Traditional lipo, Smart Lipo or Cool Sculpting- which is better for arms?

December 7, 2014
Asked By:MicheleSweeney in Kirkland, WA

I am 35 yrs old and have always had undefined arms with a tinge of "wing fat". As I'm getting older I'm noticing the skin sagging a lil bit more and want to do something now before it gets outta hand. Not all DRs offer all 3 modalities in their office and usually they advocate the service they offer.....but how do you know which is best for a minimal effect if fat removal and skin tightening without a need for major skin or fat removal??
