As we age, the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin diminishes, causing the skin to lose its youthful elasticity. This leads to sagging skin, wrinkles, and an overall aging appearance. If you are bothered by lax, sagging skin on your face, neck, arms, abdomen or thighs, there is a solution.
At Gill Aesthetic Institute, we offer SkinTyte II – an innovative, non-invasive treatment that can help tighten and firm your skin for a more youthful, toned appearance.
Overview of SkinTyte Technology
SkinTyte II uses gentle, infrared thermal energy to deeply heat the dermal tissue beneath the surface of the skin. This controlled heating causes the collagen in the treatment area to immediately contract. The skin’s healing process is initiated, boosting collagen production and improving skin firmness and elasticity over time.
The SkinTyte II device delivers thermal energy through a large 25×30 mm treatment tip. The built-in cooling mechanism ensures patient comfort and safety during treatment. The Surface Cooling Spray attachment provides additional epidermal protection.
SkinTyte II treatments are customized by our expert providers based on your specific skin laxity concerns and treatment goals. Treatments are quick, taking 30-60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated, with no downtime required!
What Are the Benefits of SkinTyte II?
SkinTyte II offers several benefits that make it an appealing option for non-surgical skin tightening:
- Improves Skin Firmness and Elasticity: SkinTyte’s thermal heating stimulates new collagen production in the deep dermal layer of the skin. Over a series of treatments, this newly synthesized collagen gradually remodels and contracts, improving skin firmness and elasticity in the treated areas.
- Non-Invasive with No Downtime: As a non-invasive procedure, SkinTyte requires no incisions or injections. It is gentle enough for use on delicate areas like the neck, face, and décolletage.
- Safe for All Skin Types: SkinTyte can be used effectively on patients of any skin type, including those with sensitive skin. The radiofrequency energy gently heats tissue while keeping the surface of the skin cool and protected.
- Natural Looking Results: SkinTyte tightens skin gradually over a course of treatments. This stimulates new collagen production uniformly for subtle, natural looking tightening and lifting without drastic results.
- Enhances Body Contouring Procedures: SkinTyte is an excellent complement to body contouring treatments like EMSCULPT NEO. By refining and tightening skin, SkinTyte can enhance the overall results of body sculpting procedures.
- Versatile Treatment Areas: SkinTyte can be used to treat loose, sagging skin on targeted areas including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. The thighs and abdomen are common treatment sites.
- Minimal Side Effects: Most patients experience minimal side effects from SkinTyte, primarily mild redness that resolves quickly. More aggressive treatments may cause some temporary numbness, tingling or tenderness.

How Does SkinTyte II Compare to Other Skin Tightening Procedures?
SkinTyte II stands apart from other skin tightening options. Here’s how it compares:
Vs. Surgical Facelifts
While a facelift can produce more dramatic results, it requires incisions, involves risks, and requires significant downtime. SkinTyte is non-invasive and provides subtle improvements with no surgery required.
Vs. Ultrasound Skin Tightening
Ultrasound devices cannot penetrate as deeply as SkinTyte’s infrared energy, and may not stimulate as much new collagen. SkinTyte provides better skin firming over time.
Vs. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
SkinTyte’s large treatment tip and advanced contact cooling allow for more comfortable, deeper energy delivery compared to radiofrequency.
Vs. Laser Skin Resurfacing
While lasers can improve skin texture, only SkinTyte specifically targets collagen production in the deep dermis for skin tightening effects.
While outcomes vary by individual, SkinTyte II generally produces longer lasting, gradual skin tightening results compared to these other modalities. Our providers can advise you on the best option for your needs and goals.
What Areas Can Be Treated with SkinTyte II?
SkinTyte II can be used to treat a wide variety of areas on the face and body where patients want to improve skin laxity, wrinkles, and sun damage. Some of the most popular treatment areas include:
| Area | SkinTyte Benefits |
| Face | Lifts and tightens sagging cheeks, jowls, chin, and neck. Restores a more defined, contoured appearance. Reduces signs of aging. Smooths fine lines and wrinkles around eyes, forehead, and lips. |
| Stomach | Tightens loose, sagging abdominal skin caused by weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging. Stimulates collagen production. Smooths and flattens the abdomen. |
| Arms | Reduces crepey, wrinkled skin on upper arms. Tightens and smoothes loose arm skin. |
| Thighs | Improves skin laxity, wrinkles, and cellulite on thighs caused by aging and sun damage. Helps thighs look smoother, firmer, and more toned. |
| Knees | Tightens loose, sagging knee skin for a more youthful appearance. Minimizes wrinkles and crepey skin on knees. |
| Décolletage | Rejuvenates mature chest and neck skin. Smooths horizontal neck lines. Tightens crepey décolletage skin. |
SkinTyte can be used on most areas of the body where laxity or sagging is a concern. Our providers will conduct a thorough consultation to determine if you are a candidate and the optimal treatment areas for your individual needs.
The SkinTyte II Procedure
At Gill Aesthetic Institute, we use the advanced SkinTyte II system to help you achieve firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin. Here is what you can expect during your SkinTyte II treatment with us:
- Skin Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed to remove any lotions, creams or oils from the skin. For sensitive areas, a topical anesthetic cream may be applied to maximize comfort.
- Treatment Tip Positioning: Your provider will systematically move the SkinTyte II handpiece across the treatment area, delivering gentle pulses of thermal energy to heat the deeper dermal tissue.
- Epidermal Cooling: The handpiece’s sapphire cooling tip and optional cooling spray will maintain a comfortable surface temperature. You may feel mild warmth as the deeper layers are heated.
- Personalized Treatment Settings: Your technician will adjust the settings like pulse duration and energy level based on your needs and treatment goals.
- Post-Treatment Care: Immediately after your session, your skin may appear flushed. This typically resolves within a few hours. We suggest avoiding hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Gradual Tightening: You will begin to notice improvements in your skin firmness and tone over the 2-3 months following your final session as your body’s natural collagen regeneration process continues.
While the treatment sensations vary by individual, SkinTyte can be as relaxing as a hot stone massage. We take every measure to ensure your complete comfort and safety.
