    Serena Williams’ former coach Patrick Mouratoglou says mental health is ‘more important’ than skill

    In the Reel, Williams — clad in a white crocheted top and matching skirt — is lying on an exam table as a technician applies clear gel to her stomach and uses an ultrasound-like wand.

    She received a body radiofrequency treatment, which uses electromagnetic waves to promote collagen and elastin production to create tighter skin.

    The retired athlete credited a pal for encouraging her to get the procedure, writing, “On my last trip to Paris a girlfriend of mine treated me to a spa day. She knows after 2 babies I have been self conscious of my tummy. I just had to post this video she took.”

    She went on to share that her “results have been amazing,” writing, “I can see progress with my skin going back to normal and my confidence coming back.”

    “Listen my body will never be the same but neither will I cause I have 2 amazing lights in my life. @Olympiaohanian and @adiraohanian,” she said, tagging her 6-year-old daughter, Olympia Ohanian , and 10-month old baby, Adira Ohanian .

    The retired athlete continued that she would “always feel guilty” for taking time away from her daughters, but also realizes she needs to prioritize her own well-being as it will help her “take better care of them.”

    “I will always love my birthing scars but I just wanted to say thanks to my friend Mia and Nat for letting me know it’s ok to take time for myself away from work and kids,” she wrote, tagging the Maison Lutétia spa and its founder, Nathanaël Aknine.
