Will crepey tummy skin post-pregnancy return after Venus freeze treatments? How long will the results last?

Question

Venus Freeze results are generally not permanent, but if you have Venus Freeze treatments on mildly crepey post-pregnancy abdomen skin, will the crepey-ness return? What's the average amount of time the results will last?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No treatment for skin tightening is permanent, the aging process always goes on and loose skin once tightened has to be maintained unless you have surgery.  I tell my patients to have a series of 6-10 treatments and then do 3-4 times a year to maintain for a while; until a lot of new collagen appears.  See a body contouring expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

A Sculpt FX treatment by Venus Legacy will tighten your
abdomen for a more defined stomach. 
Generally 10 treatments are recommended to achieve best results.  Two to three maintenance treatments per year
are recommended to maintain these results. 
You should schedule a consultation to determine whether or not you are a
good candidate for Venus Legacy.  Non-invasive
laser treatments may also offer another alternative.
