Why loose skin happens on Mounjaro
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is not known to damage skin directly. Loose skin follows the weight loss itself: when fat shrinks quickly, skin that was stretched for a long time may not recoil fully. How much it recovers depends on how much and how fast you lost, your age, sun damage, smoking and genetics. The same applies to semaglutide (Wegovy or Ozempic).
What tends to improve and what does not
| Situation | Likely outcome |
|---|---|
| Mild softness, younger skin, gradual loss | Often improves over months at a stable weight |
| Moderate looseness on the stomach, arms or thighs | Usually improves only partly on its own; a skin treatment course may help |
| A fold of skin that hangs, rubs or causes rashes | Does not go away on its own; needs a surgical opinion |
Strength work helps by filling out the area underneath. The NHS recommends strengthening activities on at least two days a week.

Where LPG fits
LPG Endermologie uses motorised rollers and controlled suction on the Cellu M6 Infinity to help firm and smooth mild to moderate looseness, with no needles, heat or downtime. Most people notice change after 6 to 8 weekly sessions. Results vary and no result is permanent. We found no study of LPG Endermologie in people using weight loss medicines, and the general evidence for LPG is mixed. For the treatments we offer, see loose skin after weight loss, and for skin, muscle and body together, our hub on life after weight loss medication.
Omnia Lifestyle does not prescribe or supply weight loss medication, and decisions about starting, stopping or changing it belong with your prescriber or GP. If you are still taking the medicine, ask your prescriber or GP whether a skin treatment suits you now.
Who this is not for
LPG is not used on the abdomen in pregnancy. It is not suitable with active cancer, an infection, phlebitis or a blood clot, open wounds or inflamed skin. If you have a circulatory or blood disorder, recent surgery, a pacemaker or an implanted device, ask your doctor or surgeon first. Hanging skin needs a surgical opinion. See your GP about any unexplained swelling, pain or skin change.
