How long does it take for skin to tighten up after massive weight loss?

Diet Questions and Answers
I’ve lost 30 pounds over the course of a few months, but I noticed that my skin sags a little in areas. It’s not bad, but I do wonder how long it will take for the skin to tighten up. Also, what affect will age have on the skin tightening up?

Imagine that your skin is a rubber band: if you pull a rubber band and quickly release, it`ll snap back and go back to its original shape right away. But if you pull a rubber band and hold it apart for a long time, usually the rubber band will be a little stretched out even after you release. There are various skin-tightening creams, but I can`t really say much for their effectiveness. However, if you have stretch marks, Mederma sells a great cream that will minimize their appearance over their time. You can buy their products at your local drug store. If Mederma is too expensive, I would suggest Scarzone as your next best bet. Scarzone can also be found at your local drug store. I`ll link you to an article that explains more in detail about excess skin, as well as the link to Mederma`s site!
