After significant weight loss, the skin may show noticeable sagging and loss of firmness. This phenomenon is particularly common in the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and sometimes the face.
Skin, stretched over many years by excess fat volume, has lost some of its elasticity and density. Collagen and elastin, responsible for maintaining skin firmness and tone, have degraded and no longer allow the skin to retract sufficiently.
This phenomenon can affect well-being and self-confidence, even after a successful weight loss journey. At Clinique SkinIn in Brossard, fractional and ablative laser treatments stimulate collagen production and restructure tissues to restore firmer, denser, and smoother skin.
Rapid decrease in fat volume without parallel stimulation of dermal collagen
Natural loss of skin elasticity, accentuated with age

Lack of underlying muscle tone, which no longer adequately supports the skin
Hormonal and genetic factors influencing dermal quality and resistance


Lose weight gradually to allow the skin time to adapt
