Post twin pregnancy I have many tiny, fine, faint stretch marks of the upper abdomen with some skin laxity in that region and periumbilically. Flat abdomen and BMI of 21.5. Would I benefit from some of the newer radio frequency skin-tightening treatments, such as the Apollo TriPollar, or would this be a waste of money? (note lower marks on abdomen are impressions from my pants).
Answer: Radio frequency treatments for loose abdominal skin or Tummy tuck? There

Answer: Which would you recommend? Hi Hands and Feet,I think that you would be better served with a mini-tummy tuck and some liposuction , rather than the radiofrequency treatments. Unfortunately, I do not think that the radiofrequenncy treatments last for a long period of time and most people are disappointed that they have spent a lot of money for a very temporary result.A mini-tummy tuck with some lipo can give a longer lasting result, even though there are more scars involved.The abdominal muscles can be tightened and an overall smoother look to the abdomen can be achieved in the right hands.Hope this helps.Best,Cr. Rodgers

Answer: Which would you recommend; Radio frequency treatments for loose abdominal skin or Tummy tuck? RF will give you some improvement as long as you are well hydrated prior to the treatments. The only real downside to RF is lack of effectiveness. Skin tightening from RF may take 4 to 6 months after the treatments have ended and you will need to repeat the treatments every 6 months to maintain optimal results.

Answer: TT or Radiofrequency? Given that you have minimal skin laxity with very little excess fat, I believe you would be a great candidate for noninvasive abdominal contouring. I prefer RF treatments with the Venus Legacy but any multipolar RF machine should be able to provide you with skin tightening given you undergo the full treatment course. Good luck!

Answer: Tummy tuck? We have seen great success in treating stretch marks with radio frequency in our office. I would recommend trying that, if you don't see improvement then you may consider a mini tummy tuck.
