Summer is coming—are your arms ready to look their best in those stylish warm-weather outfits? Or are they feeling less firm, perhaps a bit plump or even jiggly? Renuvion J-Plasma skin tightening can restore smoother, firmer skin, helping you feel confident showing off your arms.
For those dealing with stubborn fat or cellulite, combining Renuvion with VASERlipo and Cellfina treatment can further enhance results. Cellfina for cellulite specifically targets dimpled skin, creating a smoother, more toned appearance. We call this our Scarless Arm Lift, a minimally invasive solution to achieve slimmer, more contoured arms.
Tightening Skin on the Upper Arms with Renuvion J-Plasma and Cellfina
Renuvion J-Plasma is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency energy and helium gas to heat structural components of the skin, including collagen and proteins, while also addressing the underlying fibrous septal network. This innovative approach makes it highly effective for tightening loose skin on the upper arms.
How the Renuvion J-Plasma Procedure Works
To perform the Renuvion J-Plasma procedure, Dr. Hernandez makes a few tiny incisions to insert the device wand beneath the skin. This precise heating process is both gentle and effective, with minimal risk to surrounding tissue. The treatment is performed in-office using local anesthetic and typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour to treat both upper arms.
Who is a Good Candidate for Renuvion J-Plasma?
For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, Renuvion J-Plasma skin tightening offers a great solution to maintain a youthful appearance before significant sagging develops. Additionally, for those concerned about Cellfina cellulite, pairing Cellfina treatment with Renuvion J-Plasma can further improve skin texture and smoothness by targeting dimpled skin and tightening sagging areas.
The Benefits of Renuvion J-Plasma for Skin Tightening
One of the key advantages of Renuvion J-Plasma is that it delivers superior skin contraction—achieving up to 60% skin tightening compared to the usual 40%-45% from other treatments. The visual improvements can be dramatic, particularly because Renuvion also resurfaces the skin, resulting in a more uniform tone and smoother texture.
When is a Brachioplasty Needed?
While Renuvion J-Plasma and Cellfina treatment are highly effective for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, patients with severe skin laxity may require a brachioplasty (surgical skin removal) to achieve the most dramatic improvements. During a consultation, Dr. Hernandez can determine the best treatment option based on your specific needs and goals.
Eliminating Fat on the Upper Arms with Renuvion and Cellfina
Some patients, such as athletes and those who are very thin, may not have excess fat in their arms and can benefit from Renuvion J-Plasma skin tightening alone. However, most individuals with loose skin on the upper arms also have excess fat, which can weigh down the skin and contribute to sagging.
Combining Renuvion J-Plasma, VASERlipo, and Cellfina
To achieve optimal arm contouring, Dr. Hernandez can address both skin laxity and excess fat in the same treatment session. By combining Renuvion J-Plasma with VASERlipo, she can tighten the skin while also eliminating unwanted fat deposits. Additionally, Cellfina treatment can be incorporated for those dealing with Cellfina cellulite, smoothing out dimpled skin for a more toned appearance. This comprehensive procedure is known as the Scarless Arm Lift.
Recovery and Long-Lasting Results
Because Dr. Hernandez performs two procedures back-to-back, the Scarless Arm Lift takes slightly longer than Renuvion treatment alone. However, results from Renuvion J-Plasma, VASERlipo, and Cellfina are permanent, provided patients maintain a stable weight. Some initial swelling is expected following the treatment, and patients should allow two days for recovery before resuming daily activities.
What About Your Forearms?
Skin laxity can affect the entire arm, not just the upper portion. However, Dr. Hernandez does not recommend Renuvion J-Plasma skin tightening for the forearms. Instead, for patients seeking to improve skin texture and tone in this area, she suggests Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling as a more effective solution.
For those concerned about Cellfina cellulite on the forearms, Cellfina treatment may also be an option to help smooth dimpled skin and enhance overall skin appearance. During a consultation, Dr. Hernandez can determine the best treatment plan based on individual needs.
