Noticing crepey or loose skin on your body — especially after weight loss or pregnancy? You’re not alone.

Written By Mike Stevens

As collagen and elastin decline, skin can lose firmness and support. And while most people focus on the face, body skin changes too — often faster than expected.

At Platinum Cosmetics, we offer non-surgical body skin tightening that restores tone, smoothness, and support — without downtime.

What Causes Skin Laxity on the Body?

Body skin laxity can happen due to:

  • Age-related collagen loss

  • Pregnancy or postpartum changes

  • Significant weight loss

  • Sun exposure (especially chest, arms, and hands)

  • Genetics

It often appears as sagging under the arms, loose skin on the stomach or thighs, or creping around the knees or décolletage.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Body Skin Tightening

At our Port Melbourne clinic, we use laser-based technology to gently but effectively firm skin without the need for surgery.

Our go-to? Fotona TightSculpting

This two-step treatment:

  • Targets deeper fat layers with controlled thermal heat (where needed)

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin in the skin to improve tone and tightness

  • Can be used on arms, stomach, thighs, knees, under-chin area and more

  • Requires no needles, incisions, or downtime

A course of treatments (typically 4–6 sessions) yields progressive, natural-looking improvement.

Does It Work on All Skin Types?

Yes — because Fotona allows us to customise settings for your skin tone and concern. It’s suitable for many body types and can be paired with other skin rejuvenation treatments to improve surface texture.

Supportive Skincare for the Body

While body treatments do the heavy lifting, daily skincare plays a role in maintaining results:

  • Exfoliants (like urea or lactic acid) to smooth rough skin

  • Firming lotions with peptides or caffeine for tone

  • SPF on exposed areas (yes, even your décolletage)

  • Hydration to keep skin supple and resilient

You can explore our skincare range for body-friendly options in clinic.

Your skin works best when it’s supported from multiple angles — and that’s why we often combine facials with laser treatments at our Port Melbourne clinic.

If your skin looks flat, tired, or a bit grey — it’s not just you. Dull skin is one of the most common issues we treat.
