Loose skin on the tummy, arms or thighs

Sizing up loose skin on the tummy, arms or thighs

The first thing your practitioner gauges is how much laxity there is, because radiofrequency is designed for mild to moderate looseness, and substantial loose skin after major weight loss is a surgical question. They look at whether upper-arm skin moves independently, whether the inner thighs have a crepey texture, and whether softness on the abdomen followed pregnancy or weight loss, separating the skin itself from what sits beneath it.

Radio Frequency: Body Contouring is chosen for loose skin after weight change or pregnancy across the abdomen, arms and thighs. Non-Invasive Structural Skin Tightening delivers radiofrequency into the deeper support layers where skin has lost firmness. If fat is part of what you want changed, ask about Laser Lipolysis: Fat Reduction, which is often planned alongside contouring. Most clients describe deep, comfortable warmth, and the setting is adjusted if it feels like more.

What happens when you come in?

Your first visit is a free consultation at the Aldergrove clinic. A practitioner looks at the area in good light, asks how long you have noticed it and what you have already tried, and checks anything that would affect which treatments are suitable: medication, recent sun exposure, previous treatments.

You then hear which of the options above suits your skin, what it realistically achieves, how many sessions it usually takes and what recovery looks like. If the honest answer is that none of them will give you what you want, or that something needs a doctor first, you will hear that instead.

Worth mentioning at your consultation

• When you first noticed it, and whether it has changed since
• Products and treatments you have already tried
• Any medication, supplements or diagnosed skin conditions
• Holidays, events or sun exposure you are planning around
