Discover how Renuvion tightens loose skin after GLP-1 weight loss without scars. Dr. John Burns explains this FDA-cleared technology and answers common post-Ozempic body contouring questions.

GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® have revolutionized the way patients achieve substantial weight loss. For many, these treatments have delivered life-changing results — improved health, boosted confidence, and a slimmer figure.

But rapid, dramatic weight loss often leaves behind a common, frustrating issue: loose, sagging skin that no amount of diet or exercise can fix.

Traditionally, the solution has been surgical skin removal, which is highly effective but involves visible scars and longer recovery times. Today, a new technology — Renuvion® skin tightening — offers a scarless alternative for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, especially after GLP-1 weight loss.

Whether weight loss is achieved through medication, lifestyle changes, or bariatric surgery, the skin often does not shrink back to match the new body contours. This can leave patients with skin laxity in multiple areas, including:

Face & Neck – drooping jowls, loose neck skin, and deepened folds

Breasts – deflation and sagging after fat loss

Arms – “bat wings” in the upper arm area

Abdomen & Flanks – excess skin hanging over the waistline

Buttocks & Thighs – loss of shape and support

The traditional solution? Skin removal surgery—such as facelifts, tummy tucks, arm lifts, or thigh lifts. While highly effective, these procedures require incisions, and even with meticulous technique, visible scars are inevitable.

Renuvion: Scarless Skin Tightening After GLP-1 Weight Loss

For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, there’s now a cutting-edge alternative—Renuvion®. This revolutionary technology tightens skin from the inside without external incisions, providing a smoother, firmer contour and eliminating the trade-off of surgical scars.

Renuvion is especially powerful when combined with high-definition liposuction. Liposuction removes unwanted fat, but in some cases, it leaves behind skin that no longer has the elasticity to contract fully. Renuvion compliments liposuction by tightening that loose skin internally, delivering results that are both sculpted and smooth.
