TREATMENT FOR SAGGING ARMS
"Bat Wings" Treatment
Over time, collagen loss, weight changes, and lack of muscle tone can lead to the appearance of unwanted sagging on the inner part of the arms, commonly known as "bat wings." At Doctores López Clinic, we specialize in advanced treatments for sagging arms, designed to firm and reshape this area without surgery, giving you back the confidence to wear sleeveless.
The duration varies depending on the technique used and the size of the area being treated. These are outpatient procedures, performed in a clinic with minimal discomfort.
It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy exertion for 2-3 days. Slight swelling or small bruises may appear, but they will quickly subside.
The effect of collagen stimulation is progressive. Results can last for several months or even years, depending on the technique, the patient's lifestyle, and maintenance sessions.
What are Bat Wings and How Do We Treat Them?
"Bat wings" refers to loose, sagging skin on the underside of the arms. This problem can be difficult to correct with conventional exercise, but aesthetic medicine offers effective and personalized solutions.
Our minimally invasive bat wing treatments include:
- Morpheus8: Microneedling radiofrequency for deep skin tightening and reshaping.
- Radiofrequency: Deep heating of the skin to stimulate collagen and improve sagging skin.
- Collagen Biostimulators: Injectable substances that activate natural collagen production for greater firmness.
- Tension Threads: Absorbable threads that create an immediate lifting effect and support the skin.
- Laser Lipolysis: Dissolves localized fat with laser technology and helps skin retraction.
- Aesthetic Ultrasound: Uses waves to reduce fat volume and improve contour.
- Lipolytic Injections (Mesotherapy): Microinjections that dissolve the fat accumulated in the area.
