solution to help firm their skin. You may be experiencing early signs of aging, such as sagging skin on your face, neck, abdomen, or arms. Sciton SkinTyte® fits into your busy life with its minimal downtime.
Good candidates should have realistic expectations of the results and will be in good overall health. It is highly recommended that you do not smoke since smoking reduces blood supply to the skin, which reduces oxygen and nutrients and lowers the production of collagen and elastin. Since SkinTyte is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, it is a versatile option for many people.
The Sciton SkinTyte® procedure is light-based and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. You do not need an anesthetic; the total recovery is 20 minutes. While most people need six treatments, optimal results are typically seen between three and 12 months.
The procedure is non-invasive, comfortable, and improves skin tightness and firmness. SkinTyte is suitable for many skin types and tones, so it is a versatile treatment option for natural-looking results and quick treatment sessions. Since SkinTyte can be used across multiple areas of the body, it offers a non-surgical approach to lift procedures, including on the face, neck, abdomen, and arms.
Sciton SkinTyte® is primarily used to treat mild skin laxity on the face, neck, size, and arms. However, it also helps address fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead that a loss of skin elasticity may have caused.
Many women experience loose skin in the abdominal area after pregnancy due to significant weight fluctuations. Sciton SkinTyte can help address those issues and sagging skin in multiple areas of the body that occurs after significant weight loss in others. Finally, the procedure can also be used by those who want to maintain or enhance their skin tone and texture as part of a preventative aging strategy.
Skin type and genetics can vary, which influences the immediate and long-term results of the procedure. People in Kansas City can expect the Sciton SkinTyte® process to offer gradual improvement over several months. Some people may notice an immediate tightening due to the collagen contraction that occurs when it is heated.
The most significant results develop over several months as your body produces new collagen. This causes the skin to improve in firmness and elasticity, leading to a more youthful appearance that is particularly evident in the face, neck, and arms.
As we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin, which can result in skin laxity or looseness. Sciton SkinTyte® in Kansas City is a non-surgical approach to tightening and firming your skin with less downtime than lift procedures.
