Best Ways to Tighten Skin after Weight Loss
While anyone who loses weight can experience changes to their facial features, new weight loss medications are allowing more people to lose their excess weight. These people have discovered that their weight loss can come with loose skin, sagging, and hollow areas. Your Rejuve Med-Spa team offers options to help you tighten loose skin and restore a firmer, more sculpted look.
Why Has My Face Changed After Weight Loss?
When your body loses weight by burning fat, you do not have a choice in where that fat comes from. While you want to lose fat from targeted areas, you most likely do not want to lose the shape and definition of your cheeks and other features. This facial volume loss leads to skin laxity, lines and wrinkles, and hollow-looking areas.
Best Ways to Tighten Loose Skin After Weight Loss
Your Rejuve Med-Spa experts can offer you a range of options based on your skin tightening needs. Our non-surgical options are most suitable for those with mild to moderate loose skin, and people with severe sagging might benefit from a surgical skin-tightening procedure.
Dermal Fillers
One of the most effective ways to correct the effects of weight loss is to restore the volume you have lost. Dermal fillers are an effective treatment for lines and wrinkles, restoring shape and definition to your cheeks and recontouring your jawline. Dermal fillers are injectable, and results can last for several years with some filler types.
SkinPen® Microneedling
This precision microneedling tool creates channels in the skin that stimulate a boost of healing and growth factors as well as collagen formation. SkinPen® provides tighter, more even skin with a series of treatments, and it also improves concerns like sun damage and fine lines. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended.
Pixel Laser
This laser treatment also creates tiny channels in the skin, but those created by the Pixel laser are shallower than microneedling, leading to faster recovery time. It tightens the skin by amping up collagen formation, a process that has numerous other benefits. Pixel also offers an excellent option for acne scars, wrinkles, and other textural issues.

Is There Any Downtime After Skin Tightening Treatments?
Our treatments for skin tightening after weight loss have minimal downtime and fit into busy schedules. Most people can return to their daily routine without anyone knowing they had treatment, although some may notice minor bruising or swelling. Treatments like microneedling may lead to a few days of redness and sensitivity.
Am I a Candidate for Skin Tightening After Weight Loss?
Almost anyone can enjoy the benefits of at least one of our skin-tightening treatment options. Good candidates have realistic expectations about what a non-surgical procedure can accomplish. Candidates should be in overall good health and not have irritated or broken skin in the treatment area.
