How effective is laser skin tightening for the belly. (Post baby belly pooch)

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon and consider SculpSure. SculpSure is a laser treatment that can melt up to 25% of unwanted belly fat in a simple, comfortable, 25-minute in-office treatment with no recovery time.  



Best wishes,

Without a photo, I can't say for certain what would be best, but there is no substitute for a tummy tuck when you have excess skin. However, a laser and fat reduction can help when you have a relatively small problem. Excess fullness / fat can be treated with CoolSculpt. At Quintessa, we have found that the Halo laser can do a pretty impressive job of tightening the skin of the hands, arms, knees, and the abdomen, so it might help with your condition. Regarding pregnancy, we would want to see your shape and weight be stable prior to any treatment.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SurgeonQuintssa
