What is the Best Laser for Skin Tightening on the Arms?

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.

Hi there-

If you believe the skin on your arms (or anywhere else) is loose and that this is creating an appearance with which you are displeased, it is most likely that only surgery will give you an outcome with which you are pleased...

Unfortunately, the currently available technologies produce minimal (if any) true change in the appearance of excess skin, or in that of skin with poor elasticity.

Think of it this way- (I say this often to my own patients in my Orlando Plastic Surgery, Skin Care, and Hair Restoration Center)- the only thing worse than being unhappy with the way you look is to spend your money, have a painful procedure, and STILL be unhappy with the way you look....

Don't waste your time and money....

Good try -- lasers do not tighten arm skin. A lot of doctors may try to use them for this, but the results are disappointing.
