Have you noticed your skin becoming laxer and looser as time goes on? This happens because of the natural decrease in collagen and elastin that occurs with aging. If you want to tighten and firm your loose skin, consider SkinTyte®. This treatment uses innovative Sciton laser technology for skin tightening at the cellular level and creates a more youthful appearance on your face and body. Contact The Heights Plastic Surgery Med Spa online or by phone in San Antonio to find out more about SkinTyte skin tightening.
What Is Skin Tightening?
Skin tightening refers to non-surgical cosmetic procedures that aim to improve the firmness and elasticity of your skin. As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping it tight and youthful. This leads to sagging, wrinkles, and a loss of definition in the face and body.
Skin tightening treatments use various technologies to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process encourages the skin to contract and tighten, resulting in a more youthful and contoured appearance.

SkinTyte: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening
SkinTyte is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced infrared light technology to heat the deep layers of your skin. This heating process stimulates collagen production, which leads to firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. We use a handheld device to emit this light into the deeper layers of your skin, leading to changes at the cellular level. This unique light energy can also stimulate new collagen production, leading to a skin tightening and firming effect.
Here’s a breakdown of what makes SkinTyte a great option for skin tightening:
How It Works
SkinTyte uses infrared light to gently heat the dermis (the second layer of your skin). This heat triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. These proteins are essential for maintaining the skin’s structure and elasticity.
Areas Treated
SkinTyte can be used on various areas of the face and body, including:
- Face (jowls, cheeks, nasolabial folds)
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Thighs
What To Expect
The treatment is generally comfortable, with many of our patients describing the sensation as a warm massage. There is no downtime, although you may experience some mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, which usually subsides quickly.
SkinTyte is a great option if you are looking for a non-surgical way to improve skin laxity and achieve a more youthful appearance. It’s particularly effective for those with mild to moderate skin laxity and can be an excellent alternative to more invasive procedures like surgery.
