Some of us are very self-conscious of our belly skin laxity that we won’t even wear bikinis. Skin laxity often occurs after losing weight or after pregnancy. At Beautique Medical Anti-Aging, we want you to be proud of yourself, and not limit your activities based on any perceived imperfections.
We have several options for your abdomen, including our trademark pending LaTorre Corset Lift. This is a tummy tuck alternative that is a multi-modality approach created by our own Nurse Shara and our team of medical experts.
What Is the LaTorre Corset Lift?
Our technique has been perfect and is amazing for stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Our experts will help non-surgically rejuvenate, tighten, or eliminate your pooch, cellulite, loose/lax skin or stretch marks in the abdominal area. We target not only the skin, but deeper layers of fat.
“The LaTorre Corset Lift for the abs procedure is performed to tighten the abdominal skin and enhance its texture and tone. The intended specific design and placement of treatment modality is deliberately done to increate tightening around the umbilicus as a focal point of strength and tapering out just like a well-constructed web-like structure.”
You will notice a difference immediately and significant results are seen as early as 4-6 weeks.
How Does a LaTorre Corset Lift Work?
How does this work? The PDO threads inserted into the skin can immediately tighten the skin, and even better, over time, these threads help stimulate the production of collagen as the threads slowly breakdown.
We can take you to the next level by combing this procedure with other body contouring procedures. Let’s remove stubborn fatty pockets with CoolSculpting.
What Are PDO Threads?
PDO threads are a unique minimally-invasive cosmetic treatment that can be used virtually anywhere on the body, including the face. PDO threads are made out of polydioxanone threads, a material similar to the sutures used in medical settings such as surgeries. PDO threads have the ability to interact with proteins and compounds in the sub-dermal layers of the body, which enables them to be metabolized and absorbed over time.
The general idea of PDO threads is to physically lift your skin into a higher position. Placing PDO threads is done through a special needle, which is inserted into targeted areas of your body so allow the PDO thread to hook into sub-dermal tissue. The PDO thread is then pulled and connected to a higher portion of the skin, which helps tighten the appearance of your skin. PDO threads can be used for Corset Lifts in a number of ways, including:
- Underarms
- Chest
- Back
- Breasts
- Abdomen
- Hips
Our experts will help you determine the best approach for your treatment so you get the coveted corset-like results you want. In addition to PDO threads, we may also recommend other body contouring or fat reduction treatments to slim your shape and improve the effectiveness of your treatment results.
Are PDO Threads the Only Option for Skin Laxity in the Abdomen?
No! Our medical antiaging nurses are also going to assess you, and select the best modality for your body and antiaging goals. In fact, we have several choices now to combat abdomen skin laxity including EMTONE (decreases cellulite and tightens skin) and the EMSCULPT NEO (increases muscle, decreases fat, and tightens skin). Our nurses may recommend a combination of modalities to give you the best results!
Do PDO Threads Increase Collagen Production?
The interesting thing about PDO treatments is the fact that that serve as a double purpose. In addition to lifting and tightening your skin, PDO threads also help increase collagen production in the skin. This is because PDO threads interact with sub-dermal tissues and will stimulate the production of collagen over the course of several weeks.
Collagen production is essential for tightening and lifting skin because collagen is the main protein in your skin that is responsible for supporting skin structure. As we age, the level of collagen in our skin begins to slow in production, which leads to your skin loosening and losing its elasticity, or the ability to snap back into place. This is particularly true for those who have undergone significant weight loss and require more collagen to help skin take a tighter shape.
What Are the Benefits of a LaTorre Corset Lift?
There are numerous benefits for a LaTorre Lift, whether it’s for the face or the body. For example, this treatment is highly customizable to your exact needs. In fact, we take the time to go over all of your appearance goals and expectations to tailor your treatment to your exact needs so that you can love the way your body looks.
Non-Surgical
The fact that this is a non-surgical treatment is very important for patients who are not medically qualified for body contouring plastic surgery or who do not want to undergo extensive downtime after a cosmetic procedure. Non-surgical treatments are generally safer for patients, pose fewer risks of scarring as a result of treatment, and are easier to recover from.
Natural-Looking Results
You can expect natural-looking results from your treatment. Our experts make every effort to ensure that your results appear natural, meaning they are appropriate for your body type, age, and health. This is particularly because of the PDO threads used in your treatment, which lift and tighten skin from the inside out.
Better-Fitting Apparel
Many patients who have recently lost a significant amount of weight are dismayed to learn that clothes do not magically fit better after all that weight loss – and one of the main reasons is excess loose skin left behind by weight loss. When your skin is tightened from a Corset Lift, you will be able to fit in clothing of all sorts much easier.
More Body Confidence
Hand-in-hand with being happy with the way you look is a boost in your overall body confidence. The benefit of feeling beautiful is one that cannot be overstated. Many people are much more satisfied with their overall life outlook and wellbeing when they are confident about their appearance, particularly those who have worked so hard to lose weight.
Who Are Good Candidates?
Good candidates for this treatment include both patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and patients who are experiencing skin laxity on the body as a result of the natural aging process. Women who have given birth and have skin laxity in the belly may also be good candidates for this treatment. A consultation will determine if this is the right treatment plan for you.
