I've had loose skin since I was a teenager that covers my abdomen. Recently started keto diet. Will keto diet in tandem with collagen supplements help get rid of loose skin?
Answer: Another way to help collagen production is by doing morpheus8 and pairing it with PRP 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Collagen and skin tightening Thank you for submitting your question. Unfortunately dieting and supplements will not address the loose skin on your abdomen. You are a good candidate for bodytite of the abdomen. Bodytite is non-surgical body contouring for correcting loose skin. The procedure uses radio frequency-assisted liposuction, known as RFAL. It is an effective treatment option for patients who wish to reduce the appearance of excess fat and/or sagging skin throughout their body. For the best results I would recommend you consult with a Board-certified plastic surgeon for the best results. Best of luck.

Answer: Loose Skin / Stomach Skin Tightening -- VASER HI-DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, Vanquish, truSculpt, Renuvion, BodyTite Unfortunately dieting and supplements will not address the loose skin on your abdomen. And nonsurgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Without a photograph, it's difficult to determine how much skin laxity you have and what the best solution would be.Some skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, and Cellutone/Zwave. However, for best results, a Tummy Tuck procedure can be combined with a high-definition procedure at the same time. For best results, I recommend VASER liposuction with ThermiRF, J Plasma/Renuvion, InMode BodyTite, and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition all at once. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Loose skin Dear boxinglilly,it is unlikely that collagen supplements will have any effect on your loose skin. If you have loose skin on your abdomen, then you might be a candidate for a tummy tuck. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Will collagen supplements help get rid of loose skin ? FWIW, the ketodiet is very controversial and not a diet I would suggest you be on. You will definitely lose weight but it has metabolic side effects that aren't good. It doesn't matter whether you take collagen supplements. It won't help your skin get tight.
