How can I tighten the skin on my arms?
That slack skin under the arm that “wobbles” when you raise your hand, or that small bulge rounding off the upper arm: arms often combine localised fat and loose skin — two problems, two answers, one protocol.
For the fat deposit: cryolipolysis, with small applicators designed for the area, which permanently destroys the treated cells. For skin laxity: body HIFU and radiofrequency, which reboost collagen and gradually tighten the inner arm. To tone the underlying muscle, EMS is a useful complement.
Arms call for precision: the skin there is thin, and the result depends on getting the combination right. Skin-fold pinch test, skin elasticity and a personalised plan: everything is decided at the free body assessment (prices per session, or in advance, as you prefer).
The aesthetic assessment comes first
The inner arm combines two weak points that the assessment tells apart: a small fat deposit and, above all, thin skin that starts to sag early — the famous “bat wing” effect. The share of each decides whether we start with cold or with heat.
How we work
Day 1 — assessment with the arm extended and relaxed + photos
We photograph and measure in both positions: it is the relaxed arm that tells the truth about the skin. Your quote and the order of the sessions are set that same day.
If the fat deposit dominates — targeted cryolipolysis
The small applicators treat the inner arm in a single session; the fat is eliminated over 6 to 8 weeks.
Weeks 1 to 10 — tighten: body HIFU, then radiofrequency every 3 weeks
Body HIFU tightens the deep layer of this thin skin in a single session; radiofrequency then takes over every 3 weeks to densify the dermis. This is the most important part of the arm protocol — and the part most often neglected elsewhere.
As a complement — tone the triceps
A few sessions of electrical muscle stimulation restore shape to the muscle that supports the back of the arm: tightened skin over a well-toned muscle — that is what makes a sleek, defined arm.
Month 3 — relaxed-arm photos compared
The ultimate test: the same relaxed-arm photo as on day 1. Maintenance with one radiofrequency session every 2 to 3 months if the skin is very thin.
Who it's for, and when to avoid it
This area is close to the axillary lymph nodes: any history of surgery or lymph node removal must be mentioned at the assessment and the protocol is adapted accordingly; no HIFU during pregnancy.
This is an aesthetic comfort treatment: it does not constitute a medical procedure, a diagnosis or a therapeutic treatment.
Possibilities and limits
What we do not promise.
With significant excess skin (after major weight loss), our technologies bring an improvement but do not replace a surgical arm lift (brachioplasty): we tell you honestly where you stand from the assessment onwards.

Frequently asked questions
Can arms be firmed without surgery?
Yes, when the laxity is mild to moderate: HIFU and radiofrequency reboost collagen and visibly tighten the skin. Major excess skin is a matter for surgery — the assessment will tell you so honestly.
How many sessions do the arms need?
Typically one or two cryolipolysis sessions for the fat deposit, plus a short course of radiofrequency for the skin. The exact quote is given at the assessment.
When can I wear short sleeves with confidence?
Results from the cold are assessed at 8 weeks, firming results over 2 to 3 months — ideally, start in spring to be ready for summer.
Is it painful?
Cryolipolysis numbs the area with cold, radiofrequency feels like a pleasant warmth and HIFU tingles briefly. None of these sessions requires any downtime.
