FAQ
Arm skin is thinner than many other body areas and frequently exposed to UV damage. The arms also have less underlying muscle support and fewer oil glands, making them more susceptible to moisture loss, breakdown of essential proteins, and the papery texture characteristic of crepey skin.
The best treatment depends on your skin’s condition. Ultherapy, Sofwave, and Thermage FLX excel for significant tightening and lifting, ThermiTight provides dramatic firming through radiofrequency, Fraxel improves texture and stimulates hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastic fiber production, while Sculptra and Radiesse offer gradual, long-term improvement through biostimulation.
Arm skin requires specialized approaches due to its thickness, lower sensitivity, and different healing patterns. We adjust energy levels, penetration depths, and treatments specifically for arm anatomy to ensure optimal safety and results.
Yes, most of our treatments can address both arms simultaneously. This approach is often more convenient and cost-effective while ensuring symmetrical results. Treatment time varies from 30-90 minutes depending on the technology used.
Results timelines vary by treatment. Some technologies like IPL and Fraxel Dual show immediate skin quality improvement, while Ultherapy, Sofwave, Thermage FLX and ThermiTight provide gradual tightening over 3-6 months as new hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastic fiber production occurs. Biostimulators continue improving skin for up to two years.
While treatments dramatically improve existing crepiness, normal aging continues. However, the enhanced hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastic fiber production generated by treatments provides ongoing benefits. We recommend maintenance treatments and excellent sun protection to preserve your results long-term.
Our treatments are FDA-approved or cleared and performed by board-certified dermatologists with extensive experience in arm skin rejuvenation.
