Unfortunately no: Although some manufacturers of lasers and other devices make great claims about skin contraction, in my experience, these results are greatly exaggerated.

Revision gynecomasti: If you have scars, consider a revision where your old scars are used again to remove the excess skin you are concerned about. Other ways of tightening skin do exist but are not as effective as skin excision.
