What can I do about my creepy loose skin on my arms?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding arm skin laxity. Without visual assessment, a personalized recommendation is challenging. Nonetheless, an arm lift and reduction, medically termed brachioplasty, could be suitable for your case. Please note that further liposuction may exacerbate skin excess. In cases where the forearm region requires treatment, the incision can extend from the armpit to the wrist.

I specialize in arm lift surgeries, including arm reduction, brachioplasty, and arm fat grafting. Should you have any additional inquiries or concerns regarding arm lift procedures, do not hesitate to contact my office. However, please be advised that arm lift surgery is intricate, and as such, I recommend that you seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience in performing such surgeries. It would be best if you conducted research and ensure that your chosen plastic surgeon has conducted at least a hundred successful arm lifts and possesses before-and-after photographs to validate their proficiency. It would also be prudent to scrutinize their before-and-after gallery and verify their reviews on RealSelf.

Sincerely,

Dr. Katzen.
