“Over the last 24 years of my specialising in skin tightening and cellulite I have seen hundreds of slim women with skin laxity, usually due to weaker connective tissue but also often due to chronic, strict dieting or yo-yo dieting. The solution is a diet high in protein and polyphenols, lots of exercise and, for faster results, a course of deep tissue radiofrequency treatments.”

Skin laxity in slim women
Skin looseness in slim women occurs mainly due to two factors:
Genetics: Slim people in general tend to have more loose connective tissue. This means better flexibility but also more skin looseness. In the younger years this connective tissue looseness goes unnoticed. But as we get older, and collagen levels start to decline, skin laxity becomes more obvious.
Strict dieting or yo-yo dieting: Many people manage to stay slim only with lots of dietary sacrifice, which usually translates to very low protein intake. As collagen and elastin are proteins and need to be replenished continuously, lack of protein equates to lack of collagen and consequent skin laxity. A better option would be to maintain slimness primarily with exercise and also ensure adequate protein intake at all times (about 1g of protein per kg of body weight, per day).
Lack of exercise: Genetics and low calorie diet can indeed keep you slim but for skin tightness impactful exercise is essential (see more below). No exercise = skin laxity. It’s that simple.
What else can slim women and men do to maintain skin firmness?
A diet rich in polyphenols and vitamin C, which assist in collagen protection and synthesis, is also essential
Resistance exercise, impactful exercise (such as walking, running, almost all sports etc), swimming and vibration plate training are all great ways to ensure skin firmness. Unfortunately, static exercises, such as pilates and yoga, don’t stimulate skin firming, because they do not provide tissues with the vibration needed to stimulate fibroblast (collagen cell) function.
The above are great for maintenance, prevention and slow improvement (i.e. results in months or years). For fast results (i.e. results weeks or months), the best possible technology is deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency (the all hyped up HIFU and RF microneedling technologies work by literally burning the skin at 60-90°C in the jhope that it will regenerate, so they are not recommended).
For extreme skin laxity the best solution is surgery (thigh lift, abdominoplasty, arm lift etc). However, extensive scars and other dangers of surgery should be considered before opting for skin tightening/lifting surgery. For non extreme skin laxity deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency remains the treatment of choice.
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
