The Skin Tyte  is based on the principle of selective thermolysis to generate heat in your skin while keeping the surface cool. This deep heating of dermal collagen promotes breakdown and repair and contraction of new collagen fibers. Renewed collagen leads to increased skin firmness and tone. Lose the loose turkey neck, belly sagginess and any where else your skin needs tightening. Skin Tyte is quick with no downtime.

The Skin Tyte light energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. There is no need for a topical anesthetic ,however, Dr. Rioux may choose to use one on more sensitive areas. A series of pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure best results. While the face and neck can typically be treated within 30 minutes, actually time will depend on the area treated.

You may experience some mild redness in the treated area immediately after and this should return to normal within minutes. Since the Skin Tyte procedure is non-invasive there is no down time so you can resume regular activities immediately following treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each session.

The Skin Tyte procedure is not a substitute for a face-lift and results may vary from patient to patient. The Skin Tyte procedure is recommended for patients who desire moderate,noticeable skin improvement without having to undergo surgery. Full results often take up to four months as the collagen foundation of your skin is rebuilt and stengthened.

A series of 2-3 treatments spaced a month apart is typical of most patients. Dr. Rioux will personalize a treatment plan based on the level of improvement you desire. Dr. Rioux may also combine Skin Tyte with other popular aesthetic procedures to further personalize your treatment.
