SkinTyte / SkinSmooth
SkinTyte / SkinSmooth in Ann Arbor, MI firms lax skin and smooths the surface using gentle infrared light, with no surgery and no real downtime. CosMedic LaserMD offers these Sciton treatments as physician-led care, planned and overseen by Dr. Deepa Macha, MD.
This is subtle reclamation of firmness, not a dramatic change. Pulses of light warm the deeper layers of skin to encourage your own collagen to tighten over time, so you look more rested rather than reworked.
Book your SkinTyte / SkinSmooth consultation in Ann Arbor to see whether non-surgical tightening fits your goals.
What SkinTyte / SkinSmooth Treats
SkinTyte / SkinSmooth uses near-infrared light to heat the deeper layers of the skin in a controlled way, prompting collagen to contract and remodel while a cooling system keeps the surface comfortable.
Concerns it addresses
- Early to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, and jawline
- Looser skin on the abdomen, arms, or knees
- Soft crepiness and a loss of firmness
- Skin that has begun to lose definition along the contour
SkinTyte / SkinSmooth firms and smooths gradually. When laxity is significant or paired with substantial volume loss, your provider may combine it with other treatments or recommend a different approach, because matching the tool to the degree of laxity is part of physician-led care.
How SkinTyte / SkinSmooth Works
Assess the laxity
Your provider evaluates where firmness has softened and confirms that non-surgical tightening is a realistic fit for your goals.
Deliver infrared light
The device sends pulses of near-infrared light into the dermis, where the energy gently raises tissue temperature to the range that signals collagen to contract.
Protect the surface
Built-in cooling keeps the top layer of skin comfortable throughout, so the heat works deep while the surface stays calm.
Remodel over time
In the weeks and months that follow, the heated collagen contracts and your skin rebuilds, firming and smoothing gradually rather than all at once.
Benefits of SkinTyte / SkinSmooth
Firmer skin without surgery
SkinTyte / SkinSmooth tightens early laxity without incisions or anesthesia, making it a gentle option for patients not ready for surgical lifting.
Comfortable, surface-sparing treatment
Because CosMedic LaserMD pairs the infrared energy with active cooling, the treatment stays comfortable while the heat works in the deeper layers.
Natural, gradual results
The change builds over weeks as your own collagen remodels, so firming looks earned and natural rather than sudden.
Versatile across the body
Your provider can treat the face, neck, and a range of body areas, tailoring the plan to where you most want to reclaim firmness.
Is SkinTyte / SkinSmooth Right for You?
You may be a strong candidate if you have early to moderate laxity and want gradual, natural firming without downtime or surgery. SkinTyte / SkinSmooth suits patients who prefer to address softening firmness before it advances.
A consultation confirms fit. If your laxity is significant, your provider may discuss combining treatments or a different path, and you will receive an honest assessment of what a non-surgical approach can and cannot achieve for your skin.
SkinTyte / SkinSmooth and Skin of Color
Infrared tightening is generally well tolerated across the full range of skin tones, because it relies on deep, controlled heat rather than light that targets surface pigment, which lowers the risk of post-inflammatory changes in richer skin.
CosMedic LaserMD still approaches every plan individually. Specialized expertise in skin of color guides how energy levels and cooling are set, since even a pigment-sparing device deserves a plan built for your skin biology and any keloid history.
If a different treatment would better serve your firmness goals in skin of color, you will hear an honest "no" and a better recommendation.
Preparing for and Recovering from SkinTyte / SkinSmooth
Before treatment, avoid significant sun exposure and arrive with clean, product-free skin so the device can work evenly. Your provider will review any medications or conditions that affect timing.
Afterward, the treated area may feel warm and look slightly flushed for a short while, similar to time in the sun. Keep skin hydrated, avoid intense heat and strenuous workouts for the rest of the day, and use daily broad-spectrum SPF.
Your provider reviews complete, treatment-specific instructions at your appointment.
