Losing weight is a powerful step toward better health, improved energy, and enhanced confidence. But what many people don’t expect is how the skin can change along the way. As the body shrinks, the skin may not always tighten up at the same pace. Sagging, wrinkles, and stretch marks can become more noticeable after significant weight loss. Fortunately, combining your weight loss journey with targeted skin treatments can help you achieve a smoother, more toned appearance.

At Steller Wellness, we offer advanced, non-invasive skin solutions designed to support your transformation and keep you feeling confident every step of the way. Here are some of the best skin treatments to complement your weight loss progress.

1. Alma Accent Prime Skin Tightening

One of the most common concerns after weight loss is loose or sagging skin. Alma Accent Prime is a radiofrequency-based treatment that helps tighten and contour the skin without surgery. By stimulating collagen production deep within the dermis, it helps the skin appear firmer and more elastic. Whether you are dealing with skin laxity on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or neck, this treatment can be tailored to your specific needs.

2. Opus Plasma for Skin Resurfacing

For clients dealing with stretch marks, uneven texture, or fine lines, Opus Plasma is an excellent option. This cutting-edge technology uses fractional plasma energy to stimulate skin regeneration. It can effectively improve skin tone and texture while minimizing signs of aging or damage caused by rapid weight loss. Many clients notice a smoother, more youthful look after just one session.

3. CO2 Laser for Deep Rejuvenation

CO2 laser treatments go a step deeper. This treatment is ideal for those looking to address moderate to severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, sun damage, or prominent stretch marks. CO2 laser technology works by removing outer skin layers and triggering the body's healing response, leading to smoother, tighter skin over time. It is a great choice for areas like the stomach or thighs that may have developed more pronounced skin changes.

4. Alma Duo for Skin Circulation and Tissue Repair

Although commonly known for its use in men’s wellness, Alma Duo also helps improve blood flow and promote tissue repair, making it beneficial for skin health. Improved circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which supports recovery and collagen formation. This can complement other treatments or act as a gentle boost to the body’s natural healing processes.

5. Lymphatic Drainage and Body Contouring

After weight loss, some people experience water retention or struggle with stubborn areas that resist toning. Lymphatic drainage and non-invasive body contouring can assist with sculpting the body and reducing inflammation. These treatments support the body’s detox process and help define your new shape.

6. Customized Skincare Plans

In addition to in-office treatments, customized skincare regimens can enhance your skin’s elasticity and glow. Retinoids, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and firming creams can be recommended based on your skin’s needs. At Steller Wellness, our team can guide you in choosing the right at-home products to support your long-term results.

Timing Your Treatments with Your Weight Loss Progress

It’s important to understand when to start skin treatments during a weight loss journey. For mild skin changes, starting treatment mid-journey can help prevent further sagging. For those with more significant weight loss goals, waiting until weight has stabilized may offer better long-term results. A personalized consultation can help determine the best timeline based on your progress and goals.
