Whoa! I never even knew you could tighten your skin with laser technology! Technology just creeps right up on me I suppose.
I disagree w/ those syaing you can’t tone loose skin on the belly after babies.If that’s the case, then why do two of my friends/dance instructors have very tight and toned abs after having two kids? One had two babies within two years and the other had her second when her oldest was 3 1/2 years old. They both exercise, dance and practice yoga. So, women (maybe not ALL) can lose/tone loose belly fat after having babies WITHOUT cosmetic surgery. I’ve even toned up some myself, so .
