Slimming down your arms to wear short sleeves again

The appearance of fat bulges on the arms quickly makes the upper part of the silhouette looks heavier, and can cause embarrassment. It's not unusual to try a diet to lose weight before finally burying his t-shirts or short-sleeved shirts at the bottom of the drawer. Yet there is an easy answer to effectively lose weight without liposuction or surgery. This slimming of the arms provided by aesthetic medicine makes it possible, if necessary, to reshape the contours, to gain thinner and firmer arms. And to walk around without shame with bare arms. How to slim down your arms for certain?

The causes: why is arm slimming so tricky?

The gradual formation of fat deposits in the arms has different reasons They are mostly genetic, hormonal or lifestyle related (diet, sedentary lifestyle...). Arms that are too fat and too big are causing major clothing problems.

For hormonal reasons, the android model of men causes fat to grow more in the upper body, such as the thorax or arms. In women, the gynoid model favors fat deposits in the lower part of the body, except after menopause, when all areas may be impacted. In addition, arms cellulite is more prevalent in women than in men.

But slimming the arms in such a localized way is almost impossible, on the one hand, because slimming is always a complicated process. And on the other hand, because it is always hard to target specific areas.

This thinning of the arms is often aggravated by two other aesthetic imperfections.

On less toned skin, gravity will pull the skin folds down, occasionally resulting in bat-like arms.

In case of a considerable excess of skin tissue, however, only an arm lift or brachioplasty will deliver a harmonious result.

2 – The second issue is that of arm cellulite in women. The excess fat is coupled with water retention, with an orange peel appearance. Slimming arms therefore also involves the treatment of oedema, whether it is oedematous cellulite or fat cellulite.

The results become noticeable in 2 to 3 months, once the fat has been phagocytised and removed by the macrophages. The elastic skin then rapidly re-drapes the new, thinner arm contours. If the biceps then lack volume, the EMSculpt® HIFEM waves (high-intensity electromagnetic waves) help build muscle mass by 16 per cent for a thinner and better curved arm.

Faced with a prominent skin slackening, your aesthetic doctor may favor a thermolysis, to associate a neocollagenesis that remodels the dermis. Various devices combine high-energy waves (ultrasound, RF radio frequency, electromagnetic CPEM...) to rectify other imperfections on your arms: Accent Prime®, Ultraformer® III ...
