You’ve worked hard at your weight loss program, making healthy choices and watching the pounds drop. You’re thrilled with your progress, but as you start to get closer to your ideal weight, you might see some unexpected changes in your appearance.
Maybe your skin isn’t bouncing back the way you hoped, or you’re noticing some stubborn fat pockets that just won’t budge. And is your mind playing tricks on you, or are you losing muscle as well as fat?
Your weight loss transformation doesn’t stop at reaching a target number on the scale. The ultimate goal is feeling confident, healthy and proud of the skin you’re in — and sometimes that takes a few extra steps.
At Resurrect Skin MD, we’ve curated cutting-edge treatments and technologies to address the unwanted physical changes that often accompany weight loss. We see these as essential parts of our weight loss program. In fact, we believe so strongly in this holistic approach that, once you reach your weight goals, we’ll offer you your choice of a complimentary session with one of these services to enhance your results.
How Does Losing Weight Change Your Body?
Losing weight can transform your health and quality of life in countless positive ways. You may feel more energetic, have fewer aches and pains, lower your risk of developing health conditions and so much more.
However, it’s not uncommon to experience some appearance changes that aren’t as welcome as the weight loss itself, such as:
- Loose or sagging skin
- Loss of facial volume
- Stubborn fat pockets
- Decreased muscle tone
These changes occur because when you lose weight, you’re not just losing fat; you’re also losing some muscle mass and the structural support that once kept your skin taut. Factors like age, genetics and sun damage can also influence how your skin responds to weight loss.
We’ve seen firsthand how these changes impact our patients’ self-confidence and satisfaction. It takes dedication to reach your weight loss goals, and being left with new concerns can take away from the joy you should be feeling about your achievements.
You deserve to love the way you look and feel, from head to toe. When we design your weight loss plan, it will include all modalities our team believes will help you reach your goals. We have the best technology in the world, and our accomplished providers know how to use these tools in the most creative and effective ways.
Tracking Your Progress With ShapeScale
Every weight loss plan at Resurrect Skin MD includes assessments with ShapeScale, a state-of-the-art body composition and body contour tracking system.
ShapeScale creates a 3D model of your body in less than a minute. This helps us fine-tune your treatment plan and allows you to see your progress beyond pounds lost. With the accompanying free app, you can track your body composition changes over time and visualize your transformation like never before.
Tightening Loose Skin With Sofwave
When you gain weight, your skin stretches to accommodate the extra volume. When you lose weight, especially if it happens rapidly, your skin may not have enough elasticity to “snap back” to its original size. This is why one of the most common complaints our patients have after weight loss is loose or sagging skin.
Sofwave is a noninvasive, no-downtime skin tightening treatment that uses ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. The treatment can deliver visible improvements in skin quality and firmness after just one 30 to 45 minute session.
Building and Sculpting Muscle With Accufit
Losing weight sometimes leads to more than losing fat. When your body is in a calorie deficit, it may break down both fat and muscle tissue for energy. This loss of muscle mass can leave you with a softer, less toned appearance than you were hoping for once you’ve reached your goal weight.
Accufit is an innovative muscle strengthening and toning treatment that uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of muscle contractions in a single session. This technology can help you build strength, improve muscle definition, enhance your body composition and give you the sculpted physique you’ve been working towards.
Reducing Fat With CoolSculpting
Certain areas of our bodies are prone to holding onto fat. It’s not due to a lack of effort or willpower, but rather to our individual genetic makeup. These stubborn fat pockets can persist even if your weight loss program has been successful.
CoolSculpting is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive treatment that freezes fat cells in specific areas of the body. Once frozen, the fat cells are naturally eliminated by your body, giving you a leaner, more sculpted appearance. CoolSculpting can be an excellent complement to your weight loss journey, helping you see results even in those hard-to-tone areas.
Smoothing Cellulite With INDIBA
Cellulite affects people of all shapes and sizes, but it can become more noticeable after weight loss. Its dimpled, “orange peel” appearance is caused by a combination of factors, including the structure of your connective tissue, the distribution of fat cells, and the thickness and elasticity of your skin.
INDIBA is a unique treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve uneven fat distribution. By heating the deeper layers of your skin and underlying tissues, INDIBA helps to smooth, tighten and contour the treated areas. It is another powerful way to put the finishing touches on your weight loss results.
Restoring Facial Volume With Dermal Fillers
You may find that your face looks thinner or more hollow after weight loss, with more prominent wrinkles, folds and shadows. This is because the fat pads that provide youthful fullness to your face can also shrink when you lose weight, giving a more aged or gaunt appearance.
To counteract this, RSMD offers a variety of premium dermal fillers from brands like Juvéderm, Restylane, RHA and Sculptra. Our injectors use these fillers to restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, lips, under-eyes and other areas that require contouring. We use a precise and artistic approach to create flattering, natural-looking results.
