I'm 129 lbs. 5'5" tall.. Firm arms with a flap. When arms are to my side the wrinkling is obvious. Also above belly button. After my Explant I expect more wrinkled skin. No revision or lift, not an option I would consider. I'm 70 follow healthy lifestyle and good nutrition. Thank you.

Answer: Vanquish for loose skin Thank you for your question. Vanquish Me is an radio-frequency (RF) medical device approved for the destruction of fat cells. Since there is heat generation beneath the skin, modest skin tightening can be seen as well. I would not expect Vanquish Me to be a good choice for the conditions you are describing. Some minimally invasive alternatives would include BodyTite by InMode, J-Plasma by Bovie and ThermiTight. Each of these will provide a more pronounced tightening of the skin and collagen formation. If you want to stay with a non-invasive route there are a number of RF devices which are used on the surface of the skin to promote new collagen formation including Venus Legacy and Excilis. Keep in mind, as we age our collagen production drops year by year so it is important to have an in-person consultation to see if your expectations can be met.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
