I am skinny/fit with slight loose skin (when I bend) from birthing 2 babies. It is simply not enough damage to undergo the knife. Can Ultherapy treatments offer the skin tightening I need? Approximately how "many" would I need and the cost of each?
Answer: Ultherapy for Loose Abdominal Skin Thanks for your question Gems. Ultherapy can be used to treat loose abdominal skin. However, this is an "off-label" treatment. Candidate selection is crucial as is the acceptance of the fact that multiple treatments will be required to achieve adequate results. This can end up being costly for some people, but it remains an option for those who absolutely do not want to have surgery. It is important to get a consultation from a surgeon who can determine whether Ultherapy would be an option for you or if you would be better off with a tummy tuck. Hope this helps answer your question!

Answer: Ultherapy and Stomach Ultherapy can be used on the stomach but honestly it is not that effective and will not give you the results you are looking for. You want a consult with someone who does both surgical and nonsurgical procedures to give you the best opinion on treatment. You may be able to do something like ultrashap and velashape without any surgery. An in person consultation is needed. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Ultherapy for a loose abdomen Although ultherapy's FDA indications are for treatment of the face, neck and chest, it is commonly used to tighten skin elsewhere on the body including the abdomen. Another option to tighten this area is Thermage. Finally if the issue is 'crepey' skin (texture and feel of crepe paper), several treatments with the Fraxel laser may improve your results. Any of these three treatments can be boosted by injections of a biostimulatory filler like Sculptra or Radiesse to improve the skin quality and tone. The key is a good evaluation from a physician who understands the parameters of what each noninvasive treatment can achieve so you can be given realistic expectations. Neither of these noninvasive procedures will give you the equivalent results to a surgical tummy tuck, so you may want to have a consult for that procedure first just to confirm that you are not a surgical candidate. Finally remember that deep radiofrequency and ultrasound procedures should not be done over a hernia. Be sure that either your obstetrician or dermatologist evaluate you to rule out a hernia of the abdominal wall or umbilicus (belly button).I hope this answer helps. Best wishes.
