Lax skin on the upper arms, commonly referred to as “bat wings”, is a concern for many people. Both overweight and slim patients struggle with this issue, which is often the result of the natural ageing process. Fortunately, there are many ways to restore skin firmness and wear sleeveless tops without embarrassment. It is worth incorporating exercises that strengthen the arm muscles, as well as using firming creams and lotions. If excess skin in the arm area is significant enough that home methods do not bring results, it is worth considering non-invasive treatments available at our Clinic.
At Dr Parda Aesthetic Medicine Clinic, we perform fractional thermal lifting with microneedle radiofrequency, which combines two mechanisms of action – 3D microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Microneedle radiofrequency works at three different tissue levels, which is why revitalisation and regeneration occur not only superficially, but also in the deeper layers of the skin. The treatment does not cause photosensitivity, so it may be performed all year round.
The handpiece, equipped with gold-coated needles, emits radiofrequency waves while puncturing the skin, which leads to three-dimensional heating of the tissue and, as a result, collagen remodelling. Thanks to this, the skin becomes firmer, denser, and thicker.
The treatment has been designed to ensure full safety and rapid skin healing. Thanks to the technology of smooth needle insertion, the procedure is more comfortable for the patient. The pulses are emitted only after the needles have entered the skin, which means the epidermis is not burned. As a result, the skin recovers quickly even in sensitive individuals. This non-invasive upper arm skin lifting treatment provides long-lasting firming effects. The result is not visible immediately, but develops gradually over time as the collagen rebuilding process progresses.
