I read an NIH article from a 2016 study using Radiesse for upper arm lax, crepy skin that showed great promise. I am near Pittsburgh, PA. and wondered if there are any plastic surgeons using fillers in this way? Can fillers be used effectively in the upper arm instead of the more radical brachioplasty procedure?

Answer: Laxity and Crepey Skin Laxity of the skin, especially as it relates to the color of the skin, is part of normal aging and can be associated with weight loss. There are many ways to treat this effectively to set the skin back to a better structure. Sculptura and Radiesse, collagen stimulators, can be used to make the skin more youthful. There are also different topical agents that can be used to help this. Schedule a consultation with an experienced professional to determine which method will be best suited for you.

Answer: Radiesse Thank you for your question. You can use Radiesse to in the upper arm. It can be used to plump the skin in areas that are sunken and wrinkled. The microspheres of calcium within it work to pump the injected skin and also encourage your body to stimulate collagen in those areas. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
