Skin tightening arms. Will Thermage help? (Photo)

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.

Hello; For this type of skin; best non-invasive application is; Thermage FLX Body treatment. As for invasive; I recommend for Vaserlipo and Renuvion J Plasma procedures.

Hello; the best non-invasive treatment for relaxation in your arms is Thermage FLX. By this way, your arms become tighter and have a younger texture. Thermage FLX is a painless, comfortable treatment type that; protects the skin with its special cold applicator head which brings the subcutaneous area to 80°; keeps the skin surface at 20° and with its vibration feature. Thermage FLX is a high-tech monopolar radiofrequency system that acts on the skin and subcutaneous deep tissues and provides repairment and restoration; due to collagen stimulation. It is implemented in a single session. Its effects remain for years. It does not affect daily routine life. It is an extremely short process. On the other hand, if you are considering for an interventional application, I recommend for J Plasma. J Plasma is an interventional technique; that is applied in the operating room platform. It can also be practiced; after the Vaser Lipo method for tightening loose skin. Only J Plasma application is preferred for patients; who have had a stomach operation, lost weight quickly, have genetically thin skin and are relaxed. It corrects sagging areas and rejuvenates the related skin. J Plasma gives an extremely satisfactory results in body shaping. It is a one session. Affects are permanent. You can select for one of these two methods. Both of them; will make you so happy.

Thermage® is a safe, non-invasive, radiofrequency (RF) cosmetic procedure that’s clinically proven to help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime —on all skin colors, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Fast and easy, you can even come in during your lunch break and return to work after! Thermage® uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep, collagen rich layers of your skin. The heat helps tighten existing collagen and stimulate the formation of new collagen, which reduces sagging, renews contours, and improves the smoothness and texture of the skin’s surface. Comfort Pulse Technology, including a vibrating handpiece delivers enhanced patient comfort. Thermage® can treat wrinkled, sagging or bulging skin as well as the appearance of cellulite. While you will see an improvement immediately, Thermage® usually takes up to 6 months to see the maximum result and this improvement is said to last approximately 18 months. Often patients repeat Thermage® more often to get additional tightening. Additionally, micro-RF can help tighten and smooth the skin. This is micro-needling and can be completed in the office during an appointment. If a patient is left with severely hanging skin as a result of age or weight loss, a brachioplasty will be the most effective procedure—though once again, the trade-off for tightness is a big scar. Today an arm lift (brachioplasty) procedure takes a relatively quick two to three hours, typically under twilight sedation and local anesthesia. The excess fat is sucked out using liposuction, the underlying connective tissues are tightened, extra skin is removed, and the skin is sutured into place. Your mobility won’t be too restricted, and many patients find they can return to work after a week. It's important, of course, to make sure you see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist because results can be variable depending on who is performing the procedure.
