Loose or Lax Skin on the Body
Loose body skin can become more noticeable after weight change, pregnancy or ageing. The amount of excess skin, tissue quality and treatment area determine what non-surgical treatment can realistically achieve.
Diagnostic Precision
Mild laxity and significant excess skin are not the same concern.
Before selecting treatment, we assess three key markers:
- Degree of Laxity: Reviews whether the concern is mild crepiness or a larger amount of excess skin.
- Skin Quality: Assesses texture, stretch marks and the resilience of the skin.
- Underlying Fat & Muscle: Reviews whether localised fat or reduced muscle definition also affects the contour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Skin that has been stretched for a long time may not fully retract after fat volume decreases, particularly after major weight loss.
No. Non-surgical treatment may improve selected mild laxity but does not remove large amounts of excess skin.
Some improvement can occur after weight stabilises, but the degree varies.
It may improve selected firmness concerns in some patients, but significant laxity may not respond enough.
Surgical assessment may be appropriate when there is substantial excess skin and the desired correction cannot reasonably be achieved non-surgically..
