Loose Tummy Skin

Loose tummy skin, medically termed as abdominal skin laxity, is a condition characterised by sagging or excess skin around the abdomen. It often presents as folds or wrinkles, and can be particularly noticeable when standing or bending over. This aesthetic concern can significantly impact an individual’s body appearance, causing self-consciousness and dissatisfaction with their overall physique.

Common causes of loose tummy skin

Factors contributing to loose tummy skin include significant weight loss, pregnancy, ageing, and genetics. When the skin stretches due to weight gain or pregnancy, fibrous tissue can become damaged and the skin’s overall elasticity may become compromised. Whether stretched skin occurs rapidly (with pregnancy) or throughout a prolonged period (longer term weight gain)it can lead to a loss of firmness and resilience. Additionally, as we age, the production of collagen and elastin – proteins responsible for skin’s strength and elasticity – decreases, further exacerbating skin laxity. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can also affect skin elasticity, contributing to postpartum abdominal laxity.

Treatment options for loose tummy skin

Refresh MediSpa offers advanced skin tightening procedures to address loose tummy skin and restore a smoother, firmer appearance. Two innovative treatments utilised by Refresh MediSpa are Morpheus8 and BodyTite.

Morpheus8 is a non-invasive radiofrequency microneedling device that targets both the superficial and deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture and tightness. BodyTite is a minimally invasive procedure that utilises radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) technology to simultaneously remove excess fat and tighten the skin. BodyTite’s advanced technology allows for precise heating of the skin and underlying tissues, leading to significant tightening effects.

Refresh MediSpa’s experienced professionals tailor treatment plans to each patient’s specific needs and desired outcomes, ensuring safe and effective results. By addressing loose tummy skin with state-of-the-art techniques like Morpheus8 and BodyTite, individuals can achieve a firmer, more toned abdomen, enhancing their confidence and overall satisfaction with their appearance.
