No! One of the best things about SkinTyte is that it's virtually painless for a majority of our patients. You should expect a slight warming sensation, which can be uncomfortable to some people, but other than that, SkinTyte is utterly painless.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of SkinTyte appointments needed can vary depending on a multitude of factors, such as the areas being treated, your desired results, and your current skin condition. Patients will often benefit from a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. Your provider will assess your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals during your consultation, which will also give them a better idea of how many sessions you may need. Please keep in mind that your skin may or may not respond exactly as planned, so this can affect the number of sessions you will need. We will always make sure you leave with a good understanding of your progress.

How long until I see results?

Unfortunately, SkinTyte results are not immediate because the treatment works by stimulating the body's natural collagen production which promotes a gradual tightening and improvement in the skin's texture. Most patients begin noticing initial improvements within a few weeks after the first treatment. The full benefits of SkinTyte should become more apparent over time, with optimal results revealing themselves around two to three months after your series of treatments is complete.

Can I combine SkinTyte with other procedures?

SkinTyte can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance and complement the results. Many of our SkinTyte Philadelphia patients will combine their treatment with other non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments we offer like BOTOX or Dermal Fillers. No matter what your aesthetic goals are, our team looks forward to helping you choose the best treatments for you.

What are the risks associated with SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is considered a safe and non-invasive procedure with minimal risks; however, as with any cosmetic treatment, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of: Blistering or burns Bruising Changes in pigmentation Mild discomfort Redness and swelling Skin sensitivity While any side effects from SkinTyte are minimal and should heal on their own, if you have any long-lasting or concerning reactions, please contact our office immediately.

SkinTyte In Philadelphia | Subbio Plastic Surgery

Introduction to SkinTyte

Sagging skin is a very common condition that men and women must deal with as they age, but it doesn’t have to be something anyone has to live with. While there are many rejuvenation procedures out there, not every patient needs something as extensive as a Facelift. If you are noticing that your skin is loose but you’re looking for a more natural approach, SkinTyte can be an excellent choice! At Subbio Plastic Surgery in Philadelphia, we can help our patients achieve a more youthful appearance with just a few quick, non-invasive treatments.

What is SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that is designed to tighten and lift loose or sagging skin which helps create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. By using advanced light-based technology, the SkinTyte treatment stimulates collagen production deep within the skin’s layers, creating a natural skin tightening with improved texture.

One of the remarkable aspects of SkinTyte is its versatility, making it suitable for various areas of the body; this allows patients to address specific concerns, such as sagging jowls, wrinkles, or loose skin on the abdomen, with customized treatment plans.

During the SkinTyte treatment at Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, the targeted area is treated with gentle pulses of infrared light that safely and effectively heat your dermal collagen. This controlled heating process triggers your body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Over time, the newly formed collagen enhances skin firmness and elasticity, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin.

What are the Benefits of SkinTyte?

SkinTyte in Philadelphia offers a range of remarkable benefits for individuals seeking a non-invasive solution to tighten and lift their skin:

Encourages collagen and elastin production
Improves laxity and firmness of your skin
Overall skin rejuvenation
Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
Refreshes aging skin
Restores facial contour
Softens facial lines and creases

Who are the Best Candidates for a SkinTyte procedure?

In general, the best candidates for a Philadelphia SkinTyte treatment are individuals who wish to improve the appearance of their skin. Some of the few requirements we expect our potential candidates to have include:

Are at a stable body weight, as any weight gain will undo the results of the treatment
Have fair to medium skin tones (some treatments can be used on darker skin)
Keeps a positive attitude throughout the treatments and recovery
Maintain realistic expectations
No history of hyperpigmentation, or currently don’t have skin conditions, such as sunburn or eczema
Not currently pregnant
Skin conditions must have moderate to mild skin laxity, as severe skin laxity cannot usually be corrected with non-invasive tightening treatments.

What’s the First Step?

The first step towards experiencing Philly’s best skin tightening treatment is to schedule a SkinTyte consultation with Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa. During this appointment, you will have the opportunity to discuss your skin concerns, aesthetic goals, and desired outcomes.

Your skin will be evaluated by one of our certified providers and they will discuss your overall health. Depending on the assessment, we will determine if SkinTyte is the right treatment for you and if not, if there are other, more suitable options to address your specific needs.

Once the two of you have agreed on your candidacy and the appropriate approach for your treatment, your custom procedure plan will be made. Using this information, our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you schedule your appointment and provide you with any instructions that will make your experience achieve better results.

What to Expect on the Day of SkinTyte Treatment

On the day of your SkinTyte treatment at Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, you will be warmly welcomed and made comfortable in one of our treatment chairs. The skin of your treatment area will be cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or debris. Since SkinTyte is a non-invasive treatment, you should not require anesthesia, but our team will use the latest techniques to make you have a comfortable and quick procedure. If you are concerned about any pain or discomfort, please discuss it during your consultation and we will figure out the best options for you.

The SkinTyte treatment requires your provider to maneuver the handheld device gently over your skin as it emits gentle pulses of infrared light that target the deep layers of your skin. Patients have expressed the sensation as painless but a soothing warmth that’s very therapeutic in some cases.

The duration of the procedure will depend on the size and number of areas being treated, but SkinTyte sessions typically last between 30 minutes to an hour.

SkinTyte Recovery

After your SkinTyte treatment, you can expect a comfortable recovery process. You will be able to return to your normal routine after you leave our office since there is no need for special post-treatment care or restrictions, however, you may experience some mild redness or warmth in the treated areas. These effects are generally temporary and should subside within a few hours.
