Loose Skin after Weight Loss? Try Venus Skin Tightening
When you carry around extra weight for a long time, the collagen and elastin in your skin get damaged. Collagen and elastin are essential skin proteins that make your skin stretchy and elastic. They are also crucial for helping skin snap back after weight loss!
If you lose weight only to find your skin is sagging and loose, you’ve probably damaged a significant portion of collagen and elastin. This means you are probably still self-conscious about your body even though you recently lost weight!
No one wants to worry about loose skin after weight loss. Thankfully, Stadia for Men in San Antonio are experts at skin tightening for men looking to snug up loose skin after weight loss with Venus Legacy.
Venus Legacy is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment to tighten sagging skin after weight loss. Keep reading to learn about Venus skin tightening, including the benefits of pairing Venus Legacy with liposuction and other fat loss treatments!
How does Venus Legacy Tighten Skin?
Skin Tightening for men with Venus Legacy is a non-invasive therapy that combines radiofrequency energy with pulsing electromagnetic fields. Together, they create a matrix of heat in the treatment area to target loose skin and stimulate collagen production.
Because the loose skin after weight loss results from collagen and elastin damage, you must create more collagen and elastin to reverse the effects. RF energy is often used for skin resurfacing treatments because the targeted heat forces your skin to produce more collagen. The heat also stimulates your body’s natural healing processes to remove the damaged collagen.
On average, Venus Legacy creates tighter skin for up to 18 months. Unfortunately, the increase in collagen and elastin production is not permanent, but your results could last for years with regular maintenance visits.
Venus Legacy is primarily a skin tightening treatment, but the procedure can also help with fat loss, cellulite reduction, and fine lines and wrinkles.
People who lose 100 pounds or more may need to consider more invasive procedures to remove excess skin. Venus Legacy is more effective for small areas of skin laxity. The treatment is FDA-approved to treat most areas of the body – including the face, abdomen, arms, hips, and buttocks.
Can I Use Venus Legacy with Other Treatments?
Men often ask which cosmetic treatments pair well together. When it comes to cost and convenience, you would ideally find a single treatment to help you meet all of your appearance goals. But that isn’t always possible.
Venus Legacy skin tightening pairs well with certain treatments and may even help you get better results. Here are a few ways you can pair Venus Legacy with other cosmetic procedures.
Venus Legacy after Lipo
Liposuction is a cosmetic surgery to get rid of unwanted fat. Large amounts of fat are pulled from the body using large tubes. The treatment is an effective way to remove fat from the body.
However, a major complaint patients have after liposuction is loose skin in the treatment area. In many cases, your skin will naturally tighten up after liposuction. Most people see an improvement in the first two weeks once the swelling subsides, then the skin continues to tighten over the next two to three months.
For those whose skin doesn’t tighten naturally, you may want to consider Venus Legacy to improve your skin’s appearance.
Venus Legacy is a noninvasive way to tighten skin after lipo. You will need to wait two weeks after liposuction to try Venus Legacy to allow your body time to heal from your procedure. The skin tightening treatment may even help refine your liposuction results, leading to a better overall body contour and appearance.
Venus Legacy after Coolsculpting™
Coolsculpting™ is a powerful noninvasive fat loss treatment to help those who have already experienced some weight loss but struggling with small areas of stubborn fat. The procedure also improves your overall body contour.
During Coolsculpting™, your provider places the cooling applicators on your skin to freeze the fat cells. The frozen fat cells die and are removed from the body naturally. Results are typically visible several weeks after your treatment, as it takes time for your body to remove the fat cells via its natural removal systems.
Because Coolsculpting™ gets rid of fat cells gradually over time, the chances of developing saggy skin are relatively low. However, adding a Venus Legacy treatment after Coolsculpting™ will ensure skin stays tight once unwanted fat is removed.
Does Venus Legacy Get Rid of Fat?
Venus Legacy can also improve your body contour by reducing fat cells. The treatment works best for targeted fat loss.
Radiofrequency energy heats the fat until cell death, which your body removes via its natural disposal systems. Venus Legacy is not a weight loss treatment. Any weight lost after the treatment is a result of the removal of fat cells.
Does Venus Legacy Reduce Cellulite?
If you’ve recently experienced significant weight loss, you might wonder why you still have cellulite! Unfortunately, losing weight doesn’t remove cellulite because fat cells are only one aspect of cellulite formation.
Cellulite is caused by a combination of tight fibrous bands, thin skin, and excess fat cells. While fat cells often shrink as a result of weight loss, they do not disappear. And the tight bands and loose skin aren’t affected at all.
Venus Legacy stimulates collagen production, which makes your skin thicker and breaks up the fibrous bands causing a dimpled appearance. So, not only does Venus tighten skin after weight loss, it can help get rid of that stubborn area of cellulite at the same time! Learn more about how to get rid of cellulite at Stadia for Men.
