How to Tighten Loose Skin After Weight Loss

Best Skin Tightening Treatments After Weight Loss

The most effective way to tighten your skin without surgery is to restore and strengthen your skin’s natural supports. If you have loose skin after weight loss, Dr. Schwartz may recommend one or more of these options. 

Renuvion®

This minimally invasive treatment uses cold plasma, an advanced technology that creates plasma by energizing helium gas with radiofrequency energy at a low temperature. Renuvion® delivers this plasma energy from beneath the skin, so it acts on the deep layers of skin and the collagen fibers within it. 

Renuvion® immediately tightens the skin by causing collagen fibers to contract. It also provides more firmness and lift over time as your skin produces more collagen. Because it works on the deepest layers, it is one of the most effective ways to tighten skin without surgery. This procedure can be performed alone or directly after liposuction for optimal cosmetic results. 

Tixel®

This form of micro-fractional skin tightening works using tiny titanium cones that transfer energy to the skin for a fraction of a second. Tixel® works on the outer layers of the skin, making it so gentle that some people do not even need numbing cream. Despite its gentleness, it stimulates collagen formation as well as smoothing and rejuvenating your skin.

Opus Plasma™

This innovative treatment uses radiofrequency energy, which is safe for all skin tones. Opus Plasma™ uses tiny pins, but unlike microneedling, they do not enter the skin. Instead, they energize the air between the tips of the pins and the skin, creating areas of precisely controlled micro-damage that result in collagen development. 

Sculpt™

If you are looking for a non-invasive, painless treatment for loose skin after weight loss, Sculpt™ may be recommended for you. It uses a wavelength of 2.45 Gigahertz, which falls into the range of microwave energy. As a result, it treats the deep layers of the skin without affecting the outer ones, making it a comfortable way to stimulate collagen formation and tighten sagging skin.

Sculpt™ is also an effective treatment for cellulite, so individuals who struggle with this concern can often enjoy dramatic reductions in dimples and bulges.  Unlike Renuvion skin tightening, which is minimally-invasive and a “one and done” in each treated area, multiple Sculpt treatments are necessary for good results.
