Dr. Liu Wenmin

After successful weight loss, skin laxity can be improved through the following methods:

1. Regular exercise: Perform aerobic stretching exercises such as C-curve training, yoga, or calisthenics, which help improve skin elasticity and firmness.

2. Skin hydration: Use moisturizing skincare products morning and night, and drink plenty of water to prevent dryness and sagging skin.

3. Proper massage: After showering, apply body oil or moisturizing lotion and gently massage the skin with your hands to stimulate skin cells and promote firmness.

4. Dietary adjustment: Increase intake of foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and collagen, such as carrots, tomatoes, citrus fruits, eggs, and milk, which can help improve loose skin.
