Skin Tightening in Columbus

Short answer—no. While there are a lot of at-home infrared light devices out there, they don’t use medical-grade infrared light like SkinTyte does. Without enough power, infrared light rays can’t penetrate your skin’s surface, much less trigger lasting changes in your skin’s deeper layers.

Our skin specialists understand the science behind infrared technology, strategically adjusting the SkinTyte device’s settings to help your skin rebuild, firming it from the inside out. People trust Blush Aesthetics for skin tightening in Columbus because it works, without leaving them looking “frozen.”

At Blush Aesthetics, we offer a variety of skin-tightening technologies that are all backed by science. While we use both infrared (IR) and radiofrequency (RF) energy, they work differently. 

Infrared energy, which powers SkinTyte technology, reaches beneath your skin’s surface to gently raise your skin’s internal temperature. This heat boosts collagen and elastin production without damaging your skin’s surface layers.

Radiofrequency treatments, like RF microneedling, use electromagnetic waves to deliver RF energy, dispersing the thermal energy across a broader area. RF microneedling creates microscopic wounds on your skin’s surface to trigger your body’s healing response, minimizing the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation, and skin laxity—but it requires some downtime.

Both approaches are effective, but infrared technology works deeper, so it may be more effective for deeper-rooted skin laxity. We’ll help you decide which approach aligns with your needs and goals during your consultation, so don’t worry about figuring it all out on your own!

Yes! SkinTyte is a “skin remodeling” treatment, not a “skin resurfacing” treatment. Skin remodeling is a category of treatments that work in your skin’s deeper layers, boosting collagen production to remodel your skin’s internal framework, making it ideal for skin tightening. In Columbus, Blush also offers a variety of skin resurfacing treatments that focus on surface-level damage, including laser resurfacing.

SkinTyte is safe and effective for most people looking to achieve firmer, more youthful skin. Unlike many other light therapies, SkinTyte doesn’t target the melanin in your skin, so it’s appropriate for individuals with lighter and darker skin tones alike.

If you’re not sure whether SkinTyte is your best option, don’t stress! Our skin specialists will help you weigh all of your options during your consultation and craft a plan that aligns with your goals, budget, and timeline.

Most people notice their skin appears more “lifted” just a few weeks after their first treatment! However, it’s important to remember that SkinTyte works by rebuilding your skin, so it offers gradual results.

Typically, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments to achieve the best results, depending on your starting point and end goal. As your skin continues to rebuild and increase its collagen and elastin supply, you’ll notice results after every session. You can expect to see your final results within 2 to 4 months of your last treatment.

SkinTyte firms your skin by strengthening your skin’s internal framework, offering results that last up to 12 months. After you complete your treatment plan for skin tightening in Columbus, your provider will help you craft a maintenance plan to keep your skin strong.

That being said, nothing can stop the aging process. Collagen proteins inevitably break down over time—and even faster when you smoke and expose your skin to the sun. That’s why working with a professional even after your final SkinTyte treatment is so important, as we’ll help you navigate your skin’s changes as your body and habits change.
