Can Genius RF be used to tighten skin on the abdomen?

Question

I am 52 years old with good skin except that the skin on my abdomen is slightly saggy. Can the Genius RF help with tightening? When I am standing upright, the skin looks great. When I bend over, the skin is wrinkled.

Thank you for your questions. There are lots of devices on the market right now that are trying to achieve skin tightening with minimal invasiveness. Several of them are RF based energy. I would say that you should be guarded with the expectations. The best ones are probably the ones that involve some invasive component (InMode Bodytite for example) and even those are not as good as a surgical result.Hope this helps!Dallas R.

For nonsurgical skin tightening there are lots of options.  My preference is BodyTite with is radiofrequency based.

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 can treat loose skin with the Genius on any area of the body. It is now better since the new body tip has been introduced because it covers a larger area for each pulse. Other methods to treat this area are using BodyTite, which is more aggressive RF treatment and requires tumescent anesthesia. Additional, hyperdilute Radiesse adds to collagen and tissue tightening as well when injected in this area.
