Does Sculptra work well to build collagen under the arms?

For tightening and firming the upper arm, I typically recommend a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment known as ThermiTight. ThermiTight uses tiny probes to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the dermal tissue. The energy gently heats the area, leading to constriction and firming. The treatment also boosts more collagen production by the body to create smoother skin from the inside out. Other options are laser tightening with a fractional CO2 laser, Thermage, and diluted fillers using either Radiesse or Sculptra. All of these boost collagen production. Ulthera is great for the back of the arms, but in my opinion not as good for the area you describe. I encourage you to find an experienced, board-certified dermatologist in your area for an in-person assessment and to find out if ThermiTight is the right choice for you. 

Arms need every 2-3 months morpheus, thermage twice a year, and regular monthly RF treatments like legacy/exilis/froma/contoura.  If you want more improvement internally renuvion or bodytite can be performed. if you have sun damage for crepe skin we do cosmelan peels (see link) and then fraxel + BBL.  I suggest you get a formal consult. Sculptra can be used but results wont be dramatic and it needs to be combined with what you are already doing (above) for better results.


As we age the skin sags there is  nothing  you can do that but try preventative  energy-based or thread-based  treatments or get a neck/facelift earlier in the aging process.  There are numerous options and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes but you need a consultation with an expert.


Options include for skin tightening :

thermage radiofrequency to heat skin and tighten it over time and prevent the aging process
ultherapy highintensity ultrasound to contract muscle and tighten the face and neck and prevent the aging process
PDO nova threads or instalift threads for immediate lifting without surgery and long term collagen production
sculptra injections for collagen production to areas of the face and neck with crepe skin or early sagging
btl exilis ultra, venus legacy, thermi250 , or inmode forma/contoura  for constant collagen stimulation monthly with facials
facelift/necklift with fat grafting/fillers if you need a big improvement
ThermiRF or J plasma /Renuvion or Inmode FaceTite   internal heating and tightening to long term internal heating and tighting with or without surgery
Platysmaplasty to tighten the muscles of the neck long term and create contour
Facial implants or fillers to contour the jawline and chin to improve the apperance of the nec k
Fractora/Morphenus8 or Intensif microneedling RF for improve superficial tightening, neck and chest wrinkling and crepe skin 

You need to see an expert in facial sculpting and age prevention.  Best, Dr. Emer.
