Loose skin affects all areas of the body, contributing to an aged appearance and loss of definition in the facial and body contours. At JanigaMDs, we offer many treatments to tighten loose skin, including surgical procedures and non-surgical or minimally invasive treatments, depending on the amount of loose skin and desired results.
At JanigaMDs, we offer many surgical and non-surgical solutions for lax skin and will help you develop a personalized treatment plan depending on your specific needs.
Facial plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift, tighten skin in the midface and lower face to restore a more lifted, youthful appearance. In addition to tightening the skin, surgical procedures can also remove excess skin for added lifting and tightening.
Surgical body procedures, like tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck, breast lift, arm lifts, mini arm lift, and thigh lifts, focus on areas where loose skin commonly appears following weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. The abdomen, arms, thighs, and flanks are frequently treated to improve firmness and shape. Body contouring treatments aim to remove or tighten excess skin while enhancing the overall silhouette of the body.
Advanced treatments like radiofrequency BodyTite or FaceTite utilize focused radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin to firm sagging skin, and improve skin elasticity. Certain lasers, like CO2 resurfacing, can achieve more radiant skin and improvements in overall skin tone by encouraging the development of new, healthy skin cells. These cosmetic non-surgical treatments can provide a dramatic improvement in facial or body contours for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and require little to no downtime.
Non-invasive skin tightening is performed on the exterior of the skin, with no punctures, no stitches, and no downtime. These modalities can be based on radiofrequency energy, like Forma or Evolve, or they can be based on ultrasound technology like Sofwave. Most of these treatments have no downtime and little recovery, but often require more than one treatment or a series of treatments to achieve the best results.
Before beginning treatment for loose skin, patients will participate in a consultation to discuss medical history, aesthetic concerns, and desired outcomes. During this visit, the provider evaluates skin quality and determines the most appropriate treatment approach. Patients may be advised to adjust certain medications or skincare products before treatment to ensure optimal results and safety.
Skin tightening procedures vary, depending on whether you are receiving surgery or a non-invasive treatment. Surgical procedures are typically performed at Dr. Janiga’s physician-owned surgical center, while minimally invasive treatments and laser therapy are performed in-office. Treatment length and the specifics of the procedure being received will be discussed in detail at your consultation.
Depending on the type of procedure you had, following treatment, patients may experience temporary swelling, redness, or mild discomfort in the treated area if a more intense procedure was done. These effects resolve as the body heals. Post-treatment instructions are provided to support recovery and protect the skin, helping ensure the best possible outcome. Patients may be advised to avoid strenuous activities and wear compression garments for certain periods of time, depending on the procedure. For the non-invasive procedures, you can usually return to work the same day with little to no recovery or downtime.
Results from loose skin treatments often develop gradually as collagen stimulation and remodeling occur and tissues heal. Some patients have noticeable improvement within weeks, while others experience continued tightening over several months. The extent and longevity of results depend on the treatment performed, the severity of skin laxity, and individual healing responses. Smoother, tighter skin can often be enjoyed for several years.
