What is the best treatment for laxed and wrinkled skin on forearms?

Question

My skin on forearms is just starting to show aging.

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your questions regarding forearm skin wrinkling which is just
beginning to show. Forearm skin wrinkling is not an uncommon problem. Typically,
this is due to aging skin and sun exposure. Conservative treatments include
Thermage. If the skin wrinkling becomes severe, you may need a forearm
reduction. During a forearm reduction, excess forearm skin is directly excised.
When considering a forearm reduction, please seek an experienced,
board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience. I hope that I have
answered your question, if you have any more questions regarding forearm
reduction, please call my office.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Most likely, you will find non-surgical treatments are the way to go for the forearm area. Treatments such as Sculptra and lasers can be useful. Not many surgeons offer operations for this area. Best wishes. Dr. Aldo

Hello!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Without pictures it is hard to give you a recommendation. 
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)

For a long time, we had very little to offer in improving forearm skin laxity and sun damage changes. Standard brachioplasty procedures are designed to address the upper arms only. However, newer laser procedures can be very beneficial. These may include BBL (broad band light) which can reduce hyperpigmentation, and induce collagen production to improve skin health.

We do perform a forearm lift, this is an incision from your inner part of your forearm up to your wrist . It is a separate procedure from the arm lift .And usually it gives you a good result.Take care and best wishes.
