Loose Body Skin

You've worked hard for your body. Help your skin catch up.

Whether it's from pregnancy, weight loss, or simply aging, loose skin can hide the toned muscles underneath. When diet and exercise aren't enough to tighten the 'crepe paper' texture, medical-grade energy treatments can restore the snap.

The Science

Why Skin Loses Its Elasticity

Think of your skin like a rubber band. Over time, or after being stretched too far, it loses its ability to recoil.

1

Elastin Breakdown

Elastin is the protein that allows skin to 'snap back.' Unlike collagen, elastin is very hard for the body to regenerate naturally after puberty.

2

Rapid Volume Change

Pregnancy or rapid weight loss stretches the skin matrix beyond its tensile limit, damaging the collagen network.

3

Sun Damage

UV rays penetrate body skin (arms, legs) and destroy collagen fibers, leading to premature crepiness.

4

Hormonal Shifts

Menopause causes a sharp drop in estrogen, which is crucial for maintaining skin thickness and moisture.

Official Thermage Provider

We use genuine Thermage FLX Body Tips. These large surface tips are costly, and some clinics reuse them or use fake ones. At RAAC, you get the authentic, full-pulse treatment.

2

Pain Management

Body tightening requires high energy to be effective. We offer Pro-Nox (laughing gas) and medication to ensure you can tolerate the energy levels needed for real results.

3

Holistic Assessment

Our clinical team distinguishes between fat, loose skin, and muscle separation to ensure you get the right treatment for your specific condition.

4

Post-Partum Specialists

Extensive experience with mothers seeking non-surgical body contouring. We understand the unique challenges of post-pregnancy skin changes.
