Non Surgical Skin Tightening for the Tummy?

F
funnygirl509Nov 13, 2008

I am a mother of 4 children. I had my first child at the age of 16. I was told that because of my young age my skin stretched a lot, hence all the stretch marks. Ever since I have had a lot of loose skin in that area is there anything that I can do to tighten it without surgery???

Yes, you can go back immediately to your daily routine after Thermage done on your body as long as you feel like it. There is no medical reason for you to avoid any activities. That is one of the pluses with Thermage, there is no downtime.
