What Is SkinTyte?
A Non-Surgical Treatment for the Appearance of Lax Skin
SkinTyte is a non-invasive light-based treatment designed to improve the appearance of loose, lax, or crepey skin. It uses infrared light energy to gently heat the skin and support collagen remodeling over time.
Collagen is one of the key support structures that helps skin look firm, smooth, and youthful. As collagen decreases with age, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors, the skin can begin to sag or lose elasticity.
SkinTyte helps improve the appearance of skin laxity without surgery, needles, or extended downtime. It is often used for patients who want subtle tightening and firmness improvement while still looking natural.
What It Treats
What Concerns Can SkinTyte Help Improve?
SkinTyte is designed for patients who want to improve visible laxity and early looseness without surgery. It may be used alone or as part of a larger Lumina skin rejuvenation plan.
Skin Laxity
SkinTyte helps improve the appearance of loose or lax skin on the face, neck, and body.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By supporting collagen renewal, SkinTyte may help soften the appearance of fine lines and mild wrinkles.
Loss of Elasticity
Skin that looks less firm or springy may benefit from a series of SkinTyte treatments.
Sagging Skin
For mild to moderate sagging, SkinTyte can help improve visible skin firmness without surgery.
Crepey Texture
Thin, crepey-looking skin on the neck, chest, arms, or abdomen may be improved with the right treatment plan.
Post-Weight Loss Skin Changes
SkinTyte may be part of a body contouring plan for patients who notice mild laxity after weight changes.
Treatment Areas
SkinTyte Can Treat the Face, Neck, and Body
Skin laxity can appear in different areas for different patients. Lumina will recommend a treatment plan based on your goals, skin quality, and the areas you want to improve.
How It Works
The Science Behind SkinTyte
SkinTyte uses advanced infrared light technology to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. This controlled heating process supports collagen activity, which can improve the appearance of firmness and skin tightness over time.
During treatment, the provider passes the handpiece over the treatment area in a series of passes. The goal is to deliver effective heat below the surface while maintaining safe surface temperature and patient comfort.
Results are gradual because collagen remodeling takes time. Many patients notice improvement in the months following their treatment series.
The Lumina Difference
Physician-Led Skin Tightening, Not Guesswork
Skin tightening depends on more than turning on a device. Your provider needs to understand skin quality, laxity, collagen loss, treatment depth, treatment area, and whether SkinTyte should be combined with other options.
At Lumina, Dr. Lina Vargas and the clinical team use advanced Sciton technology with a personalized treatment strategy. The goal is natural-looking improvement that supports the way you want to look and feel.
SkinTyte may be recommended alone or as part of a larger plan that includes BBL HEROic, MOXI, HALO, injectables, body treatments, or medical-grade skincare.

Combination Care
Skin Tightening Often Works Best with a Complete Skin Plan

MOXI or HALO
Laser resurfacing treatments may be recommended when texture, tone, or deeper skin renewal is also needed.
Injectables
For facial aging, Botox, Dysport, or fillers may be used to address lines, movement, or volume changes.
