Radiofrequency tummy tightening treatment on the stomach at Neo Elegance Skin Clinic, Derby
The concern

Why skin loosens

Firm skin depends on two proteins in the dermis: collagen, which gives strength, and elastin, which lets skin spring back. When these are stretched or produced more slowly, skin starts to look loose, crepey or softer than it used to.

  • PregnancyThe skin across the stomach stretches quickly, and the fibres that hold it firm do not always fully recover.
  • Weight changeLosing weight leaves skin that was stretched with less to support, especially around the tummy, thighs and bottom.
  • AgeFrom our mid twenties, the body makes less collagen each year, so skin gradually thins and loses its bounce.
The brain-skin connection

The neuroscience of firm skin

Your skin and nervous system work together to protect and repair it. The same signals that respond to stress and heat also influence how well your skin builds and holds collagen.

  1. Stress hormones break collagen downLong-term stress raises glucocorticoid hormones such as cortisol, which slow collagen production and speed up its breakdown.1
  2. Skin reads heat as a repair signalControlled warmth in the dermis prompts the cells that make collagen to remodel collagen and elastic fibres in the weeks after treatment.2
  3. Comfort mattersHeat-sensing nerves in the skin tell us when warmth tips into discomfort, so we keep every treatment in a comfortable, therapeutic range.

How this shapes your treatment: we monitor temperature throughout, build treatments into a steady course, and look at stress, sleep and lifestyle as part of your consultation.

The treatment

Radiofrequency skin tightening

A comfortable, non-surgical treatment for loose skin on the tummy and legs.

How it works

Gentle heat, deeper in the skin

Radiofrequency energy warms the dermis, the layer beneath the surface where collagen and elastin sit. This prompts the skin to remodel these fibres over the following weeks, so stomach skin tightening builds gradually and naturally. It feels like a warm massage, with the temperature monitored throughout.

  • 30 minute sessions
  • Course of 6 to 8, every 2 weeks

FAQs

Tummy tightening questions

Does radiofrequency tighten loose tummy skin?

Radiofrequency gently heats the deeper layer of the skin, which prompts collagen and elastic fibres to remodel over the following weeks. Many people see firmer, smoother-looking skin over a course. Results vary with age, skin quality and how much laxity there is, which we assess at your consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need a course of treatments to see a visible difference, usually six to eight sessions spaced two weeks apart, with maintenance sessions afterwards. Your plan is set at your body consultation.

How much is tummy tightening in Derby?

Tummy tightening and leg tightening each start from £50 per 30 minute session. Every plan begins with a 30 minute body consultation for £10.

Is there any downtime?

No. Skin may look slightly pink and feel warm for a short time afterwards, and you can return to your normal day straight away.

Can it help loose skin after pregnancy?

Yes, radiofrequency can help improve the appearance of mild to moderate loose skin after pregnancy. We recommend waiting until you have recovered and finished breastfeeding, and we check your suitability at your consultation.

Will it help loose skin after weight loss?

It can improve the firmness of mild to moderate loose skin after weight change. Significant excess skin may need a medical opinion, and we will always tell you honestly what to expect.

Is radiofrequency skin tightening painful?

Most people find it comfortable and relaxing. It feels like a warm massage, and the temperature is monitored throughout.

Who is it not suitable for?

Radiofrequency is not suitable during pregnancy, or for people with a pacemaker or metal implants in the treatment area. We go through your medical history at your consultation.
