Laser skin tightening?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried laser tightening or any type of non invasive tightening? Did it work? Is it cheaper than actual surgery?

I'm sure it's cheaper. Plastic surgery is pretty pricey. But I don't know how good of a job it does.

It's an old topic but still laser tightening and non-invasive tightening treatments have become quite popular alternatives to surgical procedures. Many people have tried them, and results can vary depending on individual factors.

I did three treatments of MorpheusX and 4 treatments of Evolve. Very little change. Waste of money. Don't do it.

Thing to remember when approaching these & similar treatments is that’s what we have is more than just normal aging sagginess & skin laxity. So while people may have success with them they likely had laxity from aging not dramatic weight loss.

Not sure when you had your treatments, but it takes time for the Morpheus8 micro needling/RF to work. It takes three months for your skin to cycle and for you to start to see improvement. I had 4 monthly treatments of SecretRF which is the same as Morpheus. I did it mainly to help with my acne scaring & any other benefits were a bonus. My skin texture & tone is more even & my skin is softer. There has been a slight tightening around my cheek bones - they are little more noticeable. My Beauty therapist thinks my acne scars aren’t as deep. And my unexpected bonus this month has been a reduction in lipstick bleeding. Whoo hoo! Do I still have saggy jowls? Yes & I may not see any real improvement there but that’s okay. I still have another couple of months to discover new wins. My cosmetic physician who performed the treatments said you can continue to see improvement for 6 months after your last treatment.

What’s Evolve?

In terms of cost, non-invasive options like laser tightening can be more affordable compared to surgical procedures, which often involve more extensive interventions. However, it's important to note that the cost can still vary depending on factors such as the specific treatment, the provider, and the region.

BTW, have you heard about PICO Laser Treatment? It's a cutting-edge technology that has shown promising results in various skin rejuvenation procedures. It might be worth exploring as an option for non-invasive tightening. As always, it's recommended to consult with a qualified professional who can assess your specific needs and provide you with personalized advice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
