How to tighten loose and crepey skin on the face after weight loss

Body Skin Tightening, West Malling, Kent

Losing weight can be a huge achievement and is often something to be celebrated. But for many people, the journey doesn’t end once the pounds come off. The skin, which has been stretched for months or even years, often struggles to retract fully. Add to that the natural decline of collagen and elastin with age, and you can be left with loose, crepey skin on the face that doesn’t reflect how healthy and vibrant you feel inside.

The good news is that skin quality can be improved. With today’s advanced regenerative and skin-tightening treatments, we can encourage your skin to behave more youthfully again, rebuilding strength, elasticity, and firmness in a natural way. Let’s explore some of the most effective options.

Lenisna: Long-lasting collagen stimulation

Lenisna is a next-generation biostimulatory injectable designed to kickstart your skin’s own collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers, which add volume in strategic areas, Lenisna works beneath the surface to gradually rebuild the skin’s internal scaffolding. Over the weeks and months following treatment, it encourages your fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin, leaving skin that feels thicker, firmer, and more resilient.

It’s particularly effective for areas of the face where sagging and thinning are most noticeable, such as the lower cheeks and jawline. Because results build gradually, the improvement looks incredibly natural, with skin that regains strength and elasticity. For those struggling with post-weight-loss laxity, Lenisna is a powerful option with long-lasting results.

Julaine: Regenerative support with a refined touch

Julaine is another advanced biostimulator, but what makes it stand out is its ability to not only strengthen the skin but also refine its texture and quality. By working on both collagen and elastin, Julaine helps restore the spring and elasticity that the skin often loses after weight changes. It’s ideal for patients who are noticing crepiness – those fine, papery lines that make skin look prematurely aged.

One of the things we love about Julaine is how it delivers a very natural, refreshed look without adding bulk. It’s perfect for people who want their face to look healthier but don’t want obvious changes in shape or volume.

Sunekos: Repairing the skin’s building blocks

Sunekos is a unique injectable treatment that combines hyaluronic acid with amino acids, the essential building blocks your skin needs to repair itself. It works by regenerating the extracellular matrix, which is essentially the skin’s supportive framework.

This makes Sunekos particularly good for delicate areas, like under the eyes, where crepiness can be especially visible after weight loss. By restoring hydration and stimulating collagen and elastin production, Sunekos improves both firmness and texture, helping the skin look smoother and fresher over time. It’s a great choice for anyone noticing early signs of thinning or fragility in their skin.

Profhilo: Deep hydration and skin tightening

Profhilo has become one of the most popular skin treatments for a reason. It’s not a filler and it doesn’t add volume – instead, it delivers a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid that spreads through the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin production in the fibroblast cells.

For skin that feels thin, crepey, or lacking bounce, Profhilo provides a noticeable tightening effect, alongside an improvement in overall texture and glow. After weight loss, it can be an excellent way to restore elasticity and give the skin a supple, youthful feel again. Treatments are quick, with results building gradually over a course of sessions.

Sofwave: Energy-based skin tightening

While injectables rebuild and regenerate from within, energy-based devices like Sofwave target the deeper structures of the skin using ultrasound technology. Sofwave delivers heat precisely into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and tightening skin from the inside out, all without needles or downtime.

It’s especially effective for lifting and firming areas like the jawline, cheeks, and brows, which can lose definition after weight loss. Many patients love that Sofwave offers a non-invasive option with results that continue to improve for months after treatment as new collagen forms.

Choosing the right approach

The most effective way to treat loose and crepey skin after weight loss is often a combination of treatments, tailored to your skin’s specific needs. For some, that might mean starting with a biostimulator like Lenisna or Julaine to restore collagen, then layering in Profhilo or Sunekos for hydration and fine-texture improvements. Others may benefit from pairing injectables with Sofwave to lift and firm the skin for a more sculpted look.

What matters most is creating a plan that works with your skin, not against it, helping it regenerate, repair, and regain the firmness you deserve after your weight loss journey.
