What is the best non-surgical alternative to an abdominoplasty (solely for skin laxity)? (Photos)

Asked By:jpchicago in Rockford, IL

A few years ago I rapidly gained around 100 lbs. I was overweight for maybe two years. I’ve since lost the weight, and firmed up my muscles; however some skin laxity (and rippling) remains. My main factors for not wanting surgery are price and scarring. I’m a fairly hairy guy, and a hip to hip scar (and possibly one around my navel) would be more noticeable w/ any missing hair. I’ve heard RF & vacuum could resolve the issue (one site having before & after pics). Is this a viable option?
