Is Sagging Loose Skin Affecting Your Confidence?
It is one thing to lose weight and another to tighten the skin once that weight is lost.

Understand Sagging and How Skin Tightening Works
Our skin produces less collagen and elastin — proteins essential for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity as we age. This, combined with gravity, leads to sagging and wrinkles. Significant weight loss can also cause the skin to lose its ability to retract after being stretched, causing a flabby appearance. One way to address this concern is through non-surgical skin tightening procedures to firm and tighten the skin. In Pittsburgh, Dr. Lisa and our team use various techniques and technologies to stimulate collagen production. This restores firmness and smoothness without surgical intervention.

Our Patient’s Story
“After giving birth to my 2nd child I put a great deal of effort into losing weight, but this left me with so much sagging. At my wit’s end and feeling depressed I searched the Pittsburgh area for treatment options and Dr. Lisa came highly recommended by a friend of mine. After several body contouring sessions I could see and feel the difference. Confidence. Excitement. I now look forward to summertime in Pittsburgh!” – Ally
Common Sagging Areas Where Skin Tightening Is Needed
These areas are commonly targeted in non-surgical tightening treatments to help patients achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Abdomen
Due to fluctuations in weight, pregnancy, and the natural aging process, it can stretch the skin and weaken its elasticity in the abdominal area. Skin tightening helps with enhancing the body's natural contours in this area
Arms
Sagging skin on the arms, also known as "bat wings," can occur with aging or significant weight loss. This area tends to show noticeable laxity that greatly benefits from skin tightening procedures for a more toned appearance.
Thighs
Sagging thighs may affect the overall body shape and can be concerning if you want a more youthful profile. Skin can be tightened to improve the flabbiness.
Buttocks
Sagging buttocks can make you feel old and self-conscious. Non-surgical treatments can tighten the skin, and lift and firm it for a youthful contour.
