Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

After fat loss therapy, my skin holes are getting bigger. Also, I am losing my skin color now. I would like to know whether the machine is stuck to the body. What is the reason for this problem?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

With your descriptions, it seems that you had undergone bariatric surgery or vibration plate machines to dissolve the fats. In the case of weight loss surgery, the skin shrinks and sagged since the skin is an elastic living organ. Because of the loss of elasticity, the skin pores gets bigger. Direct contact with vibration plate machines like the sauna belt can cause burns to the skin, which leads to discoloration. So, you should wear a shirt under the belt to provide a barrier between you and the belt. Attend to your hydration needs. Water is a crucial component of maintaining skin elasticity. From both food and drink, you should take at least two liters of water each day. Increase your intake of protein-rich foods such as cottage cheese, milk, legumes,tofu, beans, seeds, nuts and fish all contain collagen and elastin forming components. As well as take some oil in your food, which helps to maintain healthy skin.

Thank you.
