Hey!

I have a big problem of loose skin. My skin is loose and gives a flabby appearance to my arms, stomach and thighs but it is not enough for surgery. I have been told there are other ways to tighten it up like taking protein supplements and building more muscle or exfoliating and massaging. Please help!!

    Filling up the areas with muscle will reduce it. Easier said than done though. Loose skin CANNOT be affected by supplementation, massage, wraps, etc. It's either going to retract, or you'll need surgery. One could also use spandex type shirts and shorts to help keep loose skin from moving around alot.
