What it is
The skin of the body loses firmness with age, after pregnancy or after weight loss. It shows most on the abdomen, the inner arms and the inner thighs. The skin looks thinner and less toned.
Why it happens
- Falling collagen and elastin with age
- Significant weight loss, which leaves excess skin
- Pregnancy, which stretches the skin of the abdomen
- A lack of exercise, which reduces muscular support
What we can offer
What aesthetic medicine cannot do
Significant excess skin, after pregnancy or major weight loss, is a surgical matter. Medical treatments improve the quality and tone of the skin, they do not remove any. Results are gradual and need maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
How many sessions are needed?
At the start, sessions take place once a month. Around 4 sessions are needed before a result can be judged. Maintenance is then necessary, at a frequency set case by case.
When is a result visible?
Gradually, as collagen rebuilds. The result is usually judged 2 to 3 months after the end of the course.
Do I need to wait after a pregnancy?
Yes. You are asked to wait until breastfeeding has ended and your weight has stabilised before starting.
