SkinTyte II is an exciting part of the BBL HEROic system. Incorporating the cutting-edge technology found in BBL HEROic. SkinTyte II is a fast intense pulsed light non-invasive skin firming treatment that provides dermal heating for the purpose of elevating tissue temperature for firmer skin. This proprietary technology is used to selectively heat the water within the dermal collagen matrix.
Tight, firm skin requires good elasticity. Elasticity means the ability of the skin to snap back or tighten after it has been displaced or pulled away from the body. Good elasticity depends on healthy collagen and elastin fibres that lie very deep, near the bottom of the dermis. Collagen and elastin fibres act like small rubber bands that hold the skin tight against our body, and pull the loose tissue back when it is stretched or pulled.
Aging, sun damage from ultraviolet (UV) light, smoking, stress, excessive alcohol intake and an unhealthy diet, and other lifestyle factors all destroy collagen and elastin in the dermis and cause the skin to loosen. Although it is located beneath the epidermis, it is changes to the dermis that cause the outer skin to wrinkle and lose elasticity. As we grow older, the amount of fat found in our lower layer of skin decreases, our glands produce less oil, and collagen and elastin fibres lose their elasticity. The natural process of cell reproduction in the dermal layer also decreases, resulting in a slower rejuvenation of our skin cells.
SkinTyte II by BBLTM HEROic deposits heat into the dermis. The epidermis is a robust and resilient structure that is at the surface of the skin. It functions as a physical barrier to protect the deeper dermis, and to retain the skin’s hydration. As a result of cooling by the sapphire crystal the highest temperature will occur below the epidermis in the more hydrated dermis. The result is a higher temperature within the dermis. The immediate response to this thermal exposure is a contraction of the collagen and elastin fibres. Longer term, fibroblasts are activated stimulating the production of new collagen, elastin and other components of the extracellular matrix in response to wound healing which takes place up to six months after the initial heating. This tissue remodelling results in a thickening of the dermis and the shrinking of the elastin fibres, resulting in improvement of skin firmness.
