I am 50 yrs old and have this disgusting creepy wrinklied skin on the inside of my arms where the elbow bends. I am thin and lift weights on a regular basis. Haven't lost any weight. Is there any tightening procedure that might work on this area? Could this issue be caused from lack of iron?

Answer: Wrinkled Skin on the Inside of Arm There are many reasons for crepey skin underneath the arms. This may be a function of aging, weight loss, natural skin tone, etc. The treatment options for this type of skin range along the spectrum of plastic surgical care. Options include laser therapy, skin peels, radiofrequency tightening and surgical skin removal and tightening. The most definitive treatment is surgical intervention, but it does come at the cost of a scar, generally hidden on the inner portion of the arm/elbow. The results are generally very good and appreciated by the patients. It's critical that you seek the advice of a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery and has extensive experience in body contouring.I wish you the best, Dr. Gabbay.
