Abdominal flaccidity: causes and effective treatments in aesthetic medicine and surgery in Badalona and Barcelona.
Abdominal flaccidity is one of the main aesthetic concerns in both men and women, and one of the most frequent consultations in our aesthetic medicine clinic in Badalona and Barcelona. This condition affects not only the appearance of the abdomen, but also the self-esteem of those who suffer from it. Therefore, it is essential to understand what causes it, what types exist and what treatments are the most appropriate in each case.
What is abdominal flaccidity and why does it appear?
Abdominal flaccidity occurs when the tissues lose firmness and tone. This may be due to factors such as:
- Rapid weight loss.
- Pregnancy and postpartum.
- Natural aging.
- Sedentary lifestyle and loss of muscle mass.
- Hormonal or genetic factors.
It is important to differentiate between two types of flaccidity:
1. Muscle flaccidity:
Occurs when the abdominal muscles lose tone. It is common after long periods of inactivity, pregnancy, or sudden weight loss.
2. Cutaneous (skin) flaccidity:
It refers to the loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin, generally due to a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin with the passage of time or after intense body changes.
Treatments for abdominal flaccidity according to the type of flaccidity.
In our clinic we combine advanced technology with personalized diagnosis to choose the most appropriate treatment, either medical-aesthetic or surgical.
Muscle flaccidity: toning from the inside out
To restore muscle tone, we use specific equipment that stimulates deep muscle fibers:
- HIFEM body waves: they penetrate down to the muscle layer (SMAS), generating a deep contraction that improves firmness from the inside.
- Professional electrostimulation: directly activates the muscle fibers, toning without physical effort.
Skin flaccidity: dermal tissue regeneration
When the problem is in lax or wrinkled skin, treatments focus on stimulating collagen:
- Body radiofrequency: generates controlled heat in the deep layers of the dermis, activating fibroblasts and promoting firmness.
- INDIBA: medical technology that improves cell metabolism, stimulates collagen and reduces localized volume.
- HIFU: also used to firm the skin, especially in patients with thin or delicate skin.
In many cases, the combination of skin and muscle treatments offers the best results. We design comprehensive protocols tailored to each case.
Our medical team assesses each case individually and determines whether the approach should be exclusively aesthetic, surgical or mixed.
