is this loose, crepey skin or fat? Treatment options? (photo)

Question

This picture is of my upper leg. I’m noticing though it’s happening everywhere. I’ve lost muscle since I’ve stopped lifting weights. I’m considered skinny fat. I’m wondering if this is reversible or permanent. Or if I can get a treatment done to help it.

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.

this needs long term RF treatments, scuptra and morpheus deep microneedling RF. this is aging that occurs just like it does on the face. you need skincare such as emeragecosmetics vivatia and isdin body lotion to build collagen. get a full comprehensive plan.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. From your question we can advise here but nothing would compare to a face to face consultation in clinic for an accurate plan of what would work best. From the photos you have posted radiofrequency plus body sculpting technology like emsculpt would be a good option to lift and tighten. Hope this helps, Best wishes
