Will Thermi RF work for loose skin on the upper arms?

ThermiTiight is a nice procedure to tighten lax skin just about anywhere in the body. Arms are a pretty common area that is treated. I think it's important to get advice from someone who can offer you ThermiTight as well as other options like liposuction and/or and arm lift (brachioplasty). The key with choosing a procedure is making sure the procedure fits the problem. If you see a doctor that only offers ThermiTight for your arms, or someone that only offers brachioplasty, you're not likely to get the best advice. When all you have is a hammer, all the world is a nail. I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon that offers all options. That should get you the best advice for you personally. I hope this helps!

#Thermi for arms and bodyRf devices appear to have the best statistics for skin tightening including arms. Thermi smooth can also be used  to get the best results

I have performed ThermiTight procedures to the upper arms and armpit regions for several patients with nice results.  The ThermiTight is an internal treatment.   Another option would be the Thermi250 machine which can be used for external treatments to the upper arms.  Thermi250 requires 3-4 treatments that are about 2 weeks apart vs a single treatment for ThermiTight.

ThermiRF™ is a FDA approved aesthetic device employing temperature controlled radio frequency to treat a variety of aesthetic soft tissue conditions by applying the “Science of Heat” using temperature as a clinical end point. The company coined the term ThermiTight as one of the treatments that this device can do and can work on various parts of the body including arms.

Some people don't have much fat in the upper arm (the ones who do, might be candidates for liposuction) and until Thermage, Ultherapy, Pelleve and now ThermiSmooth, were available, there was no way to tighten the skin unless an arm lift were done. Sometimes, the scar from a brachioplasty can be objectionable, but the surgery can make an incredibly big difference for someone who has a lot of flapping skin, far greater tightening than the non-invasive external energy tightening devices mentioned above. ThermiTight is a minimally invasive technique, that involves inserting a thermal probe underneath the skin and the heat generated can shrink some fat when that is the goal, and/or tighten the dermis underneath the epidermis. In my NYC practice ThermiTight is not always done for the same condition in all patients. I determine in consultation if my patient is a candidate for surgery, non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques for the upper arm.

Many patients have seen success in treating the
upper arms with ThermiRF. ThermiRF is an innovative system that delivers radiofrequency
energy to the treatment area. This targeted energy tightens the skin and melts
unwanted fat cells. Small fat deposits and loose skin on the upper arms are
difficult to treat with diet and exercise, making the arms an ideal treatment
area for ThermiRF. It is best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist
or plastic surgeon who has experience with ThermiRF in order to determine if
this treatment is best for you.
