What Makes SkinTyte Different from Other Treatments?

As your skin begins to lose elasticity, you may start noticing mild sagging along the jawline, neck, or other areas of the body. While surgical procedures remain the most effective solution for significant skin laxity, non-surgical treatments can help improve early changes in skin firmness. 

At The Art of Plastic Surgery in Chicago, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Wiener and his experienced aesthetic team offer SkinTyte as a non-invasive treatment that supports collagen production and gradually tightens the skin. 

How SkinTyte Works

SkinTyte uses infrared light energy to gently heat the deeper layers of your skin while protecting the surface with advanced cooling technology. This controlled heating stimulates collagen remodeling within the dermis, the layer responsible for skin structure and firmness. As your body responds to this stimulation, new collagen forms over time. This gradually improves the elasticity and texture of your skin.

How SkinTyte Compares to Other Skin Tightening Treatments

Several technologies are used today to address mild skin laxity, including radiofrequency devices, microneedling treatments, and laser-based procedures. Each approach works differently. Radiofrequency treatments heat tissue using electrical energy, while microneedling devices create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production.

SkinTyte uses light-based energy to deliver controlled heat beneath the skin’s surface without breaking the skin barrier. Because the treatment does not involve needles or incisions, many patients appreciate that it fits easily into their schedules with minimal disruption to daily activities.

If you are experiencing early skin laxity rather than significant skin sagging, SkinTyte may be an option to support collagen production and improve skin tone. More advanced laxity, however, may require different treatments or surgical procedures for more noticeable correction.

Areas SkinTyte Can Treat

SkinTyte is commonly used to improve mild laxity in areas where skin firmness begins to change over time. You may consider treatment for the jawline, neck, abdomen, arms, or thighs. Because skin quality and elasticity vary from person to person, your treatment plan may involve a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

During your consultation, Dr. Wiener and his team evaluate your skin and discuss whether SkinTyte may be appropriate as part of your long-term aesthetic plan.
