Hanging Arms

Hanging arms, commonly referred to as “bat wings,” are areas of sagging skin and excess fat on the upper arms. This can be a result of aging, weight loss, or reduced skin elasticity. Several non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments are available to address this concern.

Non-Invasive or Minimally Invasive Treatments

1. CoolSculpting (Cryolipolysis)

  • How it works: Fat cells are frozen and gradually eliminated by the body.
  • Effectiveness: Effective for reducing fat in the upper arms; multiple sessions may be needed for best results.

2. Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments

  • How it works: RF energy heats the skin and underlying tissue to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce cellulite.
  • Effectiveness: Can visibly reduce cellulite over several sessions; results may vary.

3. Ultrasound Skin Tightening (Ultherapy):

  • How it works: Ultrasound energy penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production.
  • Effectiveness: Can lift and tighten the skin on the upper arms; results build over time.

4. Laser Lipolysis (SculpSure)

  • How it works: Laser energy targets and heats fat cells, causing them to break down and be absorbed by the body.
  • Effectiveness: Can result in fat reduction and improved contour with minimal downtime.
