Hi everyone! So I am 26 years old, healthy female who lost about 15 pounds in about 3 months last year. I love how I am feeling but unfortunately my skin didn’t retract back like it used to . I don’t feel ready to have a surgery so I’m looking for a non surgical tightening to help my tummy! I know it won’t be perfect- just want some improvement!
Answer: Don’t do surgery The best option to augment just the little bit you would benefit from would be an internal heating device that would help tighten the skin internally and possible consider microneedling of the skin to improve collagen at deep dermis. I would highly recommend renuvion with a very small amount of lipo. This will likely give you a 30-40% improvement in the quality of your upper abdominal skin.

Answer: Overall Minimal, Try Moderately/Minimally Invasive Overall your excess in skin in minimal, it is just in a tough area (what we call supraumbilical or epigastric area). You can try noninvasive devices such as radiofrequency, however you are likely to have more success with BodyTite or other moderately invasive procedures as these apply energy directly to the skin to provide skin tightening.

Answer: Skintightening There’s unfortunately no powerful noninvasive skin tightener, but there is a category of technologies that does actually work. Micro needling radio frequency devices only true noninvasive skin tighteners. Likely the most powerful in the body is the Morpheus8 device by Inmode. There are several other good micro, needling RF devices, but the M8 goes 8 mm deep and has been to tried and true technology for the last few years. All other categories of devices are honestly honestly junk for skin tightening.

Answer: Mild Skin Laxity There are a couple of nonsurgical options for you to consider to address mild skin laxity. BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure using RF technology to tighten skin is one option. No general anesthesia is required. Another option is Morpheus8. This treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. Three treatment sessions are typically recommended for optimal results. A third to consider is Evolve Tite. You can learn more about these options by visiting my website or from a provider near you.

Answer: Morpheus8 can help tighten and give you a more defined look. 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
