SkinTyte in Chevy Chase, Maryland

As you age, your skin just doesn’t bounce back as quickly as it did when you were younger. Skin laxity, or sagging skin, can really impact how you feel about yourself. The perfect way to treat loose or sagging skin is with SkinTyte, a non-invasive procedure that improves tightness and firmness.
Why SkinTyte Laser

Why Choose SkinTyte Laser Treatment?

Traditional skin laxity treatments are very invasive and require a lot of downtime. SkinTyte is non-invasive and non-surgical, so there is no downtime and you can resume your daily activities right after your treatment is over. Not only that, SkinTyte can treat a wide variety of areas like your belly, neck, and arms.
What to Expect

Your SkinTyte Laser Appointment

1

What Does SkinTyte Feel Like?

You feel a sensation of gentle, warm, and rapid pulses while you are being treated. Any pain that may occur is minor and goes away quickly. Your provider may choose to use numbing cream on extra sensitive areas of your skin.

2

When Will I See SkinTyte Laser Results?

You see small results within a week after your first treatment. SkinTyte gives the treated area a boost in collagen production, and it takes about four months to completely rejuvenate your skin. After that, you see noticeably firmer and tighter skin.

Candidacy

Am I a Good Candidate for an Acne Specialist?

SkinTyte is an excellent service for all skin types and is completely customizable to suit individual needs. However, it can only treat moderate skin laxity, so if your condition is more severe, talk to your provider about other options. SkinTyte is not recommended for women who are pregnant or people taking Accutane.
