It used to be that women mainly worried about their hips, waist, and their thighs. Now they want defined arms. Not just defined – chiseled even. Think Madonna – or Kelly Ripa. The problem is that as we age, collagen --- a fibrous protein found in connective tissue, bone and cartilage --- stretches, making skin sag and wrinkles appear. To top it off, a woman’s arms are generally the first body part to go. If you want to know a woman’s age, take a look at her upper arms.

Arms, also, are the most difficult if not impossible part of the body to get right by exercise. Many women ask me about SmartLipo™ for arm flabbiness, which gives excellent results.  With SmartLipo™ we can quickly and permanently remove the fat deposits that you just can't get off in the gym. 

However, if your arms have loose skin without much fat, there is a noninvasive tool that may work just as well with no recovery time. Thermage™ is a non-invasive FDA approved technology that uses radiofrequency energy to penetrate the dermal layers of skin, tightening existing collagen and stimulating the production of new collagen growth. The end result is tighter, firmer skin. Goodbye flap. Hello definition.

Thermage™ results are noticeable after just one treatment and continue to improve over time as new collagen is produced. Results can last years depending on your skin and ageing process. Best of all? There’s no downtime. You are awake and alert and able to resume normal activities immediately after your Thermage™ treatment is finished. In fact, Thermage™ works so well that I am using it in conjunction with SmartLipo™ on patients with excess skin.

As with any aesthetics procedure, exercise and a balanced diet will help ensure you achieve the results you want. But SmartLipo™ and/or Thermage™ will definitely give you the confidence to reclaim your halter tops.
