After having a baby, your body has completely changed in many ways. Even if you were anticipating some of the changes, it can still be a shock to see. Some women view changes as well-earned scars when they became a mother, and we love that. But if you’re the type that wants to see those scars disappear without surgery (because you have enough on your hands without scheduling in surgical recovery, too), we have options for each postpartum body issue that will help you get the mommy makeover you want without taking time away from your new baby.
EXCESS FAT
Pregnancy weight gain is a no brainer—it literally happens to everyone who’s pregnant. But that doesn’t make it any less annoying when you’re trying to shed pounds after childbirth and can’t get new bulges to budge. Stubborn fat is a pain, but Emsculpt Neo and CoolSculpting are not. Emsculpt Neo boasts a 30% fat reduction in the targeted area with a 20% increase in muscle mass. Plus, it also corrects diastasis recti (when your muscles in the center of your abdomen separate), something that previously required costly surgery to repair. For pockets of fat in difficult-to-reach places like flanks, thighs, and your chin, CoolSculpting is the perfect fit and can reduce up to 24% of the fat in the targeted area. Both treatments are comfortable and only take 30 minutes.
LOOSE EXTRA SKIN
After losing baby weight, sometimes your skin doesn’t bounce back. And the likelihood of this happening increases if you’ve had a pregnancy in your 30s or later. You might think a tummy tuck is the only way, but that means six weeks in a compression garment with no exercise or lifting. This seems unnecessary considering all of the non-invasive skin tightening options that exist, so before you jump to surgery consider whether or not your skin might be fine with less invasive options. The Profound RF treatment is truly one of a kind at skin tightening. It targets elastic, hyaluronic acid, and collagen, dramatically boosting the longevity and results. Unlike surgical options that require you to alter your lifestyle while you heal, Profound uses fractionated radiofrequency as its delivery method, a kind of low heat energy that is applied directly to your skin. This method is safe for all pigments and skin types. Instead of targeting just the surface level, the heat targets under the top layer, which is where most of the collagen and elastin is located, noticeably firming up the skin.
STRETCH MARKS
Some women don’t mind them. Others view them as a nuisance and try every cream in the book to erase them. But one thing is for sure: they take a long time to fade on their own, if they ever do. Toss out the creams because your best options for erasing moderate to severe stretch marks are Microneedling and CO2 laser resurfacing.
