Gentle infrared firming, zero downtime.
BBL SkinTyte delivers infrared light that safely heats the deeper layers of the skin. That controlled warmth contracts existing collagen and triggers new collagen over time, gradually firming and tightening lax skin.
Because it works without breaking the surface, SkinTyte has no downtime, you return to your day right away. It is a comfortable, build-up treatment, best in a short series and great alongside resurfacing lasers.
