The Specifics
What is SkinTyte™?
SkinTyte™ by Sciton is a non-invasive minor cosmetic procedure used to address skin laxity concerns as well as irregular pigmentation and texture. The infrared energy used in Skintyte naturally promotes collagen and elastin production in the body to tighten, firm, and plump skin. The refreshed, rejuvenated, and youthful appearance following a SkinTyte™ procedure will develop over time as the body's natural healing process occurs.
