A minimally invasive treatment for abdominal fibrosis, irregularities and skin laxity after liposuction — assessed individually.
SkinTight™ is a minimally invasive treatment that may be considered for selected patients with abdominal fibrosis, tissue irregularities or skin laxity following liposuction.
Controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered through a specialised cannula within selected tissue planes to address fibrotic tissue and support tissue remodelling.
Not a permanent solution: changes may be long-lasting, but duration depends on individual factors, healing response and lifestyle. No specific result can be guaranteed.
SkinTight™ uses RF energy to deliver controlled heat within selected tissue planes, supporting tissue remodelling and gradual changes in texture and firmness.
Where clinically appropriate, PLLA may stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid may support hydration and structure. Morpheus8 may also be considered for skin laxity.
Changes may develop gradually as tissues heal and remodel, and the degree of improvement varies between patients.
SkinTight™ differs from surgical and other approaches; the right treatment depends on clinical findings, risks, alternatives and limitations.
Post-lipo fibrosis can be felt with the hands, but only a scan shows how deep and how widespread it is, so ultrasound guides each of our fibrosis treatments. Hard lumps, ridges or tethered skin show that fibrosis is present. Before treatment, your doctor scans the abdomen to locate fibrotic bands and irregular areas, measure the remaining fat layer and distinguish fibrosis from other causes of lumps, such as fluid collections (seroma) or residual filler.
This map guides where, and at what depth, SkinTight™ energy is delivered. During the procedure, real-time imaging helps keep the cannula in the intended plane, and at follow-up the same scan can be compared to assess how the tissue is remodelling over time.
Where clinically appropriate, PLLA (polylactic acid) may be injected to stimulate intensive collagen production, alongside hyaluronic acid to provide deep tissue hydration and structural support.
Complementary treatments such as radiofrequency (RF), Morpheus8 and skin-rejuvenation techniques such as laser therapy may further support changes in fat reduction, skin tightness and overall skin quality where clinically appropriate.
Repeat or additional treatment may be required, and complete resolution or prevention of recurrence cannot be guaranteed.
The plan is based on individual clinical findings and may address fibrosis, laxity and contour irregularities where appropriate.
Suitability is confirmed only after an in-person medical consultation. Outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
We assess the abdominal area, review your medical history and discuss your concerns and goals.
Benefits, risks, limitations and recovery are explained before suitability is assessed.
Local anaesthesia is used, then a radiofrequency cannula delivers controlled thermal energy within selected tissue planes. PLLA, hyaluronic acid or Morpheus8 may be considered.
Temporary swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness may occur. A compression garment may be recommended for a period set by your practitioner.
Early changes may be visible, with further change over several months as tissues heal and remodel. Additional treatment may be required.
Individual results vary.
Suitability depends on clinical findings, anatomy, medical history and goals. Concerns that may be considered include:
Selected areas of fibrotic tissue and related contour irregularities.
The appearance of mild to moderate abdominal skin laxity.
Selected deposits where clinically appropriate after assessment.
Selected contour or texture irregularities after liposuction.
After treatment, changes in firmness, texture and contour may develop gradually. Recovery and outcomes vary, and follow-up may be recommended.
Everything patients usually ask before booking a fibrosis treatment consultation. Can’t find your answer? Our team will help.
SkinTight™ uses a minimally invasive, cannula-based radiofrequency approach. Other treatments for post-liposuction fibrosis use different techniques and may have different indications, risks and recovery requirements. The appropriate option depends on individual clinical findings.
Local anaesthesia is used to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Sensations vary between patients and may include pressure, warmth or discomfort. Temporary swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness may occur following treatment, and recovery varies individually.
Some patients may notice early changes following treatment, although swelling can initially affect the appearance of the treated area. Further changes may develop gradually over several months as tissues heal and remodel. The timing and degree of improvement vary between patients.
The duration of improvement is not fixed and varies between patients. It depends on the extent of fibrosis, individual healing, tissue characteristics, lifestyle and the treatment performed. Further treatment may be required in some cases.
Potential risks and side effects can include swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, bleeding, altered sensation, contour irregularities, thermal injury, infection, scarring and reactions to any additional products used during treatment. Individual risks and suitability are discussed during consultation.
After treatment, strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs and other activities may need to be avoided for a period advised by your practitioner. Follow the individual aftercare instructions provided to support recovery and help manage potential complications.
Treatment may be unsuitable or require additional assessment in people with active infection or inflammation, open wounds, impaired healing, uncontrolled medical conditions, relevant allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or other factors that may affect treatment suitability.
Return to work varies depending on the extent of treatment, individual recovery and the type of work performed. Some patients may return to non-strenuous activities after a short recovery period, while others may require longer.
Fibrosis treatment may be combined with other procedures in selected patients where clinically appropriate. Treatments such as Morpheus8 or other skin-focused procedures may be considered following assessment. Combination treatment can affect potential benefits, risks and recovery, and each component should be assessed individually.
At consultation we assess your concerns and goals, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
