Skin Tightening/Cellulite Reducing Laser Treatments



Recommended Posts

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 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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
