Combat Skin Laxity With SkinTyte Treatment in St. Louis

Loose, sagging skin is one of the more noticeable and frustrating signs of aging. As we get older, our bodies gradually produce less of essential proteins like collagen and elastin, which allows the skin to lose its youthful firmness. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, our medspa offers a cutting-edge laser treatment called SkinTyte, which can help your body increase its production of these important proteins to tighten and rejuvenate areas of loose skin.

What Is SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is a cosmetic laser treatment designed to address skin laxity and create firmer, smoother skin. Using pulsed light technology, SkinTyte deeply heats your skin while cooling and protecting the surface area. The heat that is delivered helps your body’s natural healing process begin, leading to the development of new, healthy skin cells. It also creates the foundation for new collagen and elastin production while promoting your skin’s firmness.

Benefits of SkinTyte

For individuals dealing with loose, sagging skin around the face or abdomen, SkinTyte can offer various benefits, including the following:

  • Tighter, firmer skin
  • Reduced skin laxity
  • Increased collagen and elastin production
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results
  • Little to no recovery time
  • A healthier, more youthful complexion
  • Increased self-confidence

What to Expect During Your SkinTyte Treatment in St. Louis

Your SkinTyte treatment at Renaissance Plastic Surgery will begin with a private consultation. During this meeting, one of our skin rejuvenation experts will talk with you about your specific aesthetic goals and what to expect during the procedure.

At our medical spa, the SkinTyte procedure will be quick and painless. It will also not require any topical anesthetic. During the treatment, one of our experienced nurses will apply the SkinTyte device to your skin in the targeted area.

This device will use infrared light to deliver several gentle pulses to the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process as well as the increased production of collagen and elastin. You may feel a slight warming sensation during the procedure, but it should not be painful.

Once your SkinTyte treatment session is finished, you’ll likely be able to return home or go back to work immediately.

What Is the Recovery Like After SkinTyte Treatment?

Typically, SkinTyte treatment does not require any recovery time, and you should have no problem resuming your normal routine right away. You may experience some skin redness and tenderness in the treated area, but these symptoms usually only last for a few hours.

After the treatment, you’ll want to keep your skin moisturized. Additionally, it’s best to refrain from working out or using a sauna for at least 24 to 48 hours.
