SkinTyte NYC

Before your appointment for SkinTyte in NYC, avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week, as sun-exposed skin can unevenly absorb infrared energy. Pause on topical exfoliants and retinoids 3 days before treatment, as abrasive products increase sensitivity to the energy used in SkinTyte.
