Loose Skin Treatment

Loose skin can occur due to weight loss, ageing, or pregnancy, and while it is a natural part of the body’s changes over time, many people seek treatment to restore a firmer and more youthful appearance. At Karratha Medical Centre, Dr Amir Waly provides evidence-based medical treatments for individuals looking to improve skin elasticity and achieve smoother skin texture.

What Causes Loose Skin?

Skin loses elasticity due to several factors, including reduced collagen and elastin production, prolonged sun exposure, lifestyle factors, and significant changes in body weight. As the skin stretches or loses its structural support over time, it may not retract fully, resulting in sagging areas.

Treatment Options for Loose Skin

A variety of treatment options are available to address loose skin, depending on individual needs and medical suitability. Non-surgical options include laser therapy, ultrasound treatments, and radiofrequency procedures, which aim to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin gradually. For more significant skin laxity, surgical procedures such as skin excision or lifting techniques may be considered.

Lifestyle modifications, including strength training, a protein-rich diet, and optimal hydration, can also support skin firmness and overall skin health. Dr Amir Waly will assess your skin condition and discuss the most appropriate treatment options tailored to your concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is loose skin treatment safe?

Treatments for loose skin are designed to be safe when performed by a qualified medical professional. Non-invasive treatments such as laser and radiofrequency therapies generally have minimal downtime, while surgical options require a thorough discussion of risks and recovery.

How long does it take to see results?

Non-surgical treatments typically require multiple sessions, with gradual improvement seen over weeks to months as collagen production increases. Surgical procedures provide more immediate results but involve a recovery period.

Can loose skin be tightened without surgery?

Many non-surgical options can improve skin firmness, although results vary depending on the severity of the skin laxity and individual factors. A medical assessment can help determine the best approach.

Will exercise help tighten loose skin?

Regular strength training and maintaining a healthy diet can support skin elasticity and muscle tone, but they may not fully address moderate to severe loose skin. Combining lifestyle changes with medical treatments can enhance results.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

The best treatment depends on factors such as skin condition, medical history, and personal goals. Dr Amir Waly will guide you through the available options to find a treatment plan suited to your needs.
