Is there any nonsurgical way to remove (not tighten) loose skin?

SKORJun 9, 2022
I know there are a lot of treatments that tighten by stimulating collagen under the skin, but is there any nonsurgical way that will reduce the surface area of the skin, the same way a surgeon would cut and remove it? I am confused if plasma is actually 'burning' away a dot of skin that would contract the surrounding skin on the surface as it heals.
