What is the best non surgical treatment for abdominal smoothing? (Photo)

Question

Hi I am looking for the best non surgical treatment to help smooth my stomach area. I work out daily, eat healthy but no matter how fit, my stomach seems to have lumps/bumps and lines. Would love to feel comfortable in a bikini with a smooth stomach area.

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.

Best,

Hi- I would recommend the Morpheus8 for noninvasive skin tightening of your abdomen. Morpheus8 is a versatile tool with many benefits which include:

-Reduction of wrinkles
-Production of collagen and reorganization of fat for a smoother, sleeker appearance of the face and body
-Elimination of double chin and a more defined jawline
-Removal of extra sag in the belly
-Reduction of crepey skin on the upper arms, front of legs, back of legs, and knees

Hello! We recommend getting Microneedling or Exilis to remove those stomach lines and bumps. These treatments tighten and smooth the skin appearance.

Dear Runrun123,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, non surgical methods can help with some loose skin. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
