BBL SkinTyte Treatment in Minneapolis

Safe for all skin types, SkinTyte treatments can be used to improve the firmness of any area of your body. Popular areas for SkinTyte treatment include the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. During a complimentary consultation at Hogue Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Hogue can assist you in determining whether the SkinTyte treatment is right for you.

Skin Tyte is a new innovative, non-invasive, non-surgical option that is available for skin tightening. It uses infrared light energy technology that tightens and firms up skin. The procedure is administered quickly and painlessly without anesthesia or sedation, incisions, needles or downtime for recovery. It provides safe and effective results in revitalizing any area of the body that needs improvement, thus, giving patients firmer, and more youthful appearance. It is best for patients looking for moderate and noticeable improvements without experiencing the risk and expense of cosmetic surgery; however, it is not a substitute for a face-lift procedure.

The entire Skin Tyte process takes about 30-60 minutes depending on the area to be treated. It uses a series of gentle combination of warm and cold infrared laser pulses that heats the collagen in the skin while simultaneously cooling the skin’s outer layer, leaving an increased and tighter looking skin. Success of result can be achieved within 3-4 months and may need 2-5 sessions with 3-4 weeks interval. Most treatments are done on the face, neck, upper chest, abdomen and arms. It helps improve fine lines, wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, Rosacea and acne scars. Women who are pregnant, or patients with connective tissue disease, autoimmune disorders, those who have recently sun-tanned or will be exposed to excessive sun are not advised to receive the treatment.

Before undergoing the treatment, patients are required to remove all make-up, ointments and creams that were previously applied on the face. Men are advised to shave prior to the day of the appointment. Blisters, skin infections, lesions or herpetic sores on the area of the skin to be treated is not recommended and should be discussed with the physician. This could lead to postponement or delay in the procedure. Patients are required to wear eye shield or goggles to avoid damaging the eyes. A soothing gel will be placed on the skin prior to the treatment to reduce discomfort or irritation during the process. After the entire session, the patient can leave the clinic and continue with their day. Though some may feel a tingling sensation, minimal swelling or redness on the first day following the treatment, it should be gone in a short period of time. Women can wear make-up soon after the procedure. There could, however, be a rare possible side effect associated with Skin Tyte treatment and this includes a slight risk of swelling of the face for 3-5 days or post-treatment pigmentation. If any of these happen, thepatient should consult the doctor immediately.

Common side effects of SkinTyte treatment include mild redness in the treatment area. However, your skin tone is likely to return to normal within minutes. There is no downtime with the SkinTyte treatment because it is a non-invasive procedure. You can resume your normal activities immediately following treatment. You can also apply makeup and sunscreen after each treatment session.
Although you are not required to follow a special skincare regimen following treatment, you should always protect your skin from direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen. If you prefer, a staff member at Hogue Cosmetic Surgery can recommend a skin care regimen for you to follow at home.
