I am working on arm strength training but it would help if arm skin was more responsive. I’ve done microneedling and other skin rejuvenation procedures on the face which have helped tighten skin. What about arms?
Answer: Recommend doing Morpheus8 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Skin tightening for the arms with VASER HI DEF 4D Liposculpture, ThermiRF, fat grafting and arm lift, J plasma, Renuvion, Inmode Nonsurgical options give only mild improvement compared to surgical lifting. Skin tightening can be done with a combination of Vanquish, truSculpt iD, Venus Legacy, Exilis, and Cellutone/Zwave. However for best results, an arm lifting procedure can be combined with a high definition procedure at the same time. I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF 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

Answer: Improve elasticity on arms? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey There are topical treatments that can help with elasticity on the arms. Retinoids, vitamin C, Heparin sulfate and growth factors are a few examples. 3 to 6 months will be needed to assess the Improvement. Sunscreen is important to prevent further damage. Should this not be adequate, you can consider micro-needling with radio frequency, radio frequency or lasers.

Answer: Skin tightening in the arms Hi ctonra:Generally, what works on the face will work on the arms. To some extent, your choice of procedure will depend upon the degree of laxity and whether there is excess fat as well. If you have excess fat, you would want to have CoolSculpting and follow that with a procedure to tighten the skin, or ThermiTight to tighten the skin with additional passes directed to the deeper layers to eliminate fat as well. Other noninvasive options to tighten the arms include PelleFirm and ThermiSmooth, which are completely noninvasive and without downtime although somewhat less dramatic in their results. Although I believe Microneedling with PRP would improve the skin texture, wrinkling, and elasticity, helping to prevent looseness from worsening, I am a bit dubious that it would reverse existing laxity of the underside of the arms.Hoping this is helpful, Dr. Clark
