Loose upper arms
Loose skin on the inner arm accompanies hormonal decline and cannot be corrected by exercise alone: muscle tissue gradually gives way to fat tissue.

Arms and legs: cellulite, stretch marks and loose skin
Firmness, texture, lightness.
Arms and legs react strongly to hormones and lifestyle: loose inner arms as hormones decline, cellulite linked to oestrogens and cortisol, stretch marks linked to stress, pregnancy or unbalanced diets. After a diagnosis, several non-surgical techniques can be combined.

What we treat
Cellulite
It results from increased fat under the skin, influenced by oestrogens and cortisol. There is a genetic component, but lifestyle makes it worse. Cryolipolysis can treat the thighs, inner knees, backs of the arms, back folds and double chin.
Possible approaches
Stretch marks
Common during adolescence, pregnancy, after unbalanced diets or chronic stress, they are first red (inflammatory phase) and turn white within 12 to 16 months. They mainly affect the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, breasts and arms. The earlier they are treated, the better the result.

Frequently asked questions
Can stretch marks be removed?
A white stretch mark is a scar: its appearance can be clearly improved, but not entirely erased. Red stretch marks, still inflammatory, respond better to treatment, hence the value of consulting early.
Is exercise enough for loose upper arms?
It helps, but is not enough when sagging is linked to hormonal decline. Multipolar radiofrequency and threads act directly on skin firmness.
How many sessions are needed for cellulite?
It depends on the type of cellulite, the area and the technique chosen. The doctor will tell you the expected number of sessions during the consultation.
