Remember this biologic truth: you can't shrink skin (at least significantly).  It is true that with thermal treatment (laser, ultrasound) that collagen can be shrunk a little-a very little.  If excess skin is a component of an aesthetic problem, then it must be surgically removed.  After pregnancy, this is called an abdominoplasty.  There are variations depending on the specifics.  Don't get sold some ineffectual treatment.
