I’m trying to find the best procedure to correct crepey/loose upper arms.
Unfortunately, lax skin, especially in this area of the arms, is often an age-related "development", despite a healthy diet and exercise program. If you have loose or lax skin, you will need to undergo treatment specifically designed to tighten skin. There are very good non-invasive options, using various energy types, such as RF, laser or US energy, that can stimulate new collagen production in your skin, which will help to tighten it over time. These devices generally require a series of treatment sessions, but are typically very easy to undergo, with little to no downtime or discomfort. Results may take 3-6 months to be fully realized, so patience is critical with this process. There is also a newer minimally-invasive option that provides exceptional results - Renuvion Skin Tightening (formerly known as J Plasma). Unlike the non-invasive options, it's a one-and-done, without the need for subsequent treatments. Renuvion® is a minimally-invasive procedure to help you achieve a sculpted, firm body with less expense, downtime, and discomfort than traditional excisional plastic surgery procedures. Delivering heat to tissue in a way that was never before possible, Renuvion® utilizes technological advances in cool plasma energy to provide rapid tissue contraction without excising the extra tissue and creating long scars. You should be seen by an experienced cosmetic specialist, who has multiple treatment options available to offer, so you can undergo whichever will be best for your particular case. Some patients prefer the non-invasive option, while others desire whichever procedure produces the best results with single procedure, even if there's a bit of downtime.
