First weight loss, now loose skin? Learn how to tighten up post-fat removal
After your CoolSculpting results have taken hold, you’re feeling like a new person and excited to show off your slimmer shape. But if loose skin is lingering post-weight loss and fat reduction, your confidence doesn’t reach the height that you were hoping for. CoolSculpting targets fat, bypassing the healthy skin cells in the treatment area. This is good for many reasons, but means that it’s typically not going to lead to any skin tightening or improved elasticity.
If you’re loving your CoolSculpting results but hoping for skin retraction, we can help. Titan skin tightening heats the dermis, the structural layer of your skin, to heighten collagen and elastin production. Existing collagen also thickens, leading to the area pulling tighter and reduced sagging. Titan works especially well alongside CoolSculpting because both take several months to show full results, and work concurrently.*
How Titan Enhances CoolSculpting Results
Your skin’s elasticity is dependent upon a few factors:
- Weight loss history – If your skin has already been stretched multiple times with repeat weight gains and losses, it’s not going to have the same elasticity it once did. Older people are also less likely to have their skin respond as well, because more collagen and elastin have broken down.
- Level of sun damage – Sun exposure damages connective tissues in the skin, causing it to wrinkle and sag, and not retract as well.
- Genetics – Some individuals simply have more elastic skin than others. But even if yours isn’t responding well, you can take matters into your own hands.
Before CoolSculpting, we’ll be able to tell whether your natural elasticity is strong enough to jump into action throughout the fat loss process. If it’s not quite there on its own, Titan will help you tighten up as you reduce problem fat.*
If you’re a Titan candidate at the time of your CoolSculpting treatment, we may recommend performing both treatments at the outset. This way, your skin will contract as fat is lost, and you’ll complete the process looking both slim and sleek. The time involved in both healing periods following treatment is similar, so your skin will tighten as the fat cells are eliminated. Your body will adjust to your new contours on an ideal schedule, and you’ll be loving your body’s shape within a few months of treatment.*
