Why Get Laser Skin Tightening?

However, there are many treatments available, including surgical options and non-invasive therapies like SkinTyte laser treatment. With the right care and attention, it is possible to refresh the appearance of your skin and feel confident once again.

About Laser Skin Tightening

SkinTyte uses gentle pulses of infrared-light to heat the dermal layers, prompting the body’s natural healing process and increasing new collagen production. The contraction of collagen fibers that are already in your skin, joined with the newly added dermal collagen results in skin tightening and improved skin firmness. SkinTyte is a wonderful alternative to surgery as most patients will be able to resume their normal activities immediately following treatment.
