Can thread lifts be used in place of arm lifts and help knees?

Question

Hello I'm a petite 60 yo woman that's lost a lot of weight. I was wondering if threadlifts could be used on my arms since I'm not very big? Also can threadlifts be used above the knees to help with crepey loose skin. I feel so uncomfortable wearing dresses, shorts or short sleeve blouses. I'm in pretty good shape except for my arms and legs. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the jury is still out on threadlifts vis-a-vis durability of results, adverse reactions, rates of infection, etc.  So, before deciding upon them for your particular problems, you might consider looking into the use of injectable, hyaluronic acid-based bioremodeling agents, such as Profhilo, and injectable skin boosters, such as Viscoderm Hydroboosters or Restylane Skinboosters--the combination of which has been successfully used for treating loose and crepey skin of the neck, upper arms, upper thighs and around the elbows and knees. I personally have successfully used it to treat crepey, crinkly skin of the upper chest and periumbilical areas, as well. Typically, a minimum of two treatment sessions are required to realize optimal improvement. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck to you.

Arms and knees can be tightened up with micro lipo and bodytite quite nicely and easily.  Dont waste money and time on threadlifts for these areas.
