Loose Skin: Face and Neck vs. Body Treatment Options
Last updated November 2, 2026 · 4 min read
Loose skin shows up differently for everyone. For some it is a softer jawline or a neck that has lost some definition. For others it is skin on the abdomen, arms, or thighs that changed after pregnancy or weight loss.
Non-surgical options such as Morpheus8 and QuantumRF may be considered individually or as part of a combined plan. Which one fits depends on the area, the degree of laxity, your skin quality, and whether localized fullness is also a concern. This guide walks through what your provider looks at and what kind of improvement is realistic.
Face and neck: laxity, skin quality, and fullness
For the face and neck, the team considers three things: the degree of laxity, your skin quality, and whether there is fullness beneath the chin.
Morpheus8 or QuantumRF may be considered individually or as part of a combined plan, depending on which of those factors matters most for you.
Body areas: a few more factors
Body treatment planning brings more into the picture. Recommendations also account for the size of the area, skin thickness, localized fat, and changes related to pregnancy or weight loss.
Treatment areas may include the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, or knees.
What improvement is realistic?
These treatments can improve selected concerns, but the amount of improvement varies. Changes develop gradually as tissue heals and remodels, rather than all at once.
Your provider will explain the expected timeline for the recommended treatment.
