A minimally invasive treatment for mild to moderate abdominal skin laxity and contour — tailored after consultation.
Abs Tight is a minimally invasive body contouring procedure for selected patients with mild to moderate abdominal skin laxity, using targeted subdermal tissue heating.
After local anaesthesia, a specialised cannula delivers controlled thermal energy beneath the skin to support tissue contraction and collagen remodelling. PLLA, hyaluronic acid or Morpheus8 may be added where appropriate.
Gradual, long-lasting changes: effects may last several years depending on individual factors, but no duration or outcome can be guaranteed.
SkinTight™ uses controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to target selected tissue planes, supporting tissue contraction and collagen remodelling.
Abs Tight is performed under local anaesthesia and differs from traditional excisional surgery. Recovery, risks and outcomes vary and are discussed during consultation.
It may be considered for selected adults with mild to moderate abdominal laxity following weight fluctuations, pregnancy or ageing.
It is different from abdominoplasty or liposuction. Suitability depends on anatomy, skin quality, medical history and goals.
Loose abdominal skin is often only part of the picture, so we look beneath it with ultrasound before Abs Tight begins. After pregnancy or weight loss, the abdominal wall underneath may also have changed: the rectus muscles can separate (diastasis recti), small umbilical hernias can develop, and the fat layer can become uneven.
Your doctor measures the thickness of the skin and fat, checks the midline for muscle separation or a hernia, and maps the area so the cannula works in the correct subcutaneous plane. Ultrasound is a recognised method for measuring the gap between the rectus muscles and diagnosing diastasis. If a finding such as a significant hernia needs a different approach, it is discussed openly before any treatment. During and after the procedure, the scan helps confirm treatment depth and, at review, check for fluid collections such as seroma.
Where clinically appropriate, injections of PLLA (polylactic acid) may be used to stimulate intensive collagen production, alongside hyaluronic acid to provide deep tissue hydration and structural support.
Morpheus8 technology may also be considered to further trigger collagen production and tissue remodelling, subject to individual assessment.
Recovery varies between patients, and downtime may be minimal rather than absent.
After the procedure, you will receive individual aftercare instructions to support recovery.
Every treatment is tailored to your anatomy, skin quality and goals after a medical consultation.
Suitability is confirmed only after an in-person medical consultation. Results cannot be guaranteed.
We assess the abdominal area, discuss your concerns and goals, and review your medical history.
Additional treatments such as Morpheus8 may be considered where appropriate.
Local anaesthesia is used, then a specialised cannula delivers controlled thermal energy within selected tissue planes. PLLA, hyaluronic acid or Morpheus8 may be added.
Temporary swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness may occur. A compression garment may be recommended depending on the treatment performed.
Early changes may be visible, with further change over several months as collagen remodels. Follow-up appointments may be recommended.
Individual results vary.
Abs Tight may support gradual changes in skin firmness and definition in appropriately selected patients, including:
The appearance of mild to moderate abdominal skin laxity.
Selected areas where clinically appropriate after assessment.
May help improve skin quality and elasticity.
Abdominal skin firmness in appropriately selected patients.
Potential benefits and treatment considerations. The degree and duration of improvement vary between patients.

Abs Tight and a tummy tuck are different procedures. Abs Tight is minimally invasive and uses local anaesthesia and a cannula-based technique, while a tummy tuck involves surgical removal and repositioning of tissue. The expected degree of change, recovery, potential risks and suitability differ and should be assessed individually.
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 healing and collagen remodelling continue. The timing and degree of improvement vary between patients.
The duration of any changes following Abs Tight is not fixed and varies between patients. Factors can include individual anatomy, skin quality, ageing, lifestyle, healing response and the treatment performed. A specific duration of effect cannot be guaranteed.
Any future or maintenance treatment should be considered following clinical review and based on individual skin characteristics, treatment response and goals.
Potential risks and side effects can include swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, altered sensation, contour irregularities, thermal injury, infection, scarring and reactions to any additional products used during treatment. The individual risks and suitability of the procedure are discussed during consultation.
After the Abs Tight procedure, certain activities such as strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs 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.
Abs Tight 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 safety. Suitability is assessed individually during consultation.
There is no fixed schedule for additional or maintenance treatment. Any further treatment should be considered following clinical review and depends on individual response, skin characteristics, ageing and treatment goals.
Abs Tight may be combined with other treatments in selected patients where clinically appropriate. Morpheus8 or other procedures may be considered as part of an individual treatment plan. Combination treatment can affect potential benefits, risks and recovery, and each component should be assessed individually.
At consultation we assess your skin and goals, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
