SkinTyte II™

What It Is

SkinTyte is infrared light that heats dermal collagen to support firmer-looking skin. It is non-surgical and non-invasive, and generally well tolerated, and works for almost every problem area in the body. Here are more reasons to book your SkinTyte II Oakville treatment now.

Treatment Areas

Typically, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity as a natural effect of ageing due to suboptimal collagen production. SkinTyte II Oakville can restore your skin’s firmness and can efficiently target flabby, sagging skin on the:

• Face
• Jaw
• Neck
• Hands
• Arms
• Knees
• Abdomen

Aside from its amazing skin-tightening benefits, SkinTyte II is also effective in treating hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and other skin conditions. Because of its safety and gentleness on the skin, SkinTyte II Oakville can also be used as a complementary treatment to other skin-tightening procedures.

How to Prepare

SkinTyte II is a simple and no-fuss in-office procedure that should last no more than 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. It does not really require any major preparation on your end. But before coming into the office, we recommend that you avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks. Inform your doctor of any skin infection, wound, breakout, blister, or sore that appears before the treatment.

How It Works

SkinTyte II works by taking advantage of advanced infrared light technology to penetrate deep layers of the skin. Before the procedure, your doctor will ask you to wear protective goggles to shield the eyes and avoid direct exposure to the light. SkinTyte II Oakville treatment involves a series of exposing the target areas to pulsed infrared light. This heats the dermal collagen and causes it to contract. This process also stimulates the production of new collagen. The treatment is comfortable and well tolerated.

Results You Can Expect

SkinTyte II Oakville results may vary. They can be gradual improvements that become most obvious within four to six months of post-treatment. You may need multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. Your doctor will recommend a treatment plan based on your skin condition and goals.

Aftercare and Recovery

Sessions typically take 30–45 minutes per area, with no downtime for most patients. However, some patients may experience mild redness and swelling. This usually resolves within a few hours. Post-treatment reactions are rare, but here are some practical aftercare tips to do if you experience any discomfort:

• Apply a cold compress for a soothing effect
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week after
• Wear sunscreen or protective clothing if you must go outdoors
• Avoid shaving
• Do not use heavily scented soaps, lotions, or moisturizers

Discuss recovery and aftercare with your doctor for a more personalized recommendation.

• Pregnant or trying to become pregnant
