How to Get Rid of Loose “Baby Belly” Skin after
Pregnancy with Evolve TITE RF Skin Tightening

Pregnancy can bring many changes to a woman’s body – and the most frustrating is often unwanted loose skin on the abdomen that lasts long after delivery. Sometimes called a “baby belly” – stretched skin from carrying a child may simply never return to its original shape.

If you are left with a “baby belly” after delivering a child you are not alone. SELF magazine recently interviewed Jim Pivarnik, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at Michigan State University who studies the effects of exercise on pregnant women. He explained that loose post pregnancy abdominal skin “happens to almost all new moms.”

Why Pregnancy Causes Loose Skin

The building blocks of skin are collagen and elastin. These protein fibers stretch and expand with any weight gain. But during pregnancy the skin must stretch rapidly to accommodate the expansion of the belly due to the growing uterus. This stretching during pregnancy, followed by sudden weight loss after delivery, can overextend the collagen and elastin in the abdomen or “baby belly” to a point where it simply cannot “snap back”.

And, unfortunately, while dieting and exercise can reduce fat, it cannot tighten skin.

Old Skin Tightening Method: Tummy Tuck Surgery for Baby Belly Lose Skin

Previously, the only aesthetic procedure to restore tightness to abdominal skin after pregnancy was a surgical tummy tuck. During tummy tuck surgery, anesthetic is required, as the doctor literally cuts off the extra skin. The remaining skin is then stretched taught and stitched together. This often requires the surgical creation of a new opening for the navel (belly button) as well.

Tummy tuck surgery is very painful, with a long recovery period. Including the anesthesia, operating room facility fees, and other related expenses a tummy tuck typically costs around $10,000.

How Evolve TITE Tightens Skin & Gets Rid of “Baby Belly”

Evolve TITE is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that applies targeted radiofrequency heat energy to stimulate the body’s own renewed production of collagen and elastin. As new collagen and elastin fibers are restored, the skin contracts to it’s “pre-stretched” condition.

During Evolve TITE skin tightening treatment, patients experience a warm sensation in the targeted area that many say feels like a hot stone massage. There is no pain, so no anesthetic is needed. And, unlike other laser-based skin treatments, Evolve’s gentle radiofrequency energy is safe and effective for use on all skin types and skin tones – including darker skin colors.

The number of Evolve TITE skin tightening treatments needed will depend upon the degree of post pregnancy “baby belly” skin laxity. In most cases, women require from three to eight treatments – spaced a week apart over a month or two – for the best results.

And, for mothers’ whose muscles were also stretched during pregnancy, Evolve TITE can be performed in combination with Evolve TONE muscle building.
