At the Center for Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine, we offer SkinTyte, a non-surgical pulsed light treatment done to tighten skin. If you wish to tighten and firm your skin without taking a significant amount of time off to recover, SkinTyte may be for you.

How Does SkinTyte II™ Work?

SkinTyte II™ is a non-invasive light energy treatment to tighten the skin, reducing wrinkles and firming tissues. By utilizing broadband light, SkinTyte II™ heats dermal collagen, contracting the collagen, and stimulating the body’s natural healing process. The most common areas treated are the face, neck, and chest, though SkinTyte II™ can also be used to treat the abdomen, hips, upper arms, and hands.

WHAT CAN SKINTYTE II™ TREAT?

  • face

  • neck

  • chest

What to Expect with SkinTyte II™

Prior to your treatment, patients must remove any facial makeup, as well as creams. Men will be asked to shave any facial hair prior to arrival. Treatment begins with special eye goggles being placed around a patient’s eyes. A soothing gel can be applied to the skin to ensure a comfortable treatment session. A series of gentle pulsed light treatments will then be done. Treatments take about 30 minutes per area.

SkinTyte II™ Results

Following a SkinTyte II™ treatment, most patients feel that their skin looks and feels tighter, however, optimal results will often appear over a three to six-month period. Most patients require three to five sessions spaced approximately one month apart. Patients may experience mild swelling for the first day, though icing can help to bring down swelling and reduce discomfort. There is no downtime associated with SkinTyte II™, so patients can return to their everyday routine as soon as they feel comfortable.

Meet the Doctors

– Dan

I have been going to see Dr. Kalimullah and Jennifer since 2017. They have been amazing and have provided the best service and keeping my face looking fresh. Their expertise is incredible and everything they have done for me has been immaculate – never any issues with the laser treatments or injections. They are also really mindful and conservative to ensure I look like me, but just the best version of me. Love this place. Only trust my face to them!

– Ariane

My experience at CDAM was very pleasant. Dr. Cavanaugh and his staff were warm and inviting. He explained the procedure thoroughly and was very gentle, making sure I was comfortable at all times. The medical assistant was nice and explained all the aftercare instructions in detail. My follow up appointment was seamless and efficient as well. I will be returning to CDAM in the future for more aesthetic procedures!
