After the second large baby, I have a minimal amount of loose skin on my abdomen, no stretch marks. I am very self-conscious of it as I have always had a toned abdomen and I miss wearing two piece bathing suits. I eat a balanced, nutrition packed diet and exercise regularly -- running/spinning. Sometimes when I exercise a lot, it looks better. Can a laser fix this? If so, what kind? A tummy tuck will probably not be something I will consider but I would like to hear from the experts. Thank you.
