Has anyone experienced bad results for skin tightening on inner arms?

Question

Bought a 6 session package from a tech for tightening skin on inner arms. After 2 sessions a doctor stepped in to do the treatments instead of tech as techs were no longer allowed to do treatments. After 4 treatments, outside arms got worse and the doctor said tech should have never sold me the package for what I wanted. Doctor offered to do my neck for the remaining treatments. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for your
question, and sorry that you are not getting the results you want and are being
told that this area is not for the RF skin-tightening devices. This is a great
area for skin tightening, and we use our RF devices in the arms for tightening
all the time. The question of who can do what depends on where you are living
and what the rules and regulations are there. Although I don’t like the word
techs, we do have skilled and highly trained aestheticians and medical
personnel using these devices, under my supervision, which works very well in
most every instance. You might want to consult with a board-certified
dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area and get some better information.

I'm curious as to why the doctor told you that techs could not do the treatment any longer; I do not know of any changes in the regulations in New Jersey that would have affected the ability to run a RF device. Also, I was curious if the doctor told you what type of treatment you should have had on your arms - liposuction or something else? We have had very good results with the Tripollar Apollo for circumferential reduction and skin tightening of the upper arms, so I wanted to try to figure out what was different about your case.
