What is SkinTyte in Rochester?
SkinTyte uses the latest infrared light energy and advanced skin cooling technology to deliver heat deep below the skin’s surface to increase tissue tightening and reduce skin laxity. The broad band light (BBL) treatment heats the body’s dermal collagen to cause it to contract and to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, resulting a renewed collagen base in the skin. The heat triggers collagen production, which is the body’s natural growth factor. We use SkinTyte in Rochester to deliver the perfect combination of heat and keeping the surface cool and refreshed. This produces a smooth look and feel that will help you look years younger!
The SkinTyte Process
The Consultation
Your certified aesthetician at Envision Aesthetics will discuss your personal goals with you to create the best skin tightening treatment plan for you with SkinTyte in Rochester.
Deliver Light Pulses
The SkinTyte BBL energy is delivered in a sequence of rapid, gentle pulses. A series of pulses will be repeated over the treatment area to ensure best results and deeply stimulate collagen production.
Create New Collagen
The heat initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation, leading to increased skin firmness. After a series of treatments, patients notice firmer, tighter skin after 3-6 months.
Where does loose skin come from?
When it comes to loose and saggy skin, the source can come from a variety of factors. Fortunately, SkinTyte in Rochester can fix sagging skin, laxity, loose skin, loss of elasticity, and fine lines & wrinkles—regardless of what caused those issues. Here are a few factors that influence skin tightness.
Age
As we get older, our skin starts to sag and the elasticity begins to fade. This happens to everyone as the years pass.
Diet & Exercise
Diet & exercise are great to stay fit and healthy. But if you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, you may notice loose skin and that your face doesn’t look as young as it did before.
Genetics
It’s probably not what you want to hear, but how much loose skin and other signs of aging you have depends on genetics. Your genetics also play a part in how soon issues such as sagging skin and skin laxity occur.
The natural skin-healing process
The best part of SkinTyte in Rochester is that it boosts the skin’s natural healing process. Heat from the broadband light treatment penetrates the skin and triggers collagen production. Collagen is the framework for our skin and keeps us looking young and fresh!
When your skin is forced to heal itself, collagen production goes into overdrive, giving you your face a smoother and tighter look. The skin-healing process works in four phases:
Phase 1: Hemostasis Phase
Hemostasis is the first phase that begins right when an injury occurs. The whole purpose is to quickly stop any bleeding from the wound. During this phase, blood cells clump together and clot to stop any further bleeding.
Phase 2: Defensive/Inflammatory Phase
The defensive/inflammatory phase is all about protecting your body from bacteria and debris that could infiltrate the wound. White blood cells becomes the protector and oversees the repair process. They also produce growth factors to aid with the wound repair.
Phase 3: Proliferative Phase
Once the wound is cleaned, the proliferative phase begins. Blood cells arrive to build fresh, new tissue that lacks any of the damage your skin once had. Chemical signals trigger cells to produce collagen, which acts as a framework for the new skin. Depending on the size of the wound, this phase can last anywhere between four and 24 days.
Phase 4: Maturation Phase
During the maturation phase, collagen fibers reorganize as the tissue matures and strengthens. The skin becomes smoother and healthier than it was before the trauma. After your SkinTyte in Rochester, New York procedure, you’ll start noticing tighter skin almost right away and will continue to reap amazing benefits as the skin passes through the maturation phase.
How collagen affects aging skin
Many of our clients ask us about the importance of collagen. Some try products such as lotions and creams that have collagen infused in them. Unfortunately, the collagen molecules in those products are too big to penetrate the skin.
Collagen makes up the structure of the skin. Simply speaking, it’s the framework that keeps everything together, and it is in charge of giving the skin firmness.
Collagen fibers are plentiful when you’re younger, but as you start to age, sun damage and other factors break down those fibers. In addition, long-term sun exposure degrades the integrity of our skin.
That’s what makes SkinTyte in Rochester so successful. By penetrating the damaged layer of skin, the treatment can promote collagen growth to rebuild the structure of your skin.

Before the treatment
Before your SkinTyte appointment at our Rochester medical spa, you will meet with one of our skin-tightening specialists at Envision Aesthetics for a free one-hour consultation.

During your SkinTyte treatment, our trained specialist will penetrate your skin using quick pulses of broad band light energy. You won’t need a topical anesthetic, but for more sensitive areas, our specialist may choose to apply one in case.
As your skin heats, a powerful cooling mechanism maintains the outer layer of the skin keeping you comfortable and at ease. The infrared energy promotes collagen production, giving you a new foundation for tighter, younger-looking skin.
Depending on the client, an appointment for SkinTyte in Rochester can take between 30 to 40 minutes.
