Medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide are well-known for their effectiveness in promoting weight loss. However, after significant weight loss, many individuals experience loose skin that can affect their overall appearance. While these treatments help reduce fat, they do not address the resulting skin laxity. This is where Attiva RF, a non-surgical skin tightening procedure offered at FACE/FIT, becomes essential. Combining Attiva RF with semaglutide and tirzepatide treatments can enhance your results by firming up loose skin and refining body contours.
What are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide and How Do They Work?
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are medications used to support weight management by suppressing appetite and regulating blood sugar levels. These medications help individuals lose weight by affecting hormones that influence hunger, making people feel full faster and eat less.
As a result, individuals who use these medications often experience steady fat loss. However, rapid weight reduction can leave behind sagging skin, especially in areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs. Addressing this loose skin is important for those who want to fully enjoy the benefits of their weight loss.
Why Loose Skin Occurs After Semaglutide and Tirzepatide Treatments
Rapid weight loss from medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide can leave skin stretched, especially if the body loses fat faster than the skin can contract. When skin has been stretched for a long time, it often struggles to return to its previous form, leading to sagging skin.
Loose skin often appears in the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, and neck, areas where fat loss happens quickly. This is where Attiva RF can help by tightening skin and improving the look of these areas without the need for surgery.
How Attiva RF Works to Tighten Skin After Weight Loss
Attiva RF is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. It targets areas with sagging or loose skin by delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin’s layers. This process triggers the skin to naturally produce more collagen, which firms and tightens over time.
This treatment is particularly useful for those who have experienced rapid weight loss from semaglutide or tirzepatide treatments, as it provides a solution for excess skin. Common areas treated with Attiva RF include the abdomen, arms, neck, and thighs.
Note on Downtime: While Attiva RF is minimally invasive, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure for a few days following the treatment to allow the skin to recover properly.
