Protein and collagen boost
A diet rich in protein promotes the body's production of collagen, an important factor in helping skin maintain its elasticity and firmness. Foods such as fish, eggs, and poultry are rich sources of protein. Supplementing with collagen may also be helpful in rebuilding skin structure.
Do exercise
Exercises like weightlifting or yoga not only help maintain muscle, but also tighten loose skin. According to research from the National Institutes of Health, regular physical activity improves blood circulation and nourishes the tissues under the skin, promoting healthier skin regeneration.
Use skin care therapy
Methods such as massage and using creams containing retinol or hyaluronic acid help increase skin elasticity. These products often stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Modern skin care technologies such as lasers or RF waves are also considered effective in tightening skin after weight loss.
Hydration and proper nutrition
Drinking enough water every day helps maintain the skin's natural moisture and improves elasticity. Antioxidants from fruits and vegetables (containing vitamin C) help the body produce collagen and protect the skin from damage.
These methods have been promoted by organizations like the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and RUSH for skin care and improving firmness after weight loss.
Persistence and a combination of these methods will yield lasting results.
