Your Guide to Tighter Skin: Non-Surgical Solutions After Weight Loss

Considering Other Body Contouring Treatments
While their primary purpose is fat reduction, some body contouring treatments can also have a subtle effect on skin tightening. Cryolipolysis, or "fat freezing" (e.g., CoolSculpting), works by freezing fat cells, which the body then naturally eliminates. While not designed for skin laxity, the reduction in fat volume can sometimes improve the appearance of the skin in areas with stubborn fat pockets. Similarly, laser lipolysis, which uses heat to melt fat, can also provide a small degree of skin tightening as a secondary effect. These treatments are best suited for individuals who have both loose skin and small, localized pockets of fat they wish to eliminate.
