SkinTyte™, the Sciton Laser BBL pulsed light is the fastest laser available to treat skin laxity

March 24, 2008 - PRLog -- DENVER, CO - In his practice in Englewood, CO, a suburb of Denver, CO, Ben Lee, MD, MBA hears from new patients that one of the most distressing aspects of aging is the fact that their skin develops fine lines, wrinkles and even jowling at the chin—all dead giveaways that youth is fast diminishing. Increasingly, Dr. Lee, double-board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery (he’s also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons), hears from these patients that they’re short on time when it comes to waging battle against the natural aging process.

That’s one of the reasons he introduced the Sciton BBL pulsed light laser with the SkinTyte Accessory into his practice. Now, in a matter of one treatment, patients are witnessing their loose skin tighten right before their eyes. The infrared thermal heat in the SkinTyte wand stimulates college to reproduce, tightening and reshaping one’s skin to its more youthful look, plus reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

After three to four recommended treatments, patients are seeing dramatic results.

SkinTyte, explains Dr. Lee, can be used to treat a variety of body parts including the face, neck, hands, upper chest, and even the abdomen and arms. The integral thermo-electric cooler in the SkinTyte accessory reduces the discomfort of previous generation lasers.

Because it selectively treats areas of the skin, the improvement is more noticeable and the treatment—non-invasive so there’s no downtime or recovery time—is safe and more effective than ever before.

This ground breaking technology improves the appearance of sun-damaged and aged skin as well as decreases patches of facial and neck redness and flushing, resulting in much younger looking skin after treatment. Many women are opting for SkinTyte treatment to tighten the skin on their necks without surgery, an area of concern for women who begin to feel that their days of wearing anything but a turtleneck are over!

The SkinTyte treatment stimulates the body's natural healing process which generates a renewed firmer collagen base that leads to skin tightening.

Prior to treatment, any make-up, ointments and creams must be removed and the patient dons protective goggles or adhesive eye patches. A numbing ointment is applied to the skin for added comfort. A series of pulsed infrared light is then administered in rows or sections. Most parts of the body require between three and five one-hour treatments at intervals of three to four weeks.

SkinTyte can also help to diminish mild acne scars and reduces the pores on the skin. After the original series of treatments, periodic maintenance treatments are recommended and vary depending on the area treated.

Often Dr. Lee recommends the SkinTyte procedure be combined with other treatments for greater effect, like microdermabrasion or peels or in combination with BOTOX injections or other fillers. http://www.drbenlee.com/injectable_procedures.html
