Upper-Arm Ultherapy at a glance

Upper-arm skin is assessed with the arms raised and relaxed. Inner and posterior skin thickness, fat and muscle contours, and left-right differences inform the plan.

Treatment time
Appointment length depends on consultation, numbing and treatment extent. Tell us your available time and important plans when booking.
Sessions and progress
Early swelling is distinguished from a lasting change. Compare photographs with the same posture, lighting and distance alongside examination findings. Further treatment follows review of recovery and response; results and duration vary.
Recovery
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising or altered sensation may occur. Recovery varies by area and individual. Adjust heavy lifting, strenuous upper-body exercise and tight sleeves while tender. Persistent tingling or weakness should be reported, not assumed to be ordinary exercise soreness.
Cost factors
Inner and posterior arm laxity versus fat and muscle contours · Cost depends on area, one or both sides, planned shots and comfort measures. Confirm the total and included services at consultation; a fixed shot count is not assumed.

Timing, progress and recovery depend on your condition and treatment area. See the guidance below for details and precautions.

is this for me

Who it’s for

Even if none of these describes you, we will look again at the consultation.

  • Inner and posterior arm laxity versus fat and muscle contours
  • Both arms are compared in the same position. Skin, nerves and vessels guide treatment; unequal laxity may need unequal areas or shot allocation. Previous liposuction and injections are reviewed.
  • Upper-arm Ultherapy does not reduce muscle or remove large amounts of fat. Marked excess skin may not reach the desired contour with an energy treatment alone.

Suitability requires an examination. Skin thickness, health and previous procedures may make a different approach more appropriate.

start with your concern

Before you pick a treatment name, start with the cause of your concern.

Even a treatment with the same name takes on a different role and scope depending on your current structure, the change you want, what you have had before and the recovery time you have.

How it works

Inner and posterior arm laxity versus fat and muscle contours

Ultherapy PRIME delivers focused ultrasound while visualizing tissue beneath the skin. Skin thickness and the distribution of laxity guide suitability and the tissue layer to target. Both arms are compared in the same position. Skin, nerves and vessels guide treatment; unequal laxity may need unequal areas or shot allocation. Previous liposuction and injections are reviewed.

the qd standard

The same treatment, never the same plan.

Rather than a fashionable name or a fixed package, we weigh the structure found at examination, safety, recovery and the limits within one plan.

  • DIAGNOSIS FIRST

    Cause before name

    We first separate out the tissue and the function behind your concern.

  • LESS, PRECISE

    Only as much as needed

    Rather than an excessive change, we plan the smallest scope with a clear role.

  • HONEST LIMIT

    The limits, explained too

    We explain the change you can expect, the alternatives, individual differences and the risks.

personal plan

From consultation to follow-up, planned as one flow.

Upper-arm skin is assessed with the arms raised and relaxed. Inner and posterior skin thickness, fat and muscle contours, and left-right differences inform the plan.

  1. Area-specific planning
