Firming for skin that has started to loosen, without surgery and without downtime. Face, neck, and body at our Lake Nona med spa, serving Orlando.
There is a particular moment people describe. Not new wrinkles exactly, but the jawline softening. The skin along the neck sitting differently than it used to. A photograph taken from below that looks less like you than it should.
That is laxity, and it is a structural change rather than a surface one. Which is why the treatments that work beautifully on tone and texture do very little for it, and why people often try two or three of them before working out that they were solving the wrong problem.
It also sits in an awkward gap. Too early for surgery, too structural for skincare. SkinTyte is built for that gap.
Not sure whether what’s bothering you is laxity or something else? That’s what the consultation is for. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
SkinTyte uses infrared light delivered in rapid pulses, heating the dermis while the surface of the skin stays cool and intact. Nothing is removed and nothing is broken.
That heat causes existing collagen fibres to contract, which produces some immediate tightening, and it triggers the body to lay down new collagen over the following months, which produces the lasting change. The result builds gradually rather than appearing overnight.
Being non-ablative is the entire trade. There is no shedding phase and no recovery to plan for, so you can have it on a lunch break. In exchange, the change is a firming rather than a lift, and it will not do what surgery does. Anyone telling you a light-based treatment replaces a facelift is overselling it.
Where softening usually shows first and bothers people most. Definition along the jaw is the single most requested area.
Often ahead of the face in showing age, and frequently neglected in skincare routines. Responds well and is easy to treat alongside the face.
Crepiness and loosening on the chest, usually alongside sun damage. Commonly treated in the same visit as resurfacing.
Laxity on the abdomen, often after pregnancy or weight change. Realistic expectations matter here more than anywhere, and we will set them honestly.
Crepey skin on the upper arms and above the knees, where the change is textural as much as structural.
SkinTyte treats laxity. If your concern is surface quality, tone, or texture, laser resurfacing is the better tool, and the two are frequently planned together because they address different layers.
Skin tightening is a crowded category and not every device in it earns its place. Three things make this one worth having.
Energy arrives as a rapid sequence of low-fluence pulses rather than one strong one. The dermis heats steadily instead of abruptly, which is what keeps it comfortable enough to skip anaesthetic.
A sapphire cooling plate stays in contact with the skin throughout, protecting the surface while the heat works underneath. This is what makes a no-downtime treatment possible.
Nothing is ablated and the skin surface is never broken. You can have a session and return to work, the gym, or an evening out the same day.
SkinTyte is performed by a licensed provider who selects settings based on your skin type and the area treated. Results build over months and vary between individuals. At your consultation you get an honest assessment, including whether the degree of laxity you have is beyond what a non-surgical treatment can address.
Four steps, start to finish. We’ll talk you through each one as we go.
We assess the degree of laxity and where it actually sits. This is also where we tell you if what you have is beyond what a non-surgical treatment will meaningfully change.
Minimal. The area is cleansed, you wear protective eyewear, and gel is applied. No numbing is usually needed, which is unusual for a treatment working at this depth.
The handpiece passes repeatedly over the area, building heat gradually. You feel warmth that intensifies and then eases. Face and neck typically take 30 to 45 minutes.
Mild warmth and pinkness for an hour or two, then nothing. Some immediate tightening from collagen contraction, with the real change building across the series and for months afterwards.

SkinTyte is priced per session and by area. The neck and jawline cost less than a full face, and body areas such as the abdomen or upper arms are priced separately again.
It works as a series rather than a single visit, typically three to five sessions spaced a few weeks apart, so we price in packages. That structure suits the treatment, because the collagen response is cumulative.
At your consultation you get a written plan naming the areas, the number of sessions, and the full cost before you commit to anything. If we think the laxity you have is past what SkinTyte can meaningfully change, we will tell you that instead of selling you a package.
A calm, private space in Lake Nona, not a clinic that feels like a waiting room. You will be looked after by the same small team each visit.
Effectively none, and this is the main reason people choose it. The skin surface is never broken, so there is no peeling or shedding phase. Expect mild warmth and pinkness for an hour or two afterwards, similar to having been outdoors. Most people go straight back to work or to the gym. You can wear makeup the same day.
It is warm rather than sharp. The handpiece builds heat gradually with a cooled plate against your skin throughout, so the sensation intensifies and then eases as it moves on. Most people describe it as a hot stone massage. No numbing is usually needed, which is unusual for a treatment working at this depth.
Typically three to five, spaced a few weeks apart. This is a cumulative treatment rather than a single event, because each session adds to the collagen response. Many people then have a maintenance session once or twice a year to hold the result.
Some tightening is noticeable straight away from collagen fibres contracting, but that is the smaller part and it settles. The real change comes from new collagen, which builds over three to six months. Judging your result after one session means judging it far too early. This treatment rewards patience, which is worth knowing before you start.
No, and we would rather be direct about that than let you find out later. Surgery repositions tissue and removes excess skin. SkinTyte firms the skin you have. For mild to moderate laxity that is often exactly what someone wants, and it avoids surgery entirely. For significant sagging it will not deliver what you are picturing, and in that case we will tell you and suggest you speak to a surgeon rather than take your money.
Different mechanisms reaching a similar goal. SkinTyte uses infrared light to bulk-heat the dermis with no downtime at all. RF microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries and delivers radiofrequency energy at depth, which is more aggressive, involves a day or two of recovery, and generally produces a stronger response. SkinTyte suits people who want gradual firming with zero interruption. RF microneedling suits people who want more change and can accept some downtime. We offer both and will tell you which fits.
Generally yes, and it is one of the safer options in this category for deeper skin tones because it is non-ablative and does not break the skin surface. Settings are still selected for your skin type rather than applied uniformly, and your skin is assessed at consultation before anything is booked.
The collagen you build is real and lasts, but it does not stop the ageing that caused the laxity in the first place. Most people hold their result for a year or more and then maintain with occasional sessions. Sun protection makes a genuine difference here, since UV exposure breaks down collagen faster than anything else you can control.
Didn’t see your question here? Just ask us. Nothing is too basic and we would rather you booked knowing exactly what to expect.
Treatments that work on different layers to SkinTyte, and are frequently planned alongside it.
There’s nothing to decide today. Come in, tell us what’s been bothering you, and we’ll tell you honestly whether SkinTyte will change it.
Your sessions are performed by a licensed medical aesthetician, not a technician trained over a weekend.
If your laxity is past what light-based tightening can change, we will say so rather than sell you a series that disappoints.
