What can be done to help loose lower stomach skin? (Photo)

You may want to consider BodyTite. This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten skin. Ideal candidates have mild to moderate skin laxity. The procedure is done in the office with no general anesthesia required. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

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.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. If you’re dealing with loose skin on your stomach and have previously tried Morpheus treatment with minimal results, it may be worth considering Morpheus8 again, especially since it’s specifically designed to tighten skin and improve texture. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, targeting deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening. Morpheus8 uses a device that delivers fractional radiofrequency energy through microneedles. This combination allows for precise treatment of areas like the abdomen, effectively addressing loose skin. The heat generated by the radiofrequency energy penetrates the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production. As these proteins increase, they help to tighten the skin and improve its overall appearance. One of the advantages of Morpheus8 is that it not only targets superficial skin concerns but also works on deeper layers, making it effective for tightening loose skin. The treatment can result in gradual improvements over time, as collagen remodeling occurs, often visible in the weeks and months following the procedure. Additionally, it typically requires minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your regular activities relatively quickly. I hope this helps and best of luck!
