Mechanism of Action

SkinTyte utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen while protecting the entire treated area with sapphire contact cooling. The uniform heating effectively targets the desired area and immediately stimulates collagen contraction and remodeling.

This process initiates the body’s natural healing process and a new foundation of collagen is created, resulting in a firmer, more youthful skin appearance. The full effect of skin firming treatments can be seen over several subsequent months.
