Question

Looking to get lipo and jplasma skin tightening on arms but unsure if it will be ineffective due to excessive skin laxicity. Any opinions?

Mark H. Tseng, MD · Answer

Renuvion/J-Plasma is a minimally invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift loose or sagging skin. While it can be effective for mild to moderate skin laxity, it may not be sufficient for more severe cases where there is a significant amount of excess skin.
If you have excessive skin laxity, a surgical procedure like a armlift may be a better option. A armlift can remove excess skin and tighten underlying muscles, providing more dramatic and long-lasting results.
It's important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual concerns and determine the best treatment plan for you. They can help you determine if Renuvion/J-Plasma or another treatment option is the most appropriate choice based on your unique needs and goals.

From your photos you will have the best outcome from a brachioplasty.  Liposuction will remove some of the fatty tissue but you may still have lax hanging skin even with J Plasma.  I've included a video on brachioplasty that I hope you find helpful.

I have seen very good results with liposuction and Renuvion in women similar to you. I would suggest going with Renuvion. Later, if not tight enough, you can always do the excision. However, the long scar does show.

Thank you for your question. Renuvion/Jplasma is a minimally invasive treatment that can provide effective skin tightening for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. However, if you have excessive skin laxity, it may not be sufficient to achieve the level of tightness that you desire. In such cases, an arm lift procedure may be recommended instead. Based on your pictures, it will depend on your goals. If you want tight arms then a lift will be recommended. The best way to determine if Renuvion/Jplasma is right for you is to schedule a consultation with a cosmetic surgeon. Hope it helps.
