If you’re self-conscious about the appearance of your arms whether due to stubborn fat, sagging skin, or both, you’re not alone. Many men and women experience changes in arm tone over time. At Advanced Dermatology’s offices in Lincolnshire and Glencoe, we offer a variety of non-invasive arm skin tightening treatments designed to tighten and contour the arms.

What Causes Arm Sagging?

Arm sagging is most commonly caused by a natural loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone with aging. As we grow older, the body produces less collagen and elastin (which help keep the skin firm and tight) leading to looser, thinner skin, which is more likely to sag.

Other factors that can contribute to arm sagging include weight fluctuations, lack of strength training, sun damage, and genetics.

Can I Prevent Arm Sagging?

While it’s impossible to completely prevent arm sagging, there are several steps you can take to slow down the process and maintain firmer-looking skin. 

Regular strength training can help maintain muscle tone and improve the overall appearance of the upper arms. Additionally, keeping your weight stable helps limit skin stretching which can reduce elasticity over time. Leading a healthy lifestyle by exercising, staying hydrated, eating a nutrient-rich diet, and avoiding excessive sun exposure are also all factors that can help delay the onset of sagging and reduce its severity.

How Can I Get Rid of Loose Arm Skin?

Our non-surgical treatments offered at Advanced Dermatology help tighten loose skin and sculpt the arms for a smoother, more toned appearance. These in-office procedures are carefully selected to help you feel more confident in everything from t-shirts to tank tops.

Non-Invasive Treatments for Arm Sagging

There are several non-surgical treatments available to address arm sagging. One of the most effective treatment options for upper arm fat is CoolSculpting®. This non-invasive procedure works by applying targeted cooling to freeze and eliminate fat cells. 

For sagging skin, tightening devices like Thermage® work by heating the treatment area to stimulate new collagen production, leading to tighter and firmer skin.

TriPollar™ Apollo® Treatment is also an option for those looking to treat sagging arms. This radiofrequency device tightens the skin while improving the appearance of cellulite and enhancing body contours. It works by using radiofrequency energy to heat the underlying tissue, causing a tightening of the collagen, resulting in tighter skin.

CoolSculpting®, Thermage®, and TriPollar™ Apollo® Treatment all have little to no downtime, making them good options for those looking to improve skin sagging without surgery or extended recovery periods.

Benefits of Arm Sagging Treatments

Non-invasive arm tightening treatments (facial for arms) offer a range of benefits without the need for surgery. Benefits from treatments like Thermage® include the tightening of the skin on the arms resulting in a firmer look. This also helps improve arm contours giving a more sculpted and toned appearance. 

The results of these treatments can appear over time allowing the changes to blend with your body’s natural shape. In addition to physical benefits, arm tightening treatments can also boost confidence and self-esteem.
