34 years old, 5’2, 132lbs, BodyTite for inelastic skin? (Photos)

Question

I am 34 years old. 5’2, 132 pounds. I Strength train 3 times a Week. About 2 years ago my skin started changing drastically. My breast sagged, my elbows, my abdomen. I started forming pronounced under eye hollows for which have used fillers and botox without much change. It's so strange because i can pinch my skin and pull it apart from the fat... I was considering bodytite for my abdomen but am concerned i might have cutis laxa? If so, i suppose RF does nothing.. what could be my options?

You may be a candidate for BodyTite but an in person evaluation is needed to know for sure.  This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten skin and remove fat.  Your results can be improved by adding Morpheus8 to address overall skin tone and texture.  If you do have cutis laxa you may not see much change from the procedures. You can visit my website to learn more.  I've also included a video I hope you find helpful.

Thank you for your question! I believe Morpheus, a micro needling treatment would be a great option for you. This will help stimulate collagen and improve skin texture. We usually recommend 3 treatments every 4-6 weeks to start. It is always important to schedule an in person consultation with your trusted provider.

Based on your description and photos, it's possible that the skin changes you're noticing could be due to a variety of factors such as genetics, collagen loss, or hormonal changes. While BodyTite is effective for tightening mild to moderate skin laxity through radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL), if you have a condition like cutis laxa, which involves significant skin laxity due to a genetic issue, RF treatments may not be as effective.
That said, it's crucial to first have a proper diagnosis from a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. If your skin laxity is not caused by a medical condition, BodyTite could still be a viable option to help tighten the skin, particularly in areas like the abdomen. In more severe cases, surgical options such as a tummy tuck or skin excision may be more appropriate.
For your concerns about under-eye hollows and sagging skin, treatments such as Morpheus8, a combination of microneedling with RF, or even ultrasound-based treatments like Ultherapy could provide more noticeable results by targeting both skin laxity and collagen stimulation.
Ultimately, a comprehensive in-person consultation will give you the best guidance on your options.
