Weight loss and loose skin?

[xXxCaZxXx]

Good morning all.

One of my clients is about to have a gastric band but doesn’t want loose skin. I’ve recommended that she exercise as she’s losing the weight and said that massage will help keep the skin supple but is there anything else I can do for her?

I don’t want to give her false hope but if I can help her then I want to. I don’t offer electrical treatments because I don’t have a high opinion on them but am willing to look into it

Thanks everyone [emoji4]

No, I think you have given good advice.
The best thing for her will be to build muscle strength to support the loose skin.

If she is going to loose a massive amount of weight then long term she can have surgery to remove the excess skin. I don't think the NHS will necessarily pay for this though from what I hear.

Radiofrequency is actually very good for tightening loose skin, but it can only do so much - if she is a little older or has been overweight a long time, surgery will be the only feasible option.
