Upper Arm Rejuvenation Before & After Case 989

This 42 year old requested improvement in the appearance of her arms following weight gain and loss associated with 5 pregnancies. She is 5'2" tall and weighs 100 pounds. Dr Parker discussed a non excisional procedure called BodyTite to try to non surgically tighten up the soft tissue laxity on her arms. He explained a very thin probe would be inserted under the skin and communicate with a second probe on the skin. Using radiofrequency energy, the internal probe would heat up the overlying skin and soft tissues to a prescribed temperature. Over the ensuing months, collagen would form in response to this heating effectand bring about a progressive tightening of the skin. Several weeks later, Dr Parker performed this procedure as described. The patient said the recovery was easy and she is very happy with the improved contour of her arms.
