I heard last week on a talk show about a non surgical procedure to remove the loose skin under the arm. It includes ultrasound and red ultra rays.  What is this non surgical arm lift procedure?  Does it work?

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening for Arms?

Thank you for the question. Unfortunately, there is no effective nonsurgical “skin tightening” procedure. Arm lifting ( brachioplasty) is the only way to improve the contour of the upper arms by directly excising the “loose skin”. In person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon will be helpful. Best wishes.

Skin tightening for arm lifting

None of the nonsurgical modalities will accomplish much for bat wings or extensive sagging of the upper arms. They may be efficacious in cases of slight sagging. Definitely see a plastic surgeon who has access to all the modalities and will give you an honest assessment of the likelihood of improvement from Thermage and other noninvasive options.

Skin tightening of the arm

The non-invasive skin tightening lasers may improve the skin quaity but if your arm is very loose the better result will be with a formal brachioplasty.

Skin tightening laser for arm lift and sagging arms

Skin tightening lasers can work.  They do not replace conventional arm lift surgery.  However, I recommend the non-ablative Yag laser for skin tightening of the arms.
