What can I do to tighten the skin on my arms? Will J-Plasma work? (photos)

Be careful. J-Plasma might be too much and cause wrinkling. A more simple idea as your arms are not that bad is radiofrequency (ThermiSmooth 250). No pain or downtime and less money than invasive therapies. Consider this option. Hope this helps...JB

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.

I have tried a lot of machines over the years, but I do think that there is merit to this device, which appears to have better skin tightening and much less possibility for burns.  BodyTite does not remove any fat, but it is capable of producing a 45% contraction in tissues.  It can be combined with liposuction to improve contours dramatically.

Unfortunately, most of the current, relatively expensive device technologies touted for treating lax skin have proven disappointing--more "bells and whistles" and device manufacturer marketing hype than true benefits. The use of injectable biostimulatory "skin boosters" is one simple and relatively inexpensive approach that has been used for laxity in both the upper arms and thighs and for  crepey, crinkly skin of the lower face. Skin booster, such as "Restylane Skin Boosters,"  Hydromax & Juvederm Volite, injected superficially in a variety of patterns (fanning, microdroplet grid, cross-hatching) work by hydrating the overlying skin and increasing skin turgor, which translates into tightening and smoothing of the overlying skin, and stimulating new, native collagen and elastic fiber production. Typically a series of two to four treatment session that engender little to no significant downtime  spaced at monthly intervals is necessary to achieve optimal results. I use all three of the aforementioned products in my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers are currently available in the States. In my NY office, I rely upon Restylane Silk for this purpose. Before jumping to some "next big thing" to come along device, you would be wise to seek consultation with a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck. 

Great question. I believe J-plasma would be a great option for you to tighten your arms. I love doing the procedure and the results have been amazing overall.

J-Plasma, ThermiTight, and BodyTite are all suitable options to tighten loose arm skin without surgery. My preference is ThermiTight. More important is that you find a physician that has experience treating the arms for an in-person consultation and evaluation. Best wishes.

Yes, it will work, in combination. Non surgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of vanquish, venus legacy, exilis, celllutone/Zwave. However for best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like a VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer
 

To tighten arm skin, you need a relatively robust device, since the skin is thick. While j plasma may be effective, bodytite is a better option for brachioplasty. I have been using the body tite device for arms and have been universally pleased with its effectiveness. Look into that option as well and you’ll wind up satisfied with your result

JPlasma (Renuvion) is demonstrating amazing results when it comes to sculpting upper arms. Of course, effectiveness can be highly dependent upon your tissue type and specific goals so consulting in person with a board certified plastic would be the best way to determine what might be best for you.However, keep in mind that surgeons practice what they know, so if a surgeon doesn't have the technology, they won't recommend it.  If you like the results JPlasma has been demonstrating, consult with practitioners that have the device, and make sure you like the results they've been getting.  Similar to not having the technology, if they haven't used it on arms before, they may not be comfortable treating that particular area. Be picky when it comes to your surgeon, after all, it's the only body you get! Best of luck! 

Thank you for your question and posting your pictures. J-Plasma (renamed Renuvion) and BodyTite are two excellent treatments for tightening the skin. Based on the appearance of your arms you would be an excellent candidate for either of these treatments. While laser tightening results have been limited to about 15% tightening, these minimally invasive treatments have shown much more dramatic tissue and skin tightening. My preference on the arms is BodyTite over Renuvion but both procedures should give you an excellent result.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
