This issue is the concern of many people in the society, especially women; So these people are looking for effective methods to remove loose arm skin or excess fat on their arms. Many people genetically have loose and full arms; So that even with regular exercise and diet and weight loss, they have not been able to reach their desired shape. If your arm fat and sagging skin in this area is low to moderate, you can use laser arm surgery to lift and shape your arms.

In fact, this type of laser surgery is a way to lift the skin and, as a result, make the body look well-shaped, which we discuss in detail in this article.

Use of laser to shape the arms

This method is less invasive than other surgeries; During this method, laser beams with a specific frequency are directed to the skin of the arm, which leads to the contraction of the skin of the arm, and as a result of the tightening of the skin of the arm, the arm looks more well-shaped and firmer.

This method is based on stimulating the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, which play an important role in the elasticity and freshness of the skin.

How is arm surgery performed with laser?

During this procedure, the doctor makes a small incision on the arm. Then the laser energy is delivered to the arm through this incision and turns the excess fat of the arm into liquid. Then, this fat is removed with the least amount of damage to the adjacent tissues.

Laser arm surgery takes 30 to 90 minutes and must be performed under the supervision of a dermatologist. The place that is treated with laser gets a little warm, but it is tolerable and not overwhelming; Therefore, it does not require anesthesia and during the first session, the results are clear and visible.

Note that before performing this surgery, do not use any skin care product in the desired area and avoid using any kind of peeling or peeling in the desired area one month before the laser arm lift. After surgery, protect the surgical area with sunscreen.

Traditional arm surgery

Before we compare the traditional arm surgery method with the laser arm surgery method, it is necessary to provide explanations about the traditional surgery. In the traditional method, which is also called brachioplasty, an incision is made on the inner part of the arm. Usually, the location of this incision extends from the patient's armpit to his elbow. Then the excess fat and skin of the arm is removed to make the arms more shapely, slimmer and firmer.

Traditional arm surgery is better or laser arm surgery?

Both arm surgery methods have unique advantages; But laser arm surgery is ideal for people who have less fat in this area and loose arm skin. But because this method tightens the skin instead of removing it, it cannot correct the skin of the arm and drain excess fat as much as traditional surgery. Therefore, people who have very loose skin or excess fat in the arm area may be a more suitable option for them.

Finding the right method for you depends on the amount of arm fat and the looseness of your arm skin; To choose the best and most effective method, you can ask your doctor for guidance so that the best result can be obtained.

Effectiveness of laser arm surgery

The results of the treatment gradually become more and more effective; Most likely, 6 sessions are enough for complete recovery and the desired result.

During a study, 20 women underwent laser treatment to reduce the size of their arms, and three months later, the results of their treatment were measured. This research showed that the arm circumference of these women has decreased significantly during this period, and also, the skin of their arms has improved and become firmer. Then, the researchers came to the conclusion that this method is very safe and the patient can tolerate it well, and it is also effective in improving and beautifying the skin of the arm. Arm lift with laser is very effective and ideal for people who have little fat and little sagging skin.
