Achieving a healthy weight is a great accomplishment. Those patients of yours who have lost excess weight have a lot to look forward to, including a healthier, more active life. However, in many cases dramatic weight loss presents new challenges that could keep patients from fully enjoying the benefits of their weight loss. Skin laxity, sagging skin, and excess skin are common concerns for those who have shed extra weight and typically affects the abdomen, flanks, upper arms, thighs, and even the lower back. The same areas can often hold onto fatty tissue that even diet and exercise might not budge. Cellulite is another common concern.
You can help your patients who have recently transformed their bodies with non-invasive aesthetic treatments to tighten skin and treat those stubborn areas. Here’s how to give them the toned, sculpted look they’re aiming for without resorting to a surgical procedure.
Surgical vs. Non-Invasive Options
For patients who have undergone a dramatic weight transformation, there are both surgical and non-invasive options for resolving sagging skin left after weight loss. However, in many cases, going the surgical route isn’t necessary, and non-invasive treatments can contour the body effectively without the associated cost, downtime, and risk.
Surgical procedures for post-weight loss skin laxity, such as tummy tucks, require significant recovery time, tend to be painful during the healing process, leave a scar, and incur a high cost— which is usually not by covered by insurance as they often count as elective cosmetic procedures.
In contrast, non-invasive aesthetic treatments powered by Venus Concept’s industry-leading medical device technology deliver results with little to no discomfort, no downtime, can be completed over a lunch hour, and are safe for all skin types. For your clients, the benefits are clear.
Non-Invasive Treatments to Complement Weight Loss
Whether your patients want to smoothen leftover cellulite, treat stubborn areas of fatty tissue that diet and exercise won’t budge, tighten sagging skin, or have an all-over contouring effect, Venus Concept has a solution for them.
Skin Tightening & Cellulite Reduction
Both our Venus Versa™ and Venus Legacy™ machines offer skin tightening and cellulite reduction, and also address other common aesthetic concerns that come with weight loss, such as non-surgical circumferential reduction and wrinkle reduction. Their efficacy in treating these issues comes down to the cutting-edge technology powering the (MP)2 applicator available with both devices. Favored by clinicians for its ease of use, versatility, and ergonomic design, the applicator combines Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields with advanced VariPulse™ technology to tighten skin, reduce circumference, and reduce cellulite for a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Additionally, with Venus Legacy™, you can augment your clinic offerings with the popular Trim & Tite™ package, which makes an excellent complementary follow-up to the treatments mentioned above. Trim&Tite™ is a new and effective skin tightening solution that works to ensure patients see superior clinical results quickly and with no downtime, helping them achieve a toned, sculpted appearance even faster.
Non-Invasive Lipolysis Reduction
Even with diet and exercise, stubborn areas like the abdomen and flanks tend to hold onto fatty tissue. With various features to enhance patient comfort, fat reduction treatments from Venus Bliss™ use non-invasive lipolysis, a process that involves using Radio Frequency (RF) energy to gently heat and dissolve hard-to-budge fat cells that tend to accumulate in the thighs, abdomen, and other areas. The device can also address a variety of in-demand body contouring needs including, skin tightening and cellulite reduction. Backed by clinically validated effectiveness, Venus Bliss™ is a comprehensive solution that allows you to deliver results for your patients with no per-treatment usage fees for you as the provider. Your patients will love seeing their slimmer, sleeker silhouette after just a few sessions, with no downtime.
Skin Resurfacing
Common side effects of rapid weight loss include stretch marks, areas of uneven skin texture, and skin dimpling. Venus Viva™ MD is a highly customizable tabletop device that delivers exceptional skin resurfacing results with low downtime and is safe for all shades of skin. Using NanoFractional Radio Frequency (RF) with SmartScan™ technology, Venus Viva™ MD is a fractional resurfacing system that allows customized control of ablation and coagulation for enhanced efficacy in resolving mild to severe skin damage, including stretch marks. Designed with patient satisfaction in mind, it’s an ideal choice for clinicians who are looking for a flexible, powerful skin resurfacing device with a high return on investment. This is also an excellent option for treating scars, should your patients opt for a surgical procedure to remove excess skin after dramatic weight loss.
