What can I do to help crepey skin on stomach? Ultherapy and Emsculpt haven't helped. (photo)

Thank you for your question and pictures. I am not surprised that the treatments you have had have not worked for you. Ultherapy has minimal effect on the body, and EMSculpt is not a skin tightening treatment at all, it builds muscle and reduces fat. If you are looking for a non-surgical option to tighten the loose skin then I would recommend ThermiTight. This treatment goes under the skin to heat the tissue using radiofrequency. It allows a more diffuse heating than RF Microneedling treatments and the results are usually more dramatic. Make sure you see an experienced physician for an in-person consultation and examination to determine if the treatment is appropriate for you. Best wishes.

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.

In truth, non-surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, 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 HI-DEF Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion, InMode BodyTite and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi-definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

You  have lax skin on your abdomen. An aggressive skin tightening program is suggested. Monopolar, bipolar and microneedle radio frequency have all been reported to help. In my opinion, the new Profound device, with the longest pulse durations, is the most effective of the 3 methods. View an abdominal tightening video below.

Thank you for submitting your inquiry and photo.  I'm sorry your goals haven't been met with previous treatments.  One other conservative option to consider would be ThermiTight to the abdomen.  This is an in-office procedure that uses radiofrequency to tighten skin and improve laxity.  However, the results can be more subtle.  A more aggressive approach would be to undergo a mini-abdominoplasty.  This would give you a tighter appearance of your abdomen. These options can be discussed in further detail with your plastic surgeon.  Good luck and thank you again for reaching out.

This is a very common issue. As we age the amount of quality of collagen in our skin decreases dramatically and causes skin laxity and crepiness. The gold standard would be to do a tummy tuck and pull the skin and remove extra. However, if you don't want the tummy tuck scar, radiofrequency skin tightening could improve it by 40%. Liftique radiofreuency methods, combine the best in the market to meat the needs of patients with different amount of skin laxity.

From your photograph I would recommend Thermage treatment on your abdomen. Thermage is great for tightening and restoring skin elasticity. Thermage body tip is designed to deliver heat energy in short, rapid pulses  deep into the dermis as well  the subcutaneous adipose tissue layer by bulk-heating and uniformly distributing heat energy to stimulate collagen and improve skin elasticity.
