Should I tighten my skin using laser during weight loss or after?

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.

There are many options for skin tightening but you need a formal evaluation as this may mean surgery and/or thermage, venus legacy, velashape, thermiRF ect.  It all depends on your individual goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.

If you are noticing sagging skin at this early stage, there's the chance a skin tightening device won't get the job done.Many women simply don't display the elastic quality in their skin that makes nonsurgical efforts work well. If you wait until your weight loss is complete and stable, then you'll know if you can potentially get reasonable tightening from a device or if you'd do better with surgery to remove excessively loose skin.In the meantime, whether or not you choose tightening, keep your skin well hydrated and maintain a healthy diet (Vitamin C is an element in collagen production, both taken in through foods, supplements or applied topically).Exercise too - mommy belly muscles can stay lax and loose and can affect how you perceive the way your skin "fits".
