Mommy Tummy in Canoga Park

Questions about the Mommy Tummy

• Why hasn't exercise tightened the skin on my stomach?

  Core workouts strengthen the muscle underneath, and the skin on top does not always follow. After pregnancy or weight changes, the abdomen is one of the areas most prone to laxity, so it can stay loose or crepey even when you feel fit. Mommy Tummy targets the deeper layers of that skin, the part exercise alone often cannot reach.

• How is Mommy Tummy different from Body Sculp8?

  Both use radiofrequency, vacuum, infrared and LED. Mommy Tummy is customized for the abdomen, waistline and lower stomach, with more time spent on skin laxity in that one area. Body Sculp8 shapes and firms areas such as the flanks, thighs and arms. If you want your midsection and other areas treated, the two can be planned together.

• Can Mommy Tummy replace a tummy tuck?

  A tummy tuck removes excess skin surgically, and Mommy Tummy does not replace it. It supports the skin's natural tightening for women who want visible improvement in firmness and contour without an operation. If you have a large amount of excess skin, your consultation is the place to talk through whether surgery would serve you better.

• Is there downtime between sessions?

  There is no downtime. The treatment is non-invasive, with no incisions, so you can return to your usual routine after each visit. Radiofrequency and infrared warm the skin during the session. Most plans involve several sessions, spaced out as agreed at your consultation.
