Tightening loose skin

Figure I will throw this up on this board as well.. I don't know a lot of you guys yet so maybe one of you has had similar experience.

Anyone had luck with supplementation or injection to tighten loose skin? Peps.. hgh.. helios.. etc. I was obese growing up until my senior year of high school and went from 285 to 160 before getting into bodybuilding.. so the weight loss has been years ago. I compete now and it's annoying have that little bit of excess skin. It's nothing awful but I have skin on my love handles that won't disappear even in single digits due to the skin, and have a pouch on my stomach that folds in an abdominal thigh.

It's bad enough I want to get rid of it but not so bad in the sense I dunno if a nasty scar would be better. Although I have some in my glutes, lot back, inner thigh, abs and love handles.. I think the glutes and thighs can eventually be filled out.

Just curious if anyone has had success with any home remedies or drug/injection solutions.

Great question. No idea on an answer...so BUMP...lol

idk of anything that will work other than actual surgery for that man. i do know that gh will tighten it up to a small extent but from every thing i have read and heard surgery is usually the only route to fix it. something i have told and advised some of my clients in the past is to actually attempt to grow the abdominal wall and lower back to fill the area in. i know that it can ruin symetry to some extent but if you can grow every where else as well it shouldnt make a huge impact. not everyone can have a tiny wasp waist, so i say grow it if that's the last resort

Yes, its probably something that might need a surgical procedure. Not sure how much it costs but have known people who have had it done and I think they were happy with the result. A lot of those places will have a loan program so you can pay it off over a few years

Yah know.. all of my life ive had this little bit of belly pouch around my abdominal. Exactly like your talking about. Its vwry noticeable. Doesnt even feel like fat, literally just skin. No matter how lean it still hurts my abs appearance because that pouch wont go away. Whats even more frustrating is that inwas never overweight in my life. Before i got into lifting inwas a competitive cyclist in my teenage years and was very thin. Ive still just always had it whethwr i weighed 130lbs or 230lbs. Oh well. Good thing im not a a bodybuilder I guess. I still care about my physique more then most powerlifterw though.

I will say it again...daily dry skin brushing.
