Losing a significant amount of weight is an incredible achievement—whether through lifestyle changes, medical treatments, or weight loss surgery. However, many people find that their success is accompanied by a new concern: excess or loose skin. This can be particularly distressing when it undermines the hard work you’ve put into transforming your body.
At Trikwan Aesthetics, we understand how important it is to feel confident in your skin—literally. If you’re wondering whether it’s possible to address excess skin without going under the knife, the answer is yes. Thanks to innovations in non-surgical aesthetics, treatments like Morpheus8 offer a powerful and effective solution for those with mild to moderate skin laxity.
What Causes Excess Skin?
Excess skin commonly results from rapid weight loss. Whether through intensive diet and exercise or weight loss surgery, shedding a large amount of weight in a short space of time can leave the skin struggling to keep up.
When skin is stretched for a prolonged period, the collagen and elastin fibres that give it strength and elasticity can become damaged. This impairs the skin’s ability to retract once the underlying fat or tissue is reduced.
In some cases, particularly where there is a large amount of excess skin, surgery may be the most appropriate treatment. However, for individuals with a moderate degree of laxity, non-invasive options like Morpheus8 can offer excellent results—without the recovery time or emotional stress associated with surgery.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target deep layers of the skin and remodel tissue from within. It works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the two essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and structure.
This treatment is particularly effective for those looking to tighten loose skin, improve skin texture, and achieve a more toned appearance—especially after weight loss.
How Morpheus8 Works:
- Microneedles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing response
- Radiofrequency energy heats the deeper dermal layers to stimulate collagen production and contract existing fibres
- The result is tighter, firmer, smoother skin with long-lasting improvements that develop over time
At Trikwan Aesthetics, Morpheus8 is delivered in a bespoke, medically led manner, tailored to your individual skin quality and body goals.
What Areas Can Morpheus8 Treat?
Morpheus8 is highly versatile and can be used on both the face and body, making it ideal for post-weight loss skin tightening. Common treatment areas include:
- Stomach and abdomen
- Arms (particularly the underarm or “bingo wings” area)
- Thighs
- Jawline and neck
- Above the knees
- Back or bra roll area
Whether you’re dealing with mild sagging around the midsection or want to improve the appearance of loose skin on your arms, Morpheus8 can be a game-changing option.
Why Choose Morpheus8 Over Surgery?
While surgical procedures like tummy tucks or body lifts are still valid options for more severe cases of excess skin, they often come with long recovery periods, potential scarring, and a significant emotional and physical toll.
In contrast, Morpheus8 offers:
- Non-invasive skin tightening with no general anaesthetic required
- Minimal downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities quickly
- Customised results tailored to your body’s needs
- Progressive improvement as collagen continues to rebuild over time
- A more subtle, natural-looking outcome without surgery
For those with less extensive skin laxity, Morpheus8 provides an elegant and effective alternative to going under the knife.
Is Morpheus8 Right for You?
If you’ve lost weight and are now struggling with moderate loose or sagging skin, you may be an ideal candidate for Morpheus8. It’s also suitable for clients who:
- Want to avoid the risks and recovery time of surgery
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements
- Are looking to boost collagen and improve skin texture
- Want to tighten specific areas of the body without invasive procedures
