Is there any tightening agent that can be used on arm slip skin?

Question

I am 60 yrs old, of normal weight and height. I have worked with weights and yoga but still have droopy skin on thin arms. It is so repulsive. I have been told not to wear sleeveless. Can anything be done? I don't think it requires surgery.

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.

A picture would be helpful. Various procedures can be performed including liposuction with skin tightening in a minimally invasive way. Invasive evaluation would include a brachioplasty procedure.Simple exercise with a personal trainer at times may also help build up the muscle. Good luck.
