Scarless Arm Lift in San Antonio
Oh, those frustrating, flabby-looking upper arms! As we age, our skin loses elasticity and starts to sag. Over-exposure to the sun, fluctuating weight, and even genetics can make upper arms droop and jiggle. Yet, you cannot exercise your way to a solution. There is a fix, though, and it doesn’t have to involve surgery.
Welcome to the Scarless Arm Lift! Finally, you can say goodbye to flabbiness and say hello to firmer, smoother, younger-looking arms.
What is a Scarless Arm Lift?
Up till now, the only way to eliminate upper arm sagginess was to undergo invasive surgery. Our Scarless Arm Lift is a non-surgical alternative that combines Renuvion J-Plasma skin tightening with VASER Liposuction, if needed, to produce surgical-like results. Since it really is scarless, no one will ever know. You can feel attractive and confident again wearing sleeveless tops, tanks, and swimwear.
With traditional arm lift surgery, called brachioplasty, the surgeon makes an incision down the inside of each arm from the armpit to the elbow, then removes excess fat and skin, repositions underlying tissues, and sutures the remaining skin back together. This may be your only option if you have severe skin laxity and fatty deposits. However, for those who haven’t reached that point yet, the Scarless Arm Lift offers numerous benefits.
Who is a good candidate?
The best candidates for the Scarless Arm Lift are typically in their 30s to 50s, with mild to moderate loose skin on their arms. As with any surgery, it is best if you are in good overall health, close to your ideal weight, don’t smoke, and have realistic expectations about the results.

What happens during a Scarless Arm Lift?
Dr. Elizabeth Hernandez custom-tailors each arm lift procedure to the patient, using the most advanced skin rejuvenation techniques — Renuvion J-Plasma and, sometimes, VASERlipo.
She performs the Renuvion treatment first. After applying a numbing agent, she makes 1 or 2 tiny “puncture” incisions, then uses Renuvion’s unique radiofrequency-heated helium gas plasma to contract the septal fiber network, proteins, and collagens in the skin. Next, she inserts a thin liposuction cannula into the same incision, using advanced VASER Liposuction to remove any excess fat. With her skill and expertise, she is able to produce contours that look more youthful and toned and skin that looks firmer and smoother.
To finalize the procedure, Dr. Hernandez applies a soothing recovery cream.
