    What Is It

    Treatment of
    Loose Skin

    Sagging, lax skin is one of the most common aesthetic concerns — and one of the most under-treated. At RejuveenMD, Dr. LeVeen offers precise, personalised solutions for every zone and every cause.

    Loose skin occurs when the dermis loses collagen, elastin, and the structural support needed to maintain firmness. Whether caused by ageing, weight loss, pregnancy, or genetics, the result is skin that no longer conforms to the underlying body contour. At RejuveenMD in Palo Alto, Dr. LeVeen assesses each patient individually — recommending surgical or non-surgical skin tightening based on the degree of laxity, affected area, and desired outcome.

    Understanding the Cause

    Why does skin
    become loose?

    Loose skin is not a single condition — it has multiple distinct causes, each requiring a different treatment approach. Understanding your cause is the first step to choosing the right solution.

    1
    Natural Ageing
    From our mid-20s, collagen and elastin production decline by approximately 1% per year. By the 40s and 50s, this cumulative loss produces visible skin laxity — particularly around the face, neck, jowls, and hands.
    2
    Significant Weight Loss
    Rapid or substantial weight loss — whether through diet, exercise, or bariatric surgery — leaves excess skin that has lost its elasticity and cannot fully retract. The abdomen, arms, thighs, and breasts are most commonly affected.
    3
    Pregnancy
    The dramatic stretching of abdominal skin during pregnancy often exceeds the skin's ability to rebound — resulting in loose, crepey skin around the navel, lower abdomen, and flanks even after returning to pre-pregnancy weight.
    4
    Genetics & Sun Damage
    Genetic predisposition, chronic UV exposure, smoking, and lifestyle factors accelerate collagen breakdown — causing premature skin laxity that appears earlier and progresses more rapidly than age alone would suggest.
    The Surgical Truth
    "Creams and devices can improve skin tone — but only surgery can remove truly excess skin. Knowing which you need is everything."
    Dr. LeVeen conducts a thorough assessment at your free consultation to determine the right treatment approach for your specific cause and degree of laxity.
    What This Means for You
    "There is no single solution for loose skin. The right treatment depends entirely on where the skin is, why it's loose, and how much excess there is."
    Every RejuveenMD treatment plan begins with a personalised assessment — never a one-size-fits-all approach, never pressure to choose a specific procedure.

    Am I a Candidate?

    You may be ready
    for skin tightening if you…

    Candidacy for loose skin treatment depends on the area affected, the degree of laxity, your overall health, and whether a surgical or non-surgical approach is most appropriate for your goals.

    Notice visible sagging, crepey skin, or excess skin folds on your face, neck, abdomen, arms, or thighs
    Have experienced significant weight loss, post-pregnancy changes, or age-related skin changes
    Are at or near your goal weight and have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months
    Are in good general health with no uncontrolled medical conditions that would affect surgical healing
    Have tried topical treatments or non-surgical options without achieving the level of improvement you desire
    Are a non-smoker or committed to stopping smoking at least 4 weeks before and after any surgical procedure
    Not sure which treatment you need? That's exactly what the consultation is for. Dr. LeVeen assesses your skin in person and recommends the most effective, least-invasive solution for your specific situation — with zero pressure to proceed.

    Frequently Asked

    Loose skin treatment questions,
    answered honestly.

    Everything you need to know before your consultation — clear, honest answers from our surgical team at RejuveenMD, Palo Alto.

    What is the difference between surgical and non-surgical loose skin treatment?
    Non-surgical treatments (radiofrequency, biostimulators) improve skin quality and mild laxity by stimulating collagen — they work best for mild to moderate cases and require no downtime. Surgical treatments (abdominoplasty, neck lift, arm lift) physically remove excess skin and are the only option for significant skin redundancy. Dr. LeVeen determines which approach is appropriate based on your individual degree of laxity during your consultation.
    Can loose skin be tightened without surgery?
    Mild to moderate skin laxity can respond well to non-surgical treatments such as radiofrequency skin tightening, collagen biostimulators, and combination protocols. However, truly excess skin — particularly after significant weight loss or pregnancy — cannot be removed without surgery. Dr. LeVeen will assess your skin in person and give you an honest recommendation based on what will actually produce the result you want.
    How long does recovery take after surgical skin tightening?
    Recovery varies by procedure. Tummy tucks typically require 2–4 weeks before returning to light activity. Neck lifts and arm lifts usually allow return to desk work within 1–2 weeks. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks across all procedures. Dr. LeVeen provides a detailed, personalised recovery plan at your consultation and supports you throughout the healing process.
    Will there be visible scarring after skin tightening surgery?
    All surgical skin tightening involves incisions, but Dr. LeVeen places these strategically in naturally concealed locations — the waistline and groin for tummy tucks, behind the ears and under the chin for neck lifts, and the inner arm crease for brachioplasty. With proper wound care and scar management, scars typically fade significantly within 6–12 months and are easily concealed by clothing.
    How long do the results of loose skin treatment last?
    Surgical skin removal produces permanent results — the excised skin is gone. Results are best maintained with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, as significant weight fluctuations can affect outcomes. Non-surgical treatments require periodic maintenance sessions. Dr. LeVeen sets realistic, honest expectations for longevity based on your specific treatment during your consultation.
    How do I know which loose skin treatment is right for me?
    The right treatment depends on the area affected, the degree of laxity, your skin quality, overall health, and personal goals. The only way to determine this accurately is an in-person assessment with Dr. LeVeen. Your free consultation includes a thorough physical evaluation and honest recommendation — with no obligation or pressure to proceed with any specific treatment.
