Jowls, Upper Neck and Arm Flaps
4 months post thermitight procedure and as you can see very little change on jowl and neck. Arm flaps are back to same as they were before now that sweeling is gone. The skin looks as creepy as it was before. I was hoping for some improvement but none so far. The circumference on my arms is smaller but flaps and creepy skin when arms down look the same. Is supposed to work up to a year. I doubt that I'll see any improvement anymore. Will update at 6months.

good luck
But then this other guy, the Thermi god who told me I was the perfect candidate for thermight. It did not improve a thing, but did make it worse. I m Ean, much much worse. I let him know that I was not at all happy, so he reluctantly did it again, and at my request did micro needling with PRP--ONE TIME! Well, MN does not work when you do it just once, and I'm sure he knew that. Anything to get me out of his. office.
I"ve since found a really good dermatologist--NOT a jack of all trades (we do it ALL! Face lifts, boobs, tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, nose jobs, botox, fillers, lasers ... come on ... no one can specialize in that much and really be an expert!) So I now see a highly skilled dermatologist who was very upfront with me: Fitzgerald-type skin, cool sculpting probably not a good idea, and she also said that the radio frequencies have a real hit and miss, and for fair skinned people, they don't seem to be performing well.
I have no seen even one thermi procedure (REAL, that is, there are some fakes even on here) that have worked. In my case, it made the. skin on my belly look hellacious, just horrible, It's so depressing. I paid a lot of money for that, and it cost me a bunch. I'm just really glad it's not my face.
If I were you, I'd complain mightily about this and see if you cannot at least get a credit to use for botox and fillers while you see a real surgeon who can do something more for your arms. That's really the only thing that will work for arms. It's the curse of growing older--along with neck and jowls. Fortunately, necks and faces can get really great results with lasers, but I don't think I've ever seen lasers done on arms.
Losing weight can help, and building up your biceps will lift up that sagging skin. Other than that, it would be surgery, and the guy who did this to you should have known that.
I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. Just be glad it's not your face.
Thermi is like that one RF for the face that las left so many scarred. I cannot recall the name, but it was hyped real big when it first fame out about 15 years ago. It usually does not work, but when it goes bad, it really goes bad. At least thermi won't disfigure your face.
Hit the gym when covid is over and. use the pull-up machine. Built your biceps as big as you can get them! And take solace that even the most beautiful women in our age group show that aging arm (Sharon Stone, Catherin Zeta Jones, and more). We're still women, still beautiful, and that's just one thing that Mother Nature has in store for all of us.
