Can you use Hyperdilute Radiasse or Radiesse if you're planning on losing more weight?

Question

I've lost weight and have some mild laxity issues on lower stomach and arms but nothing that hangs, I want to lose 30lbs more but I want to tighten those areas. Would it look weird or uneven after the weight loss

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Using Hyperdilute Radiesse or Radiesse to address mild skin laxity can be an effective option for tightening and improving skin texture, especially in areas like the lower stomach and arms. However, if you are planning to lose an additional 30 pounds, it’s important to consider how this might affect your results.

Significant weight loss can lead to further changes in skin laxity and volume, potentially impacting the appearance of treated areas. While Radiesse can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin firmness, the final outcome might vary depending on how your skin adapts to the weight loss.

To achieve the best results, you might consider waiting until you are closer to your target weight before undergoing treatment. This approach allows your provider to better assess the degree of laxity and customize the treatment to your needs at that time. Additionally, maintaining a stable weight post-treatment can help preserve the results.

In summary:
Radiesse can be beneficial for skin tightening, but if you plan to lose more weight, it might be wise to wait until you are near your goal to ensure optimal and lasting results. Consulting with a qualified provider can help you develop a treatment plan that aligns with your weight loss journey and aesthetic goals.

Hello,
Hyper-diluted Radiesse can improve skin quality and diminish signs of skin laxity. The mechanism of the product is that it promotes collagen building, three types of collagen, which helps to add volume and strengthen the integrity of the skin. Another treatment option that works great for weight loss patients would be a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment called Morpheus8 Body. It uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency to aid in lifting and tightening the skin. A series of a minimum of three treatments is typically needed to see your best results. It would benefit you to start treatments now while you are actively losing weight.

Radiesse he’s not going to help you in terms of tightening tissue after weight loss. What makes tissues lose is the stretched connective tissue bands between the skin and the muscle creating a jiggle effect. The only way to correct this issue is with tissue tightening technology, such as Renuvion. Renuvion energy contract, those connective tissue bands, pulling the skin closer to the muscle. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman, M. D. organic Plastic Surgery.
