Looks great! Thanks for such a complete review.
It doesn't look that much differences. Thank you for sharing the experience.
Thanks? For your opinion I guess. I lost about 1.25” off each arm so it is quite a large difference.
While it looks better, it seems that the skin is less than tight, Will it resolve itself?
Wow. It has really worked. Your arms look great and the difference is obvios. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing difference. Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
are these results after just one treatment? wondering why it cost so much? I’ve been researching my area and I was expecting around $1500
Yes it was $600 per spot but the large paddle didn’t fit properly on my arms, so she used two small ones on each instead. So it was $600 x 4 for me.

9 weeks out

8 week followup went well and she was also very happy with my results. Hoping to still see a tiny bit more shrinkage in the next month.

looks good... do you think it tighten your skin also
I’m not sure if the procedure itself tightened the skin, but the fat left and my skin did tighten up after. I was using a cream called Vivier Grenzcine which is supposed to help as well.
I think your arms look amazing! I lost 100 lbs in a very short amount of time and am not a candidate for plastic surgery of any kind (on blood thinners and have multiple heath issues). My arms always had loose skin but now it's terrible. I'm wondering if this might work for me.
I’d definitely shop around for a good place near you and ask them. The girl I saw did a very good evaluation, pinching and pulling on my arms, and gave good realistic expectations.
These results are fantastic! I had coolsculpt on my chin a few days ago and I hope it works. I’d love to get my arms one as well especially after seeing your results.
Hi Juli here bout my armlift , cost depends on if you ask for hospital that's not expensive and everyone's different my surgeon charged $6600 , adding hospital, anaesthetic theatre all up arm lift cost me all together with surgeon costs hosp etc $11, 700 , l got back $702 from Medicare , no l had no drastic weight loss at all just saggy arms hun
Do you have any idea how many inches you lost on each arm? I’m looking to get this done too!
Yes I did take measurements, lost about an inch from each.

Wanted to collage the pictures so far. Seems like it’s all still progressing. I have my follow up next Thursday so I’ll be very interested to see her “professional” before and afters!

Do you see skin tightening with this? Thanks :)
A little bit for considering I have lost so much weight. I was really concerned the fat would leave and I’d have worse loose skin but so far it looks like the fat is leaving and the skin is tightening up a bit. I do use a cream she recommended that’s supposed to help plus I work out so that also helps I think.
Hi, what skin tightening cream do you use?
Which skin tightening cream - please could you share with us?
It is GrenzCine cream for body made by Viver. It’s pretty pricey but does seem to be helping. They have really high rated creams for the face and this body cream is new.
How many sessions have you done?
Just one!
OMG !!! Who is your doctor ?! You look amazing
I saw a lady named Coral at a dermatology office in my city - Reverra dermatology in Edmonton. She was very meticulous!
Did you workout as well?
A bit but nothing crazy. I walk daily and I do Pilates at home 2-3 times a week. But not a whole lot of arm work.
How old are you? I am thinking under 50. I am 61 and the loss of elastin is huge, so not sure this would work for me!
28 so I do have age on my side a bit, although my elasticity was not great after all the weight loss
Be very cautious! At 53, I had CS done on lower abs and though I did not even have much to lose, just post-meno fat, it caused terrible skin sag problems. I regret it now, after two Thermi treatments to try to tighten the skin up. I had never had any issues with droopy skin prior to the CS. I do think that the person who did mine was wrong in choosing the large applicator. What I had did not justify using that big applicator. At 5'7" and 130 pounds, I was hardly large, and the smaller applicator probably wouid have been sufficient. It was too much loss of vital fat under the skin.

So for arms, I would really caution you. Lime you noted, the loss of elastin makes a difference.

I'm wondering if collagen supplants will make any difference for those of us with less elastin.
I've found that Nectifirm from Revision SkinCare works really well in conjunction with Coolsculpting. Even though it is called Nectifirm I use it neck down when I get out of the shower.
