Hi, yes, there can be significant changes after a pregnancy and vaginal delivery.  I'd say after 3-6 months, you have reached a new set point.  But instead of the traditional surgical laxity repair, there's an in-office collagen tightening procedure. So, after 6 months, if you'd like more tightening, there are options:)

Hi Kayla, There are definitely many options. A few things to maintain youthful skin and slow aging are hydration, sun protection and maintaining the collagen under the surface.  What I like about the Temsure system is that it's a quick and relatively painless way of stimulating collagen and increasing the plumpness and erasing fine lines.  The system also allows attachment of microprobes that can shrink fine vessels on the face as well.

The collagen beneath the skin is the man scaffold that "holds the skin".  There are a few Skin tightening options available which include surgical excision and tightening, chemical peels, laser ablation, radiofrequency stimulatio of collagen and fillers.  They have their advantages and disadvantages in regards to time, cost and level of discomforts.
