Excess Skin due to Weight Loss

[mizizlim]

hi friends...

tanong ko lang mga sis if any of you have used skin firming lotions or meds and if anyone can recommend any.

i lost kasi a lot of weight na since i started working out and eating healthy more than a year ago.  napapansin ko lang now na ang dami ko tuloy mga excess skin.

the weight loss wasn't rapid naman, it took me months talaga and actually i've yet to reach my desired weight.

yun nga lang, napansin ko talaga ang dami excess like in my upper thighs and arms.

meron ba kayong alam, aside from surgery of course, na way to at least minimize ito?

thanks in advance!

actually noong hindi pa ako naglotion sagging skin ko,,hirap kasi me sa pagpili ng lotion before kasi namamaga arms ko if my parabenes so i tried organic/natural lotions is year and pansin ko nag firm braso ko,nag loose weight din kasi ako...i think any lotion naman will help,if wala kayo allergies,,and tonning exercise too..kaso wala me time e

This is my problem too especially on my thighs. Excess skin and stretchmarks combined. Ugh! nakakadepress tignan...I use goodbye cellulite and minamassage ko siya maigi with a handheld massager....2 months ko na ginagawa konting improvement palang nakikita ko. nagpaschedule din ako RF treatments. Desperate na nga ko eh.

have the same problem... 

can someone advise kung anong lotion brand ang effective? ayoko din kasi magpasurgery

[design21]

nivea firming lotion use twice a day mahal lang but works wonders

[hanson15]

sis how much ang nivea firming lotion? naghahanap rin ako kasi sagging ang skin ko hindi ko alam kung bakit pero dahil ito sa pag loose ko ng weight hayz

I don't believe on any of those firming lotions and creams at all. The best way to tighten the loose skin after weight loss is by adding muscles. You need to form a tight layer of muscles under the skin. That can improve how the skin looks, and take away some of the sag effect. Basically, the best course of action is to preserve your muscles while losing fat. You have to build the muscle back up again. Endurance exercise will burn fat, but you also need to add strength training.

To summary all of this, you need to LIFT WEIGHTS.

i agree... it's not really saggy skin... hindi lang talaga firm yung muscles mo sa parts na yun ng katawan.

cardio + weights = sexy arms and legs!

[gorgeouschef]

i can relate to this, before hindi toned ang arms back in college, tapos i started lifting weights 4 years ago and this is it!!  tumigas na arms and legs ko. so kung pursigido ka talaga sa pagbubuhat kahit dumbells, matotone ang katawan mo... Strong is the new sexy.

Kung tamad ka talaga mag-weights try mo RF tapos Biotone.

I lost 60 pounds before... one year and 4 months yung pagpapayat ko... i hired a personal trainer sa fitness first... okay naman. yung arms ko wala masyadong excess skin (although malambot) kasi super pinapa-exercise nya ako sa arms... pero yung puson, parang di na natatanggal yung excess skin... anyone may advice please?

[hanson15]

sis usana to eh. Wala naman nakalagay na pampafirm ng muscle?

[pink_stardust]

problem ko din to i look fatter than I actually am dahil sa excess skin?i lost a lot of weight din kasi, although gradual naman. mga 30kgs din :/

pag dinaan sa exercise, im worried baka magmukha naman akong macho )

[hanson15]

hindi ka magmumukhang macho sis. kasi yung mga lalake nga mismo na nag weweights hirap sila mag gain ng muscle. Yung iba umiinom ng steroids or whey protein. What more kung girls.

In my case ang nangyari sakin may taba pa rin ako plus nagkaroon ng muscle so lalong lumaki yung braso ko. Although lawlaw pa rin dahil sa fats. problem ko hindi ko alam kung anong diet or exercise para mawala ang fats. Kasi nung nagloose ako ng weight mas maraming naloose na muscle kesa fat.

Sis magHIIT ka.

[nikka04]

Try proflavanol.

[rainy066]

problema ko din toh. kano kaya mag pa bawas ng skin?

[isisss]

so far the fastest and easiest way to firm flabby arms or legs /excess skin is to have a RF session sa mga slimming salon. It usually tightens the flabby skin. 

[hersmart4ever]

I tried firming lotion na for my sagging skin. OK naman but nothing works fast. Mas mabilis magpa RF sa derma. Mura na lang naman ngayon. Varies from 300 to 800 per 30 mins. Sa case ko kasi, extreme ang pagka sag kasi i used to be so fat. Tapos nag lose weight ako. Pinapa RF ko pa until now.

Eto rin ang problem ko. But now I'm using Nivea Sking Firming Lotion. Okay naman siya so far. Try mo ito TS.
