BBL SkinTyte: Non-Surgical Skin Firming with Science-Backed Results

As we age, skin laxity becomes a common concern, especially around the jawline, cheeks, neck, and abdomen. BBL SkinTyte offers a safe, non-invasive solution that uses advanced infrared light technology to stimulate collagen remodeling, resulting in visibly firmer, lifted, and more youthful-looking skin.

What is BBL SkinTyte?

SkinTyte is an advanced treatment platform powered by BroadBand Light (BBL) technology, developed by Sciton. It uses infrared (IR) light energy to deeply heat dermal collagen while maintaining the epidermis at a comfortable temperature using a powerful sapphire contact cooling system.

This controlled thermal injury induces neocollagenesis—the biological process that generates new collagen—which helps tighten loose skin and improve skin elasticity over time.

How It Works (Science Behind the Treatment)

• Targeted infrared light penetrates the dermis and selectively heats collagen-rich tissue.
• Heat triggers a wound-healing cascade, resulting in new collagen and reorganized elastin fibers.
• Cooling technology protects the outer layer of skin, ensuring patient safety and comfort.

A 2009 study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology reported that patients receiving infrared light therapy experienced statistically significant improvements in skin firmness and jawline contour after a series of treatments (Gold et al., 2009).

Additional research in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (2015) supports that BBL-based therapies can reverse signs of skin aging at a genetic level, with increased expression of youthful gene profiles (Chang et al., 2015).

Clinical Indications

BBL SkinTyte is ideal for treating mild to moderate skin laxity in areas such as:

• Lower face and jawline (jowls)
• Neck and décolletage
• Abdomen and inner thighs
• Above the knees
• Arms (bat wings)

It is suitable for most skin types and can be performed year-round.

Benefits You Can Expect

Recommended Protocol

At Skin Pple Clinic, your treatment plan will be tailored to your skin’s needs. Typically:

• 3–6 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart for optimal collagen induction
