Why skin can look loose after slimming down
Rapid or significant weight loss leaves collagen and elastin fibers overstretched. Without time to recoil, the dermis sags, especially on arms, abdomen, flanks, and thighs. While exercise builds muscle tone, it cannot shrink weakened connective tissue – that is where radio-frequency (RF) technology steps in.
How RF Body Laser Accent works
KRL uses RF Body Laser Accent, a device that sends controlled radio-frequency energy deep into the dermis. The heat (about 40-45 °C) contracts existing collagen and stimulates fibroblasts to make fresh, tighter fibers. Surface skin stays cool, so there is no peeling or downtime.
| Session length | Discomfort level | Visible results |
|---|---|---|
| 30-45 min per area | Warm massage sensation – no anaesthetic needed | Smoother, firmer skin typically after 3-4 sessions |
Most clients book 4-6 sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal tightening. Treated zones continue improving for up to six months as new collagen matures.
Ideal candidates
- Stable weight (little fluctuation in the past three months)
- Mild to moderate laxity on tummy, arms, flanks, thighs, or knees
- No metal implants or active skin infections in the target area
- Non-smokers or those willing to pause nicotine (it slows collagen repair)
What to expect on treatment day
- Technician photographs and marks the area.
- A thin layer of glycerin gel improves RF glide.
- The hand-piece moves in slow circles, warming tissue to therapeutic temperature.
- Post-session, skin may be pink for 30-60 min – normal and painless.
You can return to work, gym, or errands immediately.
Cost range
KRL’s RF Body Accent sessions cost €50-70 depending on area size, with multi-zone packages available. Youth Card holders aged 18-30 receive permanent discounts.
Maximising your results
- Hydrate well – water helps collagen synthesise.
- Apply SPF 50 on exposed areas for one week.
- Combine with LPG Endermologie® to improve circulation and cellulite texture if needed.
- Maintain weight – large fluctuations can overstretch new collagen.
Realistic timeline
| Week | What you may notice |
|---|---|
| 0-1 | Skin feels tighter immediately after each session (temporary) |
| 4-6 | Subtle lift and better texture as collagen production rises |
| 12 | Peak firmness; clothing fits smoother |
| 24 | Final collagen remodeling – schedule a review to discuss maintenance |
