Loose Skin
Loose skin refers to the sagging or lax appearance of the skin, often resulting from a loss of elasticity, firmness, or volume. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs.
What causes Loose Skin
Loose skin occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and firmness due to a reduction in collagen and elastin, the proteins that provide structure and resilience.

Our Loose Skin Solutions
After a consultation with our aesthetic doctor, these are various anti-Loose Skin solutions that we offer
MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENT
Microneedling with radiofrequency combines the benefits of micro-injuries and heat energy to target loose skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production. The fine needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin, activating the body's natural healing response and encouraging tissue remodeling. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy penetrates the deeper layers, tightening skin and improving elasticity. This dual-action treatment effectively firms sagging areas, refines skin texture, and restores a more youthful appearance. Over time, treated areas appear noticeably tighter and smoother, with improved contour and resilience.
HIGH-INTENSITY FOCUSED ELECTROMAGNETIC TREATMENT
High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic treatment induces powerful muscle contractions. These contractions build and strengthen muscles, which support the skin’s structure, helping to improve firmness and elasticity in areas prone to sagging.
Loose Skin Myths
Only people who lose weight rapidly experience loose skin.
Loose skin can result from gradual weight loss, pregnancy, or even natural aging due to collagen depletion.
Young people don’t experience loose skin.
Loose skin can affect people of all ages, especially after significant weight fluctuations or prolonged sun exposure.
Tight clothing can help reduce loose skin.
Tight clothing can provide temporary support but does nothing to improve the skin’s elasticity or firmness.
Loose skin is the same as cellulite.
Loose skin and cellulite are different conditions. Cellulite is caused by fat pushing against the skin, creating a dimpled appearance, while loose skin is due to a reduction in collagen and elastin.
Exercising muscles will tighten loose skin.
Exercise strengthens muscles but does not have a direct effect on skin elasticity. For skin to tighten, collagen and elastin production needs to be stimulated.
You can't prevent loose skin, it’s just part of getting older.
While aging contributes to loose skin, taking preventive measures like proper skincare, hydration, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking and sun exposure can help reduce the risk of developing significant skin laxity.
The tighter your skin is, the less likely it will loosen again.
Skin elasticity can be affected by multiple factors, including aging, significant weight fluctuations, and sun exposure, meaning skin can loosen again even after being tightened.
If you lose weight slowly, you won’t get loose skin.
While losing weight gradually may reduce the likelihood of loose skin, it’s still possible to develop loose skin due to factors like genetics, age, and skin elasticity.
The younger you are, the less likely you are to develop loose skin.
While younger people generally have more skin elasticity, factors like genetics and significant weight loss can still lead to loose skin at any age.
You need to lose all the weight before tightening your skin.
Tightening skin can begin during or after weight loss, especially with the help of treatments that stimulate collagen production, so waiting until all the weight is gone isn't always necessary.
Loose skin after pregnancy is permanent.
Many women experience some degree of loose skin after pregnancy, but with time, exercise and treatments, the appearance of the skin can improve significantly.
