Mummy Tummy

Non-Surgical Mummy Tummy Treatments in Newcastle

Carrying and delivering a baby asks a huge amount of your body, and the tummy usually shows it longest. Skin that stretched and did not fully come back, a softer waistline, a pouch of fat low on the stomach that will not shift however much you walk, and often a gap through the middle where the abdominal muscles separated. None of it is anything to be embarrassed about, and none of it needs surgery to improve. At RT Aesthetics in Whickham, Newcastle, the plan is built at a free consultation around which of those things your tummy actually has, because they are different problems with different treatments.

Three different problems

Loose skin is a collagen problem: the skin stretched over nine months and lost some of its spring, so it sits soft and crepey. Separated muscles, diastasis recti, are a structural problem: the two halves of the rectus muscle moved apart and the tummy bulges outwards even when you are slim. The pouch is a fat problem: a pocket of belly fat that hormones and genetics keep in place. Most mums have two of the three at once, and treating only one of them is why so many people are disappointed by a single course of anything.

The treatments, and what they cost

Exilis Ultra Body for loose skin

Exilis Ultra Body uses radiofrequency and ultrasound to heat the deeper layers of the skin, so the existing collagen contracts and the skin builds new collagen over the following weeks. It tightens the loose, crepey skin across the tummy and reduces a little of the fat under it at the same time, and it feels like a warm massage. A course of four sessions is £785 for one area, £1,285 for two and £1,785 for three.

EMSculpt Neo for separated muscles and tone

EMSculpt Neo is the treatment for the muscle side of a mummy tummy. Electromagnetic pulses contract the abdominal muscles thousands of times in a half-hour session, far more than you could do yourself, while radiofrequency reduces the fat over the top. It builds the muscle wall back so the tummy has something firm to sit on. A course of four sessions is £2,000.

Fat freezing for the pouch

Where the main problem is a defined pocket of fat low on the stomach, fat freezing chills the fat cells so the body clears them over six to twelve weeks. One area is £350 and a course of three sessions on one area is £899. For a wider area or a higher BMI, Emerald Laser does the same job with no cold and no numbness over a course of ten or fifteen sessions from £2,500.

When to start

Your body comes first, so timing matters. Fat freezing needs a minimum of six months after your baby’s expected birth, or twelve months after a C-section. For every treatment we want you to have healed properly, and if you are breastfeeding we ask that you and your GP are happy for you to begin. None of that stops you booking the consultation early, and plenty of mums do, so the plan is ready for when you are.

What to expect

Your consultation is free and there is no obligation. Your practitioner looks at the skin, checks for muscle separation, measures the area and sets out a plan with the number of sessions and the full price before anything is booked. Every treatment here is non-invasive with no downtime, which matters when your hands are full, and sessions run from thirty minutes for EMSculpt Neo to an hour or two for fat freezing. If you have a like-for-like quote from another clinic, bring it, because we price match like-for-like clinic treatments.

Results and how long they last

Exilis results build through the course and keep improving for a few weeks after it ends, and are usually maintained with a top-up session or two a year. EMSculpt Neo results show over the two to three months after the last session and last as long as you keep reasonably active. Fat cells removed by freezing do not come back. Our guide to skin and muscle after weight loss covers the same combination for anyone whose tummy changed with weight loss rather than a baby.

Safety

Exilis, EMSculpt Neo, fat freezing and Emerald Laser are non-invasive, CE-marked treatments with no needles and nothing injected. Side effects are temporary: redness, tenderness, mild muscle soreness after EMSculpt Neo and, after fat freezing, a numb patch that can take around two months to fade. RT Aesthetics is a medically led clinic, so every plan follows our clinical protocols with a clinic medic and a qualified nurse practitioner on the team for any medical questions.
