What Is SkinTyte Skin Tightening?
SkinTyte is a nonsurgical, infrared skin-tightening treatment available at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX. It works differently than the resurfacing lasers offered elsewhere in our Lasers & Light menu, such as HALO or MOXI — instead of treating the skin's surface to refine tone and texture, SkinTyte delivers infrared light and heat energy deep into the dermis, the thick skin layer beneath the outer epidermis, to stimulate the fibroblast cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. As these cells become less productive with age, skin loses firmness and begins to sag. SkinTyte's collagen-building approach is designed to firm and tighten loose skin without surgery, using continuous sapphire contact cooling to keep patients comfortable throughout — with no downtime.

Why Choose SkinTyte
The benefits,
one infrared device.
Instead of combining multiple aesthetic treatments to firm lax skin, SkinTyte's infrared energy produces a range of improvements with a single device — gradually revealing tighter, firmer skin as collagen and elastin rebuild beneath the surface.
- 01
Deep Collagen Stimulation
Infrared energy heats dermal collagen to trigger the body's natural healing and collagen-building response.
- 02
Added Volume & Firmness
Rebuilding collagen and elastin restores volume to skin that has thinned and loosened with age.
- 03
Softer Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Firmer underlying skin structure helps soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- 04
Reduced Cellulite Appearance
Tightened skin and connective tissue can reduce the visible appearance of cellulite.
- 05
Faded Stretch Marks
Collagen remodeling can soften the appearance of existing stretch marks over a treatment series.
- 06
No Downtime, Any Skin Type
Well tolerated without topical anesthetic, with virtually no downtime, and effective across all skin types.
Tightening,
not resurfacing.
SkinTyte penetrates deeper into the skin than our Forever Young BBL treatment, making it effective on more noticeable skin laxity. But it works on a different problem than resurfacing lasers like HALO or MOXI: SkinTyte targets loose, sagging skin through deep collagen stimulation, while BBL and resurfacing lasers address surface-level concerns like age spots, redness, and uneven texture. SkinTyte does not treat pigmentation or discoloration.

Is SkinTyte
right for you?
SkinTyte is best suited to patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to firm and tighten their skin without surgery. Candidacy is confirmed during a one-on-one consultation with our team.
Patients with moderate to significant skin laxity may achieve better results from a surgical procedure such as a tummy tuck, which our team can discuss with you at your consultation.

Results
Your SkinTyte Results
Results build gradually with each session. Most patients notice initial firming about 30 days after their first treatment, with skin's appearance continuing to improve for up to 3 months as collagen and elastin rebuild beneath the surface.
SkinTyte results are long-lasting, though nothing can stop the aging process altogether — over time, skin will continue to lose collagen naturally. Many patients return periodically to maintain their results.
