SkinTyte Skin Tightening in Houston

If your skin is starting to look less firm and you want to explore a non-surgical option, SkinTyte may be worth considering. SkinTyte uses infrared light to deliver controlled heating designed to improve the appearance of skin laxity.

At True Skin Aesthetics in Houston, we start with an honest discussion about the amount of laxity, the area you want to treat and the level of change you hope to see.

Who this treatment is for and what it addresses

SkinTyte may suit patients with mild laxity who understand that results are generally gradual and more modest than surgical correction. Significant excess skin or a desire for substantial lifting may require a different procedure or a surgical specialist referral. Skin condition and medical history influence candidacy.

What to expect

After your assessment, protective eyewear is provided and the handpiece moves over the treatment area. You will feel deep warmth as the treatment delivers heat. Tell your provider immediately if an area feels uncomfortably hot.

Temporary redness or swelling may occur. Many patients resume usual activities promptly, with individualized instructions for skincare and heat exposure. A series is advised, and visible changes develop over time rather than delivering an immediate surgical-style lift.

The True Skin approach to SkinTyte

Great skin is a process, and every step deserves thoughtful care. At True Skin Aesthetics in Houston, our experienced, award-winning team combines advanced treatment expertise, honest recommendations and personalized planning to help reveal your true skin.

We first assess what is contributing to the changes you see. Skin laxity, volume loss and uneven texture can affect your appearance in different ways, and one device cannot address them all. We take time to understand your concerns and explain whether SkinTyte fits your goals or whether another professional evaluation would better serve you.

We begin with understanding your skin.
Every treatment plan starts with a VISIA skin analysis and an in-depth consultation, including a focused assessment of the areas you want to treat. We discuss your goals, health history, medications, skincare routine and previous treatments, including what has worked and what hasn’t. Your lifestyle, budget, timeframe and upcoming events also help guide our recommendations.

We assess skin quality and the degree of laxity while considering whether volume changes or other factors contribute to your concern. This helps us set realistic expectations before beginning treatment.

We give SkinTyte a clear purpose within your plan.
Once our assessment is complete, we explain the improvement SkinTyte may reasonably offer, the expected treatment experience, investment and timeline. We typically recommend a series of six treatments, with spacing and any additional visits determined by your needs and response. Results develop gradually and vary from person to person.

SkinTyte may also be combined or alternated with BBL or MOXI for appropriate candidates when pigmentation, redness or texture are additional concerns. Your provider will explain the purpose of each treatment and select a sequence that respects your skin’s tolerance and recovery needs.

Our philosophy is to treat to complete: recommend a coordinated course of care, track your response and reassess as your skin progresses.

We prepare your skin before treatment.
Preparation may include targeted home care, barrier support or adjustments to the timing of other procedures. We review sensitivity, recent sun exposure and active products before proceeding. Thoughtful preparation helps us approach treatment more safely and avoid unnecessary irritation.

We track your response and plan maintenance.
You receive detailed post-treatment guidance covering skincare, sun protection and any temporary activity adjustments. Follow-up assessments and standardized photographs help us evaluate changes in the treated area, while repeat VISIA imaging, when appropriate, supports tracking of broader skin concerns. We reassess your progress before recommending further treatments and discuss maintenance based on your response.

From your first assessment through ongoing care, education, transparency and long-term skin health guide every recommendation.
