A flat and toned tummy is a challenge to many that comes with regular diet and exercise. Fat may accumulate in the lower abdomen, the skin loses its elasticity after giving birth or losing weight and the underlying muscles become weak or divided. Surgical tummy tuck is a procedure that involves the removal of the excess skin along with tightening of the muscles, which requires general anesthesia, incisions, scars and several weeks of recovery. There are also non-surgical procedures: they burn the fats, firm the skin, and make the belly firmer without any incisions, no scars, and minimal downtimes. These procedures at Renew Derma target the same objective, a smoother, firmer midsection using various technologies. The dermatologist will check your abdomen and will be assessed through a free consultation, talking about what bothers the most, and will propose the combination that will fit best to your body.
Low-level laser pads are placed directly on the skin over the tummy area. The laser light passes through the skin without causing any heat or damage. It reaches the fat cells underneath and creates tiny openings in their membranes. This allows the stored fat (triglycerides) inside the cells to leak out as free fatty acids and glycerol. Your body then either uses these released contents as energy or eliminates them through normal metabolic processes. The fat cells will shrink instantly, and you will notice the inch loss from the very first treatment. The tummy or treated area will appear slimmer and tighter instantly without pain, bruising, or downtime.
What it is: Non-invasive low-level laser fat reduction.
What it targets: Superficial abdominal fat, overall inch loss around the midsection.
A small device transmits focused ultrasound energy deep into the fat layer while at the same time keeping the surface of the skin cool and protected from thermal effects. Focussed ultrasound waves are adjusted so that they can create a very specific layer of thermal energy, for example, 1.3 cm or 1.5 cm deep beneath the surface, and create an accurate thermal effect on fat cells causing them to be destroyed permanently. Simultaneously, the heat produced from the ultrasonic therapy promotes collagen and elastin production in the skin layers above the fat cells treated with ultrasound therapy. Consequently, the skin will progressively tighten over approximately 8 – 12 weeks by means of the stimulated cellular repair following cell death due to the ultrasound. Over the next 8-12 weeks, the body naturally removes the damaged fat cells through the
lymphatic system, so the tummy becomes progressively flatter and the skin feels smoother and more toned. The treatment feels warm but not painful, and there is no downtime.
What it is: Focused ultrasound for fat cell destruction and skin tightening.
What it targets: Deeper stubborn fat, loose or mildly sagging tummy skin, improved abdominal contour
Special applicators are applied to the targeted area of the abdomen. The device pulls the tissue gently into the applicator and cools it to a precise temperature (around -10°C). This controlled cooling crystallizes the fat cells while leaving skin, nerves, muscles, and blood vessels unharmed because they are more resistant to cold. Once crystallized, the fat cells undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death). Over the following 1-3 months, the immune system gradually clears away these dead cells, reducing the fat layer by an average of 20-25% in the treated zone. The procedure is comfortable, most people read or relax during the session, and there is no recovery period. Mild temporary numbness or redness may occur but disappears quickly.
What it is: Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) for selective fat reduction.
What it targets: Pinchable belly fat, lower abdominal bulges, love handles.
A large applicator is placed over the abdomen. It generates high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy that penetrates through the skin and stimulates the motor neurons in the abdominal muscles. This causes thousands of supramaximal contractions
(stronger than voluntary exercise) in just 30 minutes. Each session is equivalent to roughly 20,000 sit-ups or crunches. The intense muscle work increases muscle fiber thickness and density while also burning fat in the overlying layer through metabolic stress. After a series of treatments (usually 4 sessions over 2 weeks), the core becomes stronger, the tummy appears flatter and more defined, and waist circumference often decreases. The sensation feels like an intense workout but without any effort on your part, and there is no downtime.
What it is: HIFEM technology for muscle building and fat reduction.
What it targets: Weak or separated abdominal muscles, excess fat covering the core, lack of tone or definition, post-pregnancy muscle laxity
