Skin Tightening/Cellulite Reducing Laser Treatments

I was wondering if anyone has tried any skin tightening/cellulite reducing laser treatments post weight loss. I am looking for a more affordable alternative to plastics after surgery and weight loss, as my insurance does not cover it and I will never have tens of thousands to spend on pastic surgery. There is a spa in my area that does these kinds of laser treatments, but its about $2000 for the treatment. Before I even invest this much I was wondering if anyone has had this done?

Thanks!

I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!I have asked this question before and no one responded that had done the procedure !!! I am considering it in July!! If you find out any real opinions from someone who has had the procedure done I would love to know !! Good Luck !!!

I would suggest you find forums about plastics. Most of us that have lost alot of weight after surgery don't need cellulite treatment - so that is why you don't see responses on a WLS based forum.

I tried these treatments on my thighs about three years ago, before I even considered having the gastric sleeve surgery. I was and still am much fatter than the treatments are designed for. If you only have a small amount of cellulite and loose skin it might be worth it. Otherwise it will be a waste of your money. I would also suggest you do more research about these procedures and the spas that offer them. Go see a dermatologist and a plastic surgeon for a consult and get a medical opinion before you decide. Many plastic surgeons offer payment plans too.
