Losing weight is an incredible achievement, and at Soothe Luxury Skincare & Spa in Nottingham, we see so many clients who feel proud of their weight loss journey. But alongside the joy, it’s common to feel frustrated when the skin doesn’t “bounce back” the way you hoped.
Loose skin, sagging, or crepiness can appear on the face, neck, tummy, arms, thighs, and even around the breasts. No matter how much you exercise or moisturise, skin laxity can sometimes linger, leaving you feeling like you need to cover up instead of celebrating your success.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And the good news is, there are advanced treatments that can help.
Why Does Skin Become Loose or Crepey After Weight Loss?
Skin is made up of collagen and elastin fibres that act like scaffolding, giving it strength, bounce, and elasticity. When we lose weight, especially if the loss is rapid or significant, the skin can struggle to keep up with the body’s changes.
Other factors like ageing, sun exposure, and hormonal changes can further weaken these fibres, making the skin appear saggy or finely wrinkled.
This is where targeted, professional treatments can make all the difference.
Treatments for Loose Skin After Weight Loss
At Soothe, we specialise in natural, non-surgical solutions for skin laxity. We offer three advanced treatments that can be used individually or combined for powerful results:
✨ Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency (RF) uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. It helps tighten existing fibres and improve elasticity, leaving skin feeling firmer and lifted without downtime.
✨ Microneedling
Skinpen Microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural repair process. This encourages new collagen and elastin, improving texture, firmness, and tone. It’s especially effective for fine lines, scars, and crepey skin.
✨ Radiofrequency Microneedling
The best of both worlds: microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy. This dual treatment tightens existing collagen while stimulating new production, making it a powerful option for more advanced laxity after weight loss.
Areas We Can Treat
Our skin-firming treatments can be used across the face and body, including:
Face & neck
Chest and décolleté (including the breast area)
Upper arms
Tummy
Buttocks
Thighs
Knees
Supporting Your Results Naturally
Skin health is about more than one treatment. At Soothe, we believe in a holistic approach:
Exercise & Strength Training
Building lean muscle through strength training provides natural support beneath the skin, helping to improve tone and shape.
Skincare
Using professional-grade products with ingredients like those in our Estime & Sens Slimming & Firming duo can extend and enhance your results by breaking down fat, and firming the skin tissues, keeping skin strong, hydrated, and protected.
(You'll need to create your account to be able to purchase these online.)
Massage Therapy
Massage stimulates circulation and lymphatic flow, helping skin look healthier and more vibrant, while also reducing puffiness and fluid retention.
Realistic Expectations
It’s important to know that treatments for skin laxity are not about further weight loss. Instead, they focus on:
Firming and lifting skin that has become loose
Improving elasticity and bounce
Smoothing crepiness
Enhancing overall skin tone and texture
Results develop gradually as your skin rebuilds collagen and elastin. While these treatments don’t replace surgery, they offer a natural, non-invasive way to look and feel more confident in your skin.
