Venus Legacy for abdominal skin tightening? (photos)

Question

I practice Hot Yoga 3-5 days/ week and HIIT 2 days/ week. I am a 40 year old mom of 3 boys! I want to tighten the abdominal skin (not drastically, just enough to feel comfortable in a bathing suit.) Is the “Venus Legacy” something that will help with tightening this area? (Austin, Tx) Thanks!

Yes, venus legacy can tighten the skin, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement. With non-surgical treatments, skin tightening can be done with a combination of venus legacy combined with vanquish, exilis, and celllutone/Zwave.  However, for best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like a VASER liposuction revision, which can be performed at the same time as a tummy tuck, if you're a candidate. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result.  I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Venus Legacy is meant for collagen formation and skin tightening.

If pockets of excess fat, then Cutera Trusculpt ID is a better choice.

Based on photos, the Venus Legacy is a good choice.

With either therapy, you can resume normal activities immediately after therapy.  You may be sweaty after therapy as it is generating heat.

Venus Legacy using RF technology is a great treatment for skin tightening especially for your abdomen. The procedure is done in a series of 6-8 sessions. It is very well tolerated and there is no downtime.
Good luck.
