BBL SkinTyte

What is BBL SkinTyte?

The BBL SkinTyte is a non-invasive treatment option for advanced skin tightening benefits by increasing skin firmness and reducing the appearance of skin laxity and sagging. The SkinTyte device uses innovative broadband light technology to safely and effectively produce bulk heating in the dermis of the skin. This heat initiates the body’s natural healing responses while simultaneously generating partial denaturation and contraction of collagen fibres. The denaturing and contracting response allows for the breakdown of old, weak collagen and elastin fibres and encourages the opportunity and activation of new and stronger collagen and elastin development.

Collagen is the skins most abundant protein that provides the basis of our skins strength, density and structure. Elastin is also an integral protein in the skin that provides elasticity, giving the skin its ability to stretch and snap back into position. Our skin changes as we age as there is a decrease in the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin, which leads to a reduction skin firmness, thickness and strength. This can result in the skin looking thinner, tired and less firm. Skin laxity can become a concern for individuals especially around the lower face and neck and there are limited non-surgical options that have proven efficacy. SkinTyte is a non-surgical option to address and improve these concerns and encourage stronger, thicker and healthier looking skin.

SkinTyte is a non-invasive treatment option with less associated discomfort and downtime compared with other laser and light based treatments.

Who is suitable to have this treatment? +

  • This treatment is suitable for all skin types
  • Great treatment option for those who are concerned with mild to moderate laxity on the lower face and neck
  • One of our experienced Dermal Clinicians can determine if this treatment is right for you

What areas can be treated with SkinTyte? +

At NSDL we use the SkinTyte device to treat the lower face and neck.

How many treatments are required? +

  • The severity of the skin condition or concern will determine your specific treatment plan. This will be discussed and explained to you by a Dermal Clinician during your initial consult
  • To achieve the best long term results, a course of 6 treatments is recommended at 4 week intervals
  • Collagen remodelling can take up to 6-12 months to complete so treatment success is dependent on the treatment timing and commitment

What is involved in the BBL SkinTyte treatment? +

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

  • Ensure that you have not had any recent sun exposure or sunburn for at least two weeks prior to treatment
  • We recommend you cease any active products (e.g. retinol, AHAs etc.) or prescription topical agents for 3-5 days before your treatment, as these ingredients can potentially cause light sensitivity.

DURING YOUR TREATMENT

  • Protective eyewear will be provided and applied before the treatment begins
  • There is some mild discomfort expected with the SkinTyte treatment and you may feel a warm prickly sensation. In order to achieve best results here is a need to reach a certain temperature within the skin and once that desired temperature has been achieved, it will be maintained for the duration of the treatment
  • This treatment usually takes 30-45 minutes

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT

  • Skin may feel a bit warm and appear a bit red, similar to a mild sunburn or exercise flush. This is usually very mild and disappears within a few hours after the treatment
  • Makeup can be used immediately post treatment
  • You can resume normal daily and work duties after SkinTyte

How to take care of your skin after the treatment +

To ensure you get the best results from your SkinTyte treatments we recommend the following:

  • There is very little to no downtime following the BBL SkinTyte Treatment and therefore there is minimal aftercare instructions to follow
  • A cosmeceutical skincare routine will be developed for you to enhance and maintain your results
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50+ daily

What are the risks and suitability of BBL treatment? +

Due to the advanced technology and of BBL, SkinTyte has a very low risk profile. The following side effects are extremely rare and unlikely;

  • Burns
  • Blisters
  • Hyper or hypo pigmentation
