Flabby, sagging abdominal skin is a frequent consequence of pregnancy or rapid weight loss. Until recently, in the solution of this problem there was no alternative to plastic surgery.
However, the operation is a very serious intervention, with a long recovery period and high cost.
Changes leading to loss of skin elasticity
The so-called skeleton of the skin forms collagen fibers, which constitute about 70% of the dermis and form a three-dimensional network in it, serving as support for various cells and structures.
The main function of collagen fibers is to ensure the strength of the tissues, they are slightly extensible and very strong to break.
Over time, as well as under the influence of solar radiation or prolonged excessive stretching of tissues (pregnancy, weight gain), collagen fibers lose their normal structure, thicken and stretch. The elastic fibers, proteoglycans, and the water composition of the skin also undergo changes. All this leads to the fact that the skin stretches, loses elasticity, becomes thin and dry.
RF-lift Exilis-Elite
Laser tummy tuck by this method is absolutely safe, exposure is performed only in the deeper layers of the skin, and has no systemic action.
The device Excilis affects the skin due to the combined use of radio frequency and ultrasound. Deep layers of the skin warm up and the following processes are started:
- Reduction of collagen fibers;
- Stimulation of fibroblast activity (cells that produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, etc.);
- Activation of reparative (recovery) processes.
How is the procedure Exilis Elite performed?
The procedure is quite comfortable for the patient and does not require anesthesia. A special oil is applied to the skin. During the procedure, the patient feels warm. The tummy tuck takes no more than 40 minutes. Due to the fact that skin surface damage does not occur, after treatment there is no evidence of an effect other than improving its properties.
The effect manifests itself during the treatment, the skin is noticeably tightened and contracted.
Within a few months, due to the increased activity of fibroblasts, the synthesis of new collagen and elastin, hyaluronic acid, the appearance of the skin is getting better and better.Tummy Tuck by Beautytek

Injection techniques
We also use injection techniques: mesotherapy and biorevitalization. Hyaluronic acid introduced during the biorevitalization procedure significantly improves the structural properties of the skin, its elasticity and turgor, and is also almost always used in the protocols for the treatment of striae (stretch marks).
Various cocktails for mesotherapy, depending on the composition, improve blood circulation in the skin, have a lifting effect, have a very good lipolytic effect. The application of these techniques in a complex, correctly designed scheme, depending on the physiological characteristics of the organism, allows to achieve very good results.

Laser cosmetology appeared at the end XX century. Its birth began with the of the invention of the laser. Laser beams are well accustomed and have proven themselves with the best hand. Their use in cosmetology and still widely and effectively.
Application of the laser is very diverse: with its help produced skin rejuvenation of the face and abdomen, removal of unwanted body hair, moles, scars and tattoos.
Modern laser cosmetology made a decisive step forward, thanks to the effective use of laser technology.
What is a laser tummy tuck?
Laser tummy tuck is a non-invasive method of elimination of defects, updates epidermis and lifting the skin of the abdomen using a pulsed laser light. The laser procedure eliminates stretch marks, flabbiness and sagging of abdominal skin, evens postoperative scars, improves texture and elasticity of tissues. Effect of laser rejuvenation is achieved by controlled heating of the dermis, which leads to compaction of the existing collagen fibers and synthesis of young collagen-elastin structures. Laser rejuvenation of the abdomen can be combined with myostimulation, lipolytic mesotherapy, liposuction and abdominoplasty.
How is laser tummy tuck performed?
A tummy tuck is performed using modern laser technology “Fraxel Asclepion”. It allows you to:
- smooth out wrinkles
- eliminate skin pigmentation
- eliminate stretch marks
- flatten scars
- reduce pore size
- improve the texture and quality of the skin
- stimulate reparative properties of the skin
In comparison with other types of laser peeling after this laser treatment does not require anesthesia, there is no post-operative period, and it can be used for all skin types.
The effect of laser tummy tuck procedure
Fractional photothermolysis – it really is a completely new method for safe and effective impact on the fabric. The procedure does not produce open wounds and does not require any recovery time. The results of laser tummy tuck are predictable and ensure elimination of pigmented lesions (such as solar lentiginosis) and smoothing of wrinkles, as well as increased synthesis of collagen – the skin aging process is effectively suspended. After the first procedure significantly improves oval of abdomen and general condition of the skin. Laser abdominoplasty is also used as a recovery procedure after plastic surgery.
Laser tummy tuck is a new, safe and highly effective method of treatment of the effects of photoaging. The laser beam with a special nozzle is divided into multiple fractions, which retain a given energy (fractional photothermolysis).
For this purpose, the skin is irradiated with regions (like a checkerboard) size of about 100 microns with gaps in therebetween 250-500 microns. Tissue is recovering from a fractional injury without much damage to the epidermis which is observed, for example, after the traditional dermabrasion.
Under the influence of the laser creates microscopic zones (areas) of coagulated tissue. These areas heal within a few weeks, but the appearance of the skin is not changed.
The purpose of this treatment method of skin is not in the global influence on the target tissue or specifically on dermis, but rather in a the damage (trauma) of a very small proportion of skin to be treated and coagulate of tissue columns (columns) with a diameter of 70 to 100 microns that pass through the epidermis and deeper, reaching the dermis (in a checkerboard pattern).
Even despite the coagulation of epidermis in these micro thermal zones, it is not damaged, and thus does not remain open wound. A significant amount of normal skin that surrounds microthermal area is abundant source of cells needed for healing. Within a few weeks after treatment, there is a process displacement of coagulated tissue and its replacement with new healed tissue.
Since this process is not visible with the naked eye, in a patient is not disturbed his daily activities. Along the way with multi-processing (quadruple treatment every 2 weeks) by phased method, occurs substitution of mostly treated skin surface. Each treatment with this laser considerably softens wrinkles, scars, removes spots and vascular lesions (violations).
The effect of the interaction with skin
The wavelength of middle infrared regions of the spectrum which very well absorbed by intracellular and extracellular water contained in the skin the same way as it happens in work of the sanding (rejuvenation) lasers.
Deeper penetration of light into the skin layer occur in the case of carbon dioxide (CO2) and erbium, yttrium-aluminum-grenade (Er: YAG) lasers. Each laser pulse that penetrates into the skin creates a column of coagulated tissue, extending from the surface of the epidermis and reaching up to dermis. The energy density of each pulse is below the ablation threshold, thereby does not cause evaporation of tissue. Field of the exposure (irradiation) 50-70 micron forms micro thermal zone with diameter of about 100 microns, with increasing penetration depth from 350 to 750 microns, depending on the capacity of the energy of each pulse.
Fraxel laser treatment procedure for tummy tuck
Duration of treatment: from 15 to 30 minutes.
For maximum results, the specialists of the clinic recommend pursue a course of therapy in series of 4 – 6 treatments with 2-week intervals.
A tummy tuck procedure with a laser is painless and does not require recovery. A slight redness after the procedure passes within half an hour and you can safely return to its usual rhythm of life, without fear that traces of medical intervention will be visible to others.
Laser tummy tuck procedure can be used in combination with a laser peeling, mesotherapy, “beauty injections”, contouring plasty and chemical peels. Such an integrated approach can improve and prolong the effect of laser tummy tuck and make your skin perfect at any age.
