A woman came to Island Dermatology to help improve the appearance of her neck and chin, which had sagging skin and wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging. The dermatologist recommended a series of Skin Tyte treatments using a BBL Laser.
Skin Tyte uses pulsed light to deliver targeted infrared thermal heat. The heat stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes production of collagen, helping to firm loose skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The outer skin is protected during the process by sapphire contact cooling for patient safety and comfort. At least three treatments are recommended to see results, though more may sometimes be necessary to achieve a patient’s desired outcome. The laser can be used over large areas, but it is versatile and can treat small areas with precision.
The patient was happy to learn Skin Tyte is a non-invasive procedure. Prior to treatment, a numbing ointment was applied to her skin to ease any discomfort from the heat therapy. A series of pulsed infrared light was then administered over the next half hour. She was able to return to her normal activities immediately, with no down time. After six treatments, she saw significant results.
The patient was very satisfied with her new jaw line, which friends and family said gave her a more youthful appearance. She choose to return to Island Dermatology for six treatments the following month to help firm her stomach. For more information, contact our team at Island Dermatology.
