Skin Tightening for Loose Skin in Surbiton
Skin tightening at our Surbiton clinic uses SmartSculpt Pro radiofrequency to warm the deeper layers of the skin and encourage new collagen, helping loose skin on the tummy, arms, thighs and neck look and feel firmer over a course of treatment. There are no needles and no downtime, and single sessions start at £40.
It is designed for mild to moderate loose skin, the kind that often follows weight loss, pregnancy or simply getting older. We will tell you honestly at consultation whether your skin is likely to respond, or whether you would be better off speaking to a surgeon.
Why Skin Becomes Loose
Skin stays firm thanks to two proteins, collagen and elastin. When skin is stretched for a long time, by weight gain or pregnancy, those fibres can be damaged, and skin does not always spring back once the stretch is gone. From our mid twenties we also make less collagen each year, and sun, smoking and rapid weight loss speed that up.
More people are now asking about loose skin after losing weight quickly with weight loss injections. The cause is the same: the skin has had less time to adapt to the change underneath. Read loose skin after weight loss injections: what actually helps.
How Radiofrequency Skin Tightening Works
SmartSculpt Pro delivers radiofrequency energy that gently heats the deeper layers of the skin. That warmth causes existing collagen fibres to contract and prompts the skin to produce new collagen over the following weeks. The result, over a course, is skin that feels firmer and looks smoother.
During a session the practitioner moves a handpiece over the area. It feels like deep warmth, and skin temperature is monitored throughout. Sessions take 20 to 60 minutes and there is no recovery time.
What Skin Tightening Can and Cannot Do
It can improve crepey or slightly loose skin, soften the look of mild sagging, and help skin feel firmer on the tummy, upper arms, inner thighs, knees and under the chin.
It cannot remove large folds of hanging skin, such as the apron of skin some people are left with after very significant weight loss. That needs a surgical opinion, and we will tell you if we think that is where you are.

When to Start After Weight Loss or Pregnancy
Skin tightening works best once your weight has settled. If you are still losing weight, your skin is still changing, and it makes sense to wait until you are near your goal and stable.
After pregnancy, give your body time to recover and wait until you have finished breastfeeding. If you had a caesarean section, make sure the scar has fully healed and you have been signed off by your doctor or midwife. Read mummy tummy: non surgical options after pregnancy.

Skin Tightening FAQs
Mild to moderate loose skin can often be improved without surgery using radiofrequency treatments such as SmartSculpt Pro, which encourage new collagen. Large folds of hanging skin usually need a surgical opinion.
Some clients notice skin feels firmer after the first few sessions. Because new collagen forms over weeks, the improvement builds over the course and for a while after it finishes.
The new collagen your skin makes is your own, but skin keeps ageing naturally, so firmness will soften again over time. Many clients book occasional top up sessions.
It is usually better to wait until your weight has been stable for a while, because your skin is still changing while you lose weight. We can talk through timing at your consultation.
