Body Skin Tightening

Almost all of us have some area on our bodies that we wish we could improve in some way. Most of the time, we are concerned with areas of stubborn fat. But one crucial area of body aesthetics is often forgotten when evaluating cosmetic body procedures: skin tightening.

Just like our face, the skin on our bodies is continuously pulled down by gravity, and as we age it begins to sag. This skin laxity on the body is can become even more evident after dramatic changes to the body, such as pregnancy or weight loss. When we lose a significant amount of weight, especially in a short amount of time (such as liposuction), our skin will have a small amount of natural contraction, but will typically be left with a noticeable amount of laxity. The same is true for women during pregnancy, when the skin is stretched out very rapidly, leaving many new mothers with sagging skin on the tummy, regardless of age or physical fitness. Unlike fat, exercise cannot address sagging skin, which means the most athletic person in the world could still experience sagging skin on the body.

As with any skin laxity, surgical procedures will always offer solutions, such as a tummy tuck, and in some dramatic liposuction cases where a significant amount of skin laxity remains a tummy tuck may be the best solution. But in most cases, the average patient is not a candidate for an excisional body surgery, and many are looking for a non-surgical alternative to tighten skin on the body.

Hartwater Aesthetics utilizes the most advanced skin tightening technologies available to deliver patients surgical-like results without the pain, downtime, and cost of surgery. These options range from minimally invasive in-office procedures to micro-invasive and non-invasive treatments. Our providers work with patients to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their individual needs and goals and will ultimately produce the most effective result.

BodyTite gently treats fat in stubborn areas while tightening the skin, helping you sculpt your body into its ultimate shape. The procedure is an exceptional solution for individuals who are looking to reduce fat without the saggy, wrinkly skin. It also helps improve skin laxity after weight loss or due to aging.

BodyTite results can be seen immediately, with best results noticeable after 6 weeks, and continuing to improve to 12 months. Depending on the treatment area, downtime can be from 1-2 days up to 10 days.

BodyTite is the leading non-excisional option for skin tightening on the body, offered by top plastic surgeons around the world for dramatically tightening skin and remodeling tissue without undergoing surgery. BodyTite is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that does not require patients to go under anesthesia. It is also non-excisional, which avoids large visible scarring and extensive downtime.

Using radiofrequency thermal energy applied underneath the skin, BodyTite shapes, contracts and lifts the tissue, leaving patients with surgical-like results without prolonged downtime or scarring. It utilizes RFAL (Radio- Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) technology that addresses some of the shortcomings associated with traditional liposuction or surgical body lifts.

For patients interested in tightening loose skin on the body with a less invasive procedure, Morpheus8 Body offers the very best alternative for skin tightening on the body. Morpheus8 Body is a safe and effective micro-invasive fractional rejuvenation treatment that remodels adipose tissue to tighten skin laxity head to toe.

Morpheus8 Body is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance. Morpheus8 can be used on any areas on the body that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal, including abdomen, flanks, bra/banana roll, arms, legs, knees, and more.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED?

Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results.

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF FRACTIONATED ENERGY?

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.

CAN ANYONE USE MORPHEUS8 BODY?

The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated.

CAN THIS BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?

Yes, Morpheus8 Body can be used in the same treatment session, or a few days after other treatments. Morpheus8 Body can also be combined with other energy-based treatments or injectables to achieve more extensive results.

WHAT KIND OF POST PROCEDURE CARE IS REQUIRED?

Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also slow the aging process.

While BodyTite and Morpheus8 Body offer exceptional options for addressing lax skin on the body, some patients may prefer a non-invasive, pain-free procedure for body skin tightening. Hartwater Aesthetics offers a groundbreaking new treatment called EvolveX by InMode, which is the industry's first completely non-invasive procedure for tightening skin on the body.

EvolveX is a safe and effective treatment that uses non-invasive electrodes to remodel skin on the body using radiofrequency energy (RF) for deep heating of tissue and fat. It is an easy, painless, in-office treatment that can be done over lunchtime with zero downtime. During treatments, EvolveX uses powerful AI technology to monitor the body’s temperature in real time and deliver exceptional results every time.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING THIS TREATMENT?

During your procedure you can expect a warming of your skin in the area being treated.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED?

Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be customized to address your specific needs, so the end result is a slimmer, toned appearance.

WHAT KIND OF POST PROCEDURE CARE IS RECOMMENDED?

For patients wanting to turn back the hands of time without any further disruptions to their daily activities, EvolveX treatments are ideal - there is no surgery, no anesthesia, no scars, and no downtime. You can return to your regular routine immediately after these total body procedures.

If you are interested in skin tightening for the body but are unsure which procedure is right for you, schedule a consultation to speak with a provider about a customized treatment plan.
