SkinTyte in Beverly Hills with Dr. Jonathan Sykes
Using advanced broadband light technology and innovative thermal energy, SkinTyte reduces skin laxity and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production to improve your skin’s firmness and reverse the signs of aging on your complexion. Named for its ability to tighten and rejuvenate skin, SkinTyte treatments at Sykes Plastic Surgery can help remodel your skin by gently heating the deeper layers while keeping the surface cool, creating a natural, more youthful appearance.
What Is SkinTyte?
SkinTyte is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that helps tighten your skin and give it a more youthful appearance. It uses unique light energy to warm up the deeper layers of your skin, encouraging it to produce more collagen—the protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic.
Unlike more aggressive treatments, SkinTyte doesn’t damage your skin’s surface. Instead, it works from within, stimulating your body’s natural healing processes to rejuvenate your skin over time.
How Does SkinTyte Work?
SkinTyte treatment uses pulses of infrared light to heat the deeper layers of your skin while keeping its surface cool and comfortable. This gentle heating tricks your body into thinking it needs to repair your skin, kickstarting your natural collagen production.
It works because the light energy targets the water in your skin, causing it to heat up. This heat then stimulates the skin cells called fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen. As more collagen is produced, your skin becomes firmer and more elastic.
The SkinTyte Procedure
A typical SkinTyte session is straightforward and comfortable.
- Your skin will be cleansed, and a cool gel will be applied to help the device glide smoothly.
- The practitioner will use a handheld device to deliver pulses of light to your skin.
- You’ll feel a warming sensation, but it shouldn’t be painful. Many people find it quite relaxing!
- The treatment usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area.
- After the treatment, you might experience mild redness that typically fades within a few hours.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for SkinTyte?
One of the great features of SkinTyte is that it’s suitable for a wide range of people. In fact, SkinTyte is safe for all skin types, colors, and tones!
You might be an ideal candidate if:
- You’re noticing mild to moderate skin laxity (looseness)
- You want to improve your skin’s overall appearance and firmness
- You’re looking for a non-surgical option for skin tightening
- You have realistic expectations about gradual, natural-looking results
- You’re in good overall health
SkinTyte can be particularly beneficial for:
- People in their 30s to 60s who are starting to notice signs of aging
- Those who have lost weight and are left with slightly loose skin
- Anyone looking to maintain their youthful appearance proactively
It’s worth noting that while SkinTyte can provide noticeable improvements, it’s not a replacement for more dramatic procedures like a facelift. If you have severe skin sagging, you might need to consider other options.

What Areas Can Be Treated with SkinTyte?
SkinTyte is versatile and can be used on various parts of the body. Common treatment areas include:
- Face and neck: Helps to reduce jowls, tighten the jawline, and improve the appearance of turkey neck
- Around the eyes: Gently tightens loose skin on the eyelids
- Abdomen: Firms loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss
- Arms: Addresses the “bat wing” effect on upper arms
- Thighs and buttocks: Improves skin texture and tightness
- Hands: Rejuvenates the appearance of aging hands
What Results Can I Expect from SkinTyte?
While you might notice your skin feeling firmer right away, the best results usually show up about 3 to 6 months after your last treatment as your body needs time to produce that new collagen. Our experts typically recommend 4 treatments scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart to help you achieve the best results.
Benefits of SkinTyte Laser Treatment include:
- Firmer, tighter-looking skin
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin texture and tone
- A more youthful, refreshed appearance

The SkinTyte Recovery Process
One of the best factors about SkinTyte is that there’s virtually no downtime. Unlike more invasive procedures that require days or weeks of recovery, you can typically return to your normal activities immediately after a SkinTyte session.
After treatment, you might experience:
- Mild redness in the treated area (usually fades within a few hours)
- A slight feeling of warmth in your skin
- Minimal swelling (if any)
These effects are mild and short-lived. Many people even schedule their treatments during lunch breaks and return to work right after!
Can SkinTyte Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Absolutely! SkinTyte plays well with other skin treatments. In fact, combining treatments can often lead to even better results.
Some popular combinations include:
- SkinTyte + BBL (Broadband Light): This combo can address both skin laxity and pigmentation issues.
- SkinTyte + MicroLaser Peel: Combining skin tightening with surface renewal leads to more comprehensive rejuvenation.
- SkinTyte + Dermal Fillers: Tightening the skin while restoring lost volume creates a more youthful appearance.
How to Prepare for Your SkinTyte Treatment
Preparing for SkinTyte is straightforward.
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment
- Don’t use retinoids or other potentially irritating skincare products for a few days before your session
- Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup or lotions.
Maintaining Your SkinTyte Results
While SkinTyte can provide long-lasting improvements, it’s important to maintain your results with good skincare habits:
- Use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV damage
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants
- Follow a consistent skincare routine recommended by your practitioner
- Consider periodic maintenance treatments to prolong your results
