How to Tighten Loose Skin Due to Weight Loss or Aging with Shino Bay
June 13, 2024
Aging is a natural process by which we are all affected. Over our lives, our skin loses elasticity, or its ability to keep its original form and resilience.
Similarly, when we lose significant weight, our skin also becomes loose, whether it is exercising, changing your diet, trying non-invasive body contouring, or opting for surgery.
At Shino Bay, we are dedicated to offering non-surgical and minimally invasive skin lifting and tightening treatments that produce effective results. These treatments will help you to holistically enjoy the rewards of your weight loss journey so you can bask in the benefits of all your hard work and to slow down the aging process!
In this post, you will learn the best treatments to help you on how to lift and tighten loose skin.
How to Tighten Loose Skin after Weight Loss or From Aging
What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is a great option for improving mild to moderate loose skin, particularly after weight loss. Using focused ultrasound energy to target deeper skin layers, and with the ability to visualize the exact depths, this procedure creates a lifting effect and encourages collagen production to firm the skin.
Ultherapy offers targeted, multi-layered treatment and stands out for being non-invasive, which means no incisions or needles are involved, and the treatment is tolerable.
It particularly focuses on addressing loose skin on the face, neck, and décolletage — these are common areas of concern for many patients.
Ultherapy is fantastic for giving your skin a refreshed, tighter and lifted appearance with little or no downtime, as compared to the recovery of a surgical or invasive procedure. Collagen and elastin will begin to regenerate over the next 3 to 6 months and can last well over a year in some patients.
How do you maximize Ultherapy results?
You can maximize your results by booking complementary treatments that will enhance Ultherapy’s results, such as restoring volume loss in areas that have been tightened by Ultherapy. Bioregenerative treatments, like Sculptra and Renuva, as well as fillers can beautifully enhance and contour your features.
It is recommended to get Ultherapy once every 12 to 18 months.
What is the success rate of Ultherapy?
Generally, those with mild laxity are happy with their Ultherapy treatments. It is a gradual change that might not be seen for a couple of months but becomes prominent six months after treatment.

What is Thermage?
Thermage is another non-invasive treatment to help tighten your skin, particularly after weight loss. This approach uses radiofrequency (RF) energy only to stimulate collagen production, improving the appearance of sagging skin. The treatment is generally well-tolerated with very little downtime, so it’s perfect if you’re juggling a hectic schedule.
You might see some immediate tightening effects, but the full results usually take a few months (around two to six) to fully develop as your skin keeps producing more collagen.
Thermage treatment is versatile and can be used to tighten skin on nearly any part of the body.
How fast do you see Thermage results?
Thermage results vary but generally, initial improvement can be seen immediately after the treatment.
But you should start noticing the full effects of Thermage over the next two to six months as your body continues to produce new collagen. Your skin will tighten and improve in texture and firmness during this period.
How fast do you see Thermage results?
Although results may be seen almost immediately after one treatment, you may need more Thermage sessions depending on factors like how loose your skin is, what results you want and how your skin responds.
While some may achieve their goals with a single session, most benefit from multiple treatments (12 to 18 months apart) to sustain results. During your consultation, we will assess your specific needs and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
