Restore and Tighten Skin After Weight Loss With Sculptra and Tixel

Tighten Up: How Sculptra and Tixel Help Restore Skin After Weight Loss By Dr. Anwar

Losing weight is an incredible achievement—physically, mentally, and emotionally. But one of the most common concerns after significant weight loss is skin laxity. That loose or crepey skin, especially on the face and neck, can feel discouraging when you’ve worked so hard. At Modern Aesthetics, we approach this concern with two powerhouse treatments that deliver natural, long-lasting results: Sculptra and Tixel.

Why Skin Gets Loose After Weight Loss

When you lose weight—especially rapidly or after substantial changes—the fat that once provided volume and structure beneath your skin disappears. Unfortunately, our skin doesn’t always bounce back, especially if collagen and elastin levels are already depleted due to age or sun exposure.

Think of collagen like the scaffolding that holds your skin up—without it, things start to sag. That’s where Sculptra and Tixel come in. They don’t just mask the problem. They stimulate your body to rebuild itself from within.

Sculptra: The Collagen Architect

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and it works by gradually stimulating your body to produce collagen over time. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that offer immediate volume, Sculptra’s results develop gradually, creating firmer, lifted, and more youthful skin with a truly natural feel.

How we use Sculptra at Modern Aesthetics:

- Facial hollows & volume loss: Particularly effective in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and around the mouth.

- Skin laxity: Improves tone and texture by strengthening the skin’s internal structure.

- Neck & décolletage: Softens crepey skin and enhances tightness over a series of treatments.

Dr. Anwar customizes each treatment to your facial anatomy, layering Sculptra strategically to support and stimulate in the right places, all while keeping your natural expression intact.

Tixel: Non-Invasive Skin Resurfacing with a Kick

Tixel is the perfect complement to Sculptra. Using thermal energy (not light or lasers), Tixel creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger collagen production, improve texture, and tighten loose areas.

What makes Tixel special?

- Precision: Can safely treat delicate areas like under the eyes, neck, and even around the mouth.

- Customizable: From gentle “open-channel” settings for topical absorption to deeper fractional treatments for firming.

- Minimal downtime: Most patients experience redness for 24–48 hours, similar to a sunburn.

At Modern Aesthetics, we often use Tixel for:

- Smoothing and tightening crepey skin

- Reducing fine lines post-weight loss

- Enhancing the results of injectables like Sculptra

Why Sculptra + Tixel = The Dream Team

While Sculptra rebuilds collagen from the inside out, Tixel refines the skin from the outside in. Together, they create a 360° approach to skin tightening after weight loss. It’s a synergy Dr. Anwar loves—because it restores skin’s elasticity, integrity, and vibrance without overfilling or looking unnatural.

Bonus: These treatments can also help stimulate lymphatic drainage and support your skin’s natural remodeling process, giving you a more sculpted, defined look over time.
