Sciton ST Skin Tightening

Infrared skin tightening with no downtime — for face, neck, and body.

About Sciton ST Skin Tightening

Sciton ST uses infrared light and cooling technology to heat the dermis and tighten lax skin with no downtime. It is commonly used on the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and body to address early laxity and loss of firmness.

How It Works

  1. 01

    Cooling Setup

    Surface cooling is activated through the handpiece to protect the epidermis throughout treatment.

  2. 02

    Infrared Heating

    Sciton ST delivers controlled infrared energy below the surface to the dermis, triggering immediate collagen contraction and long-term remodeling.

  3. 03

    Progressive Tightening

    Visible firming begins within weeks; results continue building for 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds. Series of 4 sessions provides full results.

What to Expect

  • 20- to 45-minute session depending on areas
  • Warm ‘heating pad’ sensation, no pain or discomfort
  • Zero downtime — same-day activity, exercise, and skincare
  • Series of 4 treatments at 4-week intervals advised for full results
  • Continued improvement for 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Sciton ST different from Thermage?

Both deliver heat to tighten skin. Sciton ST uses infrared light combined with advanced skin cooling, which most patients find more comfortable than Thermage’s monopolar RF. Sciton ST also requires a series of 4 sessions versus Thermage’s typical single treatment, but offers more progressive, controlled improvement.

Is Sciton ST painful?

No. The combination of infrared energy and active surface cooling makes treatment comfortable — most patients describe it as a warm heating pad sensation.

How many treatments do I need?

A series of 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is advised for full results. Some patients see improvement after a single session, but the series provides compounding benefit.

When will I see Sciton ST results?

Initial firming is often visible within weeks. Significant tightening continues to build for 3 to 6 months as collagen rebuilds.

Is there downtime?

None. Most patients return to work, exercise, and normal skincare immediately after treatment.

Can Sciton ST be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It’s often combined with Forever Young BBL (which uses BBL plus SkinTyte/Sciton ST in one session) or paired with Sofwave for more advanced laxity.

How long do results last?

Results typically last 12 to 18 months. Most patients return for an annual maintenance session to preserve the firming effect.
