What is Loose Skin?
Loose skin, also known as skin laxity, refers to the loss of elasticity in the skin, resulting in a sagging or drooping appearance. Skin laxity occurs mainly due to the loss of collagen and elastin.
Collagen makes up 70-80% of the skin’s weight and gives it strength and structure. On the other hand, elastin is a small part of the skin’s dermis but plays a key role in its elasticity. Together, both collagen and elastin are the building blocks of skin elasticity.
What Are The Common Causes of Loose Skin?
Loose skin occurs mainly due to the natural process of ageing. Our skin loses 1% of collagen every year after age 20. For women, during the first 5 years of menopause, we lose up to 30%, followed by 2% each year thereafter.
Other common causes of loose skin include:
What Areas Are Affected by Loose Skin?
Any area of your body can be affected by loose skin. However, more commonly affected areas of loose skin include:
Loose Skin Treatment Options in Singapore
Whether you’re looking for non-invasive solutions or more intensive treatment there is a wide range of treatments for loose skin catered just to you. At illumia, we focus on providing safe and non-surgical skin tightening treatments, ranging from radiofrequency to derma fillers.
Radiofrequency Therapy
Radiofrequency treatments use radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening loose skin. It prompts the body’s natural healing response for firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Our list of radiofrequency treatments can tighten loose skin under the chin, under arms, belly and thighs.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, generating heat and triggering collagen production. This non-invasive treatment effectively lifts and tightens loose skin in the face and belly by stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes, resulting in smoother and more toned skin.
Laser Therapy
By using concentrated light energy to penetrate deep into the skin, laser therapy stimulates collagen production and enhances skin texture and elasticity effectively. This treatment can be tailored to different skin types and areas, making it an excellent option for loose-face skin treatment in Singapore, resulting in firmer, tighter skin.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters, often containing hyaluronic acid, are injected into the skin to improve hydration, elasticity, and overall texture. By replenishing lost moisture and stimulating collagen synthesis, skin boosters help tighten loose skin from within, resulting in a revitalised and rejuvenated appearance.
Derma Fillers
Dermal fillers plump and tighten loose skin, especially on the face and hands. They use hyaluronic acid to add volume, stimulate collagen, and restore firmness, enhancing skin elasticity and suppleness with natural-looking results and minimal downtime. At Illumia Medical, we offer a full list of dermal filler treatments to meet your aesthetic goals.

Understanding Postpartum Body Changes
After childbirth, many women experience significant changes in their bodies. These changes can include loose postpartum skin, excess belly fat, and urinary incontinence that become much tougher to address with the responsibility of a child. Understanding these postpartum body changes is crucial for addressing them effectively, with the right treatment plan catered just for you.
Loose skin is a common postpartum concern, especially around the abdomen and breasts. Approximately 90% of women experience postpartum loose skin, with about 40% experiencing it even six months after childbirth. It occurs due to stretching skin during pregnancy, which may not fully retract after childbirth.
Postpartum belly fat is another common issue. Nearly 90% of women experience increased belly fat after pregnancy compared to before. Losing stubborn fat deposits, particularly in the abdominal and hip areas, can be challenging following pregnancy.
Urinary incontinence, or involuntary urine leakage, is a prevalent issue among postpartum women.
It is reported that almost 1 in 3 women face postpartum urinary incontinence three months after giving birth. It can occur due to weakened pelvic floor muscles as a result of childbirth.

FATS
What Is Stubborn Fat?
Stubborn fat refers to fat deposits particularly resistant to diet and exercise. It is subcutaneous fats (fats under the skin) that commonly accumulate in areas like the belly, thighs, and lower abdomen. Despite a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise, these fat pockets can be challenging to eliminate.
Causes of Stubborn Fat
What causes fat to be stubborn? And why is losing stubborn fat so difficult? Before jumping into the factors, it is first important to know that stubborn fats are physiologically different from normal fats.
Fat cells contain various receptors, including alpha-2 and beta-2 receptors. Alpha-2 receptors hinder fat breakdown, while beta-2 receptors accelerate fat burn. Since stubborn fats have a higher ratio of alpha-2 receptors, they are much harder to burn and eliminate.
Several factors contribute to stubborn fats:

Whether targeting stubborn belly fat, thighs, or arm fat, our tailored solutions, based on advanced science and technology, are designed to help you attain your desired body shape effortlessly.
Cryolipolysis (CoolSculpting)
Cryolipolysis, also known as CoolSculpting, targets stubborn fats by subjecting them to subzero temperatures, causing the fat cells to freeze and break down. This process is offered through treatments such as:
Ultrasound Fat Reduction
Ultrasound Fat Reduction utilises sound waves to break down fat cells, promoting fat loss in various body areas including the body, arms, and legs. Treatments such as Prime Sculpt Pro and Prime Body Sculpt offer this technology for individuals aiming to lose stubborn belly fat.
Radiofrequency Lipolysis
Radiofrequency Lipolysis utilises radiofrequency energy to target fat and tighten the skin, effectively addressing stubborn belly fat and lower belly fat in Singapore, along with other areas of concern. Treatments like Legacy BodySculpt, Prime Sculpt Pro, and ONDA Sculpt are among the most effective stubborn lower belly and thigh fat removal treatments in Singapore.
Electromagnetic Fat Reduction and Muscle Toning
Electromagnetic Fat Reduction and Muscle Toning, utilising high-intensity electromagnetic fields (HIFEM), induces supramaximal muscle contractions leading to fat burn. Treatments such as TeslaFORTE and Illumia Sculpt focus on stubborn fat areas like bottoms, legs, back, and abdominals, providing a comprehensive solution for those seeking to lose stubborn fats while building muscles.
Treatment Solutions
The most effective treatment varies depending on individual needs. Our body analysts will combine various treatments to tailor a suitable plan for you, ensuring you achieve your aesthetic goals seamlessly.
