Treatment for sagging arm skin after weight loss
Congratulations on your weight loss! A photograph would be necessary to adequately evaluate your upper arms, but generally speaking, there is no good non-surgical option for treating saggy upper arm skin, especially after significant weight loss. Your only solution is an arm lift (brachioplasty) and I encourage you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your situation in more detail.
I hope that helps and wish you all the best!

Sagging Arms
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, there are no good noninvasive options to treat “sagging upper arms due to rapid weight loss”. If you hear otherwise you should be very skeptical. You may end up wasting time and money and being very dissatisfied with the results.
Armlifting will probably be beneficial to improve contour if you are willing to accept the resulting scar (which is often problematic).
I hope this helps.

Only surgery will effectively address marked laxity of the upper arm skin
You have sagging, excess skin of your upper arms which will not retighten spontaneously. Unfortunately for you, the only way to get rid of the considerable excess of skin and properly contour your arms would be with skin removal which requires surgery. This procedure is known as an arm lift (brachioplasty). There is no non-invasive method to rectify your situation.

Sagging arm skin after weight loss
It is not typically useful to try non-invasive options in a case where there is lots of excess skin. This is because the non-surgical methods for tightening skin are fairly subtle.

Arm sagging
While there are some skin tightening lasers, they do not offer a true lift., Usually the best solution is an arm lift operation.

Sagging upper arms, liposuction, Thermage or full arm lift?
Without a photograph is difficult to evaluate the amount of sagging that you have. If it is mild to moderate the best non-invasive method is Thermage Skin Tightening. If you have considerable sagging no amount of Thermage will improve it. Liposuction alone may help which involves a quarter inch incision just above your elbow. If the sagging is really bad the only possible option is liposuction preferably with the VASER and an arm lift which involves a scar on the upper arm.

Revision Surgery May Be Needed
One of the most frustrating outcomes of Body Contouring Surgery Following Weight Loss is the re-stretching of the skin, especially to the Upper Arms or Inner Thighs. The degree of stretching is due to many factors: age, genetics, amount of skin/fat removed during surgery. Some patients need a second operation to achieve their goals.
I recommend that you have a consultation with your Plastic Surgeon to explore the options that are available. I do not recommend any Laser Skin...

Sagging skin has no nonsurgical "fix"
Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm sure it's frustrating to now deal with loose skin, and I completely understand your desire for a nonsurgical option. The truth is that you could spend a small fortune on laser treatments or radiofrequency treatments and get some minimal "result". But I doubt that small change would be worth what you spend to get it. The only way to definitively get rid of the loose skin on your arms is with a...
