Does BBL work with flabby arms?

Question

Will the bbl help with the loose skin on my arm that hangs? There's arm fat but it hangs when I bring my arms up.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

The SkinTyte protocol with BBL can help stimulate collagen and tighten skin but I don’t believe by your description of how your skin hangs along with arm fat that this would be a good solution for you. Of course a consultation with an experienced provider would be most appropriate

Hi Mikieee! In your case I would recommend doing morpheus a pose to BBL. Morpheus is another laser that is know for all things skin tightening. For best results we recommend 3 treatments of morpheus about 4-6 weeks apart.

Hello Mikiee,
Thanks for your question. Broad band Light is a rejuvenation treatment that works to globally rejuvenate the skin and make it healthier, more even, less blotchy, less pigmented and less red. We are basically reversing the age of your skin by promoting healthier skin cells and "turning on" youthful genes. There is a skin tightening aspect to the BBL but it would be targeting the texture and perhaps smoothing out the "crepey" skin. If you are looking at non-surgical approaches to treat arm fat, then CoolSculpting, Emsculpt NEO and Exilis Ultra are likely going to give you the results you desire. The most important first step is to consult with a clinic that has a lot of experience and one that offers more than one type of technologically so that the best protocol (possibly a combination of technologies) can be offered. Hope this helps! All the best, Manish Khanna, MD FRCPC
