Laser Skin Tightening After Weight Loss

It is not just that you have some extra skin. You have stretchmarks that extend up past the belly button. This is damaged skin with torn elastin fibers much like an old elastic band that no longer shrinks back after pulling and has multiple cracks in it your skin will not shrink bank. It does not matter what laser or radiofrequency you throw at it. The damage to the deeper layers visible as stretchmarks will prevent it from shrinking.

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.

Lasers are touted for tightening but they dont seem to work very well. Looks like a tummy tuck would be great.
