Do you avoid clothing that reveals your upper arms? Many people do this because they do not like the skin that is found on their upper arms. The last thing they want people to see is how these areas move around. Thankfully, there are options that are available to tighten the arms and help a person feel more comfortable in their own skin. We would like to tell you who makes a good candidate for arm tightening.

Why You May Have Loose Arm Skin

There are different individuals out there who would benefit from arm tightening. For example, many individuals who were at one time overweight and then used diet and exercise to get down to a healthy weight deal with loose skin on their body. It is common for a person to feel uncomfortable with the way the skin on their arms looks after dramatic weight loss. So an individual who now has sagging skin on their arms because of weight loss may be a good candidate for arm tightening.

The aging process can take a serious toll on all parts of the body. This is also true of the arms. So a person may have had toned and slim arms for most of their life. However, as the years have passed and as their skin is no longer in the same condition that it was in when they were younger, they now have loose arm skin. Individuals who are getting older but want to maintain tight and healthy arms could also benefit from our arm tightening treatments.

Who is a Good Candidate?

The requirements that are looked at when a person wants arm tightening will have a lot to do with the actual treatment or procedure that a person is interested in using. For example, the good thing about non-surgical options that are available is that most interested people tend to qualify for the treatments.

A good candidate for our PDO thread lift arm tightening procedure is in good overall health and has realistic expectations regarding what the treatment can and cannot accomplish. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment.

Aging and weight changes affect almost every part of your body. Some of these areas, such as the upper arms, can be difficult to tone and tighten. Even if you increase muscle mass, the skin may not have enough elasticity to maintain a smooth appearance over the area. If you notice loose skin and fat on the backside of your upper arms, arm tightening with PDO threads may be a good solution.

The Advantages of Arm Tightening with PDO Threads

Arm tightening with PDO threads, also known as the feather lift, is an excellent, minimally-invasive alternative to a traditional arm lift. With this option, there are multiple advantages such as little downtime, no visible side effects, no need for anesthesia, and a higher degree of precision.

Candidates for Arm Tightening with PDO Threads

Those who wish to rejuvenate and/or lift their skin, increase their skin volume, and smooth out their wrinkles may be eligible for this procedure. The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for arm tightening with PDO threads is to schedule a consultation so we can evaluate the skin and fat on your upper arms.

How Arm Tightening with PDO Threads Works

For arm tightening, fine surgical sutures are inserted through absorbable polydioxanone thread, which is then inserted into the skin to lift and support it. Your body begins to develop new collagen and fibrous tissue shortly after the PDO threads are inserted into the upper arm area. The result is a firmer, younger appearance. This procedure can also be supplemented with other therapies such as laser skin treatment and injectables for a fully revitalized appearance. Results tend to last from six months to a full year, after which a sequence of follow-up treatments can help you maintain the optimal effects.
