Treatments for Arm Fat

Morpheus8

Excess Arm Fat can be significantly reduced using the cutting-edge Morpheus8 treatment, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten, contour, and rejuvenate the crepey appearance of arm fat, whilst at deeper settings Morpheus8 will also reduce arm fat, causing apoptosis (death of the fat cells) with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

Endolift Skin Tightening Treatment

Endolift is a treatment to consider if you're struggling with stubborn pockets of Arm Fat. This next generation laser treatment offers an alternative to surgical liposuction with much less downtime and risk. Endolift uses a fine probe inserted under the skin, perfectly tuned to breakdown pockets of arm fat which may not shift with diet or exercise, at the same time as tightening the overlying skin. The single-session treatment is performed under local anaesthetic and takes about an hour.

Aqualyx

Aqualyx is specifically designed to reduce smaller pockets of fat, such as Arm Fat, where exercise and diet have failed. The treatment uses Deoxycholic acid injections which is a substance selectively toxic to fat cells. The upper arm area (often known as 'bingo wings') will be numbed with local anaesthetic injections and the deoxycholic acid injected. Permanent destruction of fat cells in the treated area occurs, with release of stored fat into the lymphatic system, where it is drained and excreted from the body.

What is Arm Fat?

Arm fat, excess fat in the upper arms, can look flabby or loose and usually lacks muscle definition.

Anyone who is overweight is more likely to have excess arm fat, but individuals of average weight can have excess arm fat too. Hormonal imbalances can lead to stubborn arm fat, particularly in women going through hormonal fluctuations such as those that occur during menopause or pregnancy. Imbalances in the hormones oestrogen and testosterone, two important hormones involved in fat storage, can cause fat to be stored in the arms.

Age can also be a factor as metabolism tends to slow down with age, which can lead to weight gain. A slower metabolism also makes arm fat harder to get rid of. Arm fat can be influenced by genetics too as genes may dictate where fat is stored on the body and can also impact how hard or how easy it is to get rid of fat.

Other causes of arm fat include a sedentary lifestyle that lacks exercise, as well as a diet high in calories, particularly calories that come from processed, sugary foods as well as foods high in saturated fats. If you regularly eat a diet filled with non-nutritious, unhealthy foods, whilst also doing minimal exercise and movement then you may be more susceptible to fat in the arms.

It can be hard to get rid of arm fat, even with a calorie controlled diet and exercise. At Dr David Jack, we have a number of treatments available which can help to reduce arm fat and tone arms. Get in touch to find out what we can do.
