SkinTyte® at Dermatology Associates Skin & Cancer Center offers a gentle, non-surgical way to firm and smooth lax or sagging skin on the face, neck, and body. Backed by our decades-long commitment to exceptional, detail-oriented care, this light-based treatment helps you restore natural elasticity with minimal downtime.
Tighten Lax Skin With Gentle Broadband Light Energy
SkinTyte is a non-invasive, light-based treatment that improves mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and body. It uses broadband light energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface cool and protected. This controlled heating stimulates the production of new collagen, helping the skin gradually become firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking. SkinTyte is ideal for those seeking noticeable tightening without surgery.
What Does SkinTyte Treat?
SkinTyte improves mild to moderate skin laxity by targeting the deeper layers where collagen breaks down over time. Its broadband light gently heats the tissue to encourage firmer, tighter, and more elastic skin on multiple areas of the face and body. This makes it a versatile option for overall skin rejuvenation.
SkinTyte is commonly used to address:
- Loose or sagging facial skin
- Crepey neck or décolletage skin
- Mild jowling or lower-face laxity
- Laxity on the abdomen, arms, or thighs
- Early signs of aging on larger body areas

How Does SkinTyte Work?
SkinTyte delivers powerful broadband light deep into the dermis, gently heating the tissue while a cooling system protects the skin’s surface. This controlled heat causes the existing collagen fibers to contract and signals your body to produce new collagen over time. As fresh collagen forms and strengthens, the treated skin gradually becomes firmer, tighter, and more elastic. The process is non-invasive and relies entirely on your natural healing response.
Advantages of SkinTyte:
- Non-invasive treatment with no need for anesthesia
- Minimal downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately
- Comfortable sessions with built-in cooling for surface protection
- Safe for many skin types and multiple body areas
- Stimulates natural collagen production for gradual, long-lasting tightening
- Effective option for mild to moderate skin laxity
- Can be combined with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results
Our SkinTyte Treatment Experience
Your SkinTyte Session
During SkinTyte, you’ll relax as your provider cleanses the treatment area and applies a protective gel. The handheld device is guided across your skin in multiple passes, delivering gentle broadband light while a cooling plate keeps the skin’s surface comfortable. You’ll feel a gradual, warming sensation as the deeper layers heat. Most sessions take about 30 minutes. Once finished, you can return to your day immediately with little to no visible redness.
Is There Downtime After SkinTyte?
There is little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this usually fades within minutes to a few hours. You can return to work, run errands, or engage in social activities right away, provided you use sun protection.
How Many SkinTyte Sessions Will I Need?
You’ll typically need a series of three to five treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve the best results. Your provider will tailor the number of sessions to your skin laxity, treatment area, and goals. Because collagen production takes time, you’ll notice gradual improvements after each visit, with the full effect becoming more visible a few months after completing your series.
