A minimally invasive treatment for upper-arm skin laxity and contour — without the long incisions of a surgical arm lift.
Arms Tight is designed for adults considering treatment for arm skin laxity. It aims to improve loose skin and arm contour while avoiding the longer incisions of a surgical arm lift.
A specialised radiofrequency cannula delivers controlled heat beneath the skin to support tissue contraction and potentially reduce small areas of superficial fat.
Tailored additions: PLLA, hyaluronic acid or Morpheus8 may be used where clinically appropriate. Arm liposuction may also be combined. Results vary.
SkinTight™ uses controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to support tissue contraction and collagen remodelling. Changes in firmness, texture and contour may develop gradually.
It may be considered for mild to moderate laxity related to ageing, weight loss or changes in skin elasticity, as a different approach from surgical arm lift.
Suitability depends on individual anatomy, medical history, skin quality and treatment goals. A consultation is required to assess whether Arms Tight suits your concerns.
SkinTight™ is minimally invasive, but recovery, potential benefits and suitability vary between individuals.
On the upper arm the skin is thin and important nerves and vessels run along the inner side, so Arms Tight is carried out with ultrasound from start to finish. Before treatment, your doctor scans both arms to measure skin and fat thickness, assess how much of the laxity comes from skin rather than fat, and plan a safe route for the cannula.
As the treatment progresses, imaging keeps the work within the intended subcutaneous plane. At review, the scan can be used to check healing and look for fluid collections. The result is a more precise, individual plan than surface marking alone can provide.
The non-surgical arm lift in London using SkinTight™ is a tailored procedure for adults seeking to address mild to moderate arm skin laxity without a surgical arm lift.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) or hyaluronic acid may also be considered according to individual assessment.
Depending on the degree of skin laxity and individual response, 1 to 2 sessions may be considered a few months apart.
Avoids the longer incisions of surgical arm lift, although small entry-point marks or scars may occur.
Suitability is confirmed only after an in-person medical consultation with one of our doctors.

Potential benefits of the Arms Tight procedure. Recovery and outcomes vary between patients and depend on the extent of treatment.
Everything patients usually ask before booking an Arms Tight consultation. Can’t find your answer? Our team will help.
Arms Tight is a minimally invasive procedure, whereas a surgical arm lift involves surgical incisions and removal of excess tissue. Arms Tight uses radiofrequency technology and, where clinically appropriate, may be combined with treatments such as PLLA or Morpheus8. The procedures have different indications, potential outcomes, risks and recovery periods, which should be discussed during consultation.
The Arms Tight procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to help manage discomfort during treatment. Sensations such as pressure, warmth or discomfort may occur and vary between individuals. Temporary swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness may occur after treatment, and the duration of these effects varies between patients.
Some patients may notice early changes after the procedure, although swelling can initially affect the appearance of the treated area. Further improvements may develop gradually over several months as healing and collagen remodelling progress. The degree and timing of results vary between patients.
The effects of the Arms Tight procedure are variable in duration between patients. The treatment stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity, which helps maintain the results over time. While the natural ageing process will continue, the improvements achieved with the Arms Tight procedure provide outcomes that vary in extent and duration between patients.
Potential risks and side effects of Arms Tight can include swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, bleeding, infection, burns or other thermal injury, temporary numbness or altered sensation, contour irregularity, fluid collection, pigmentation changes and scarring. Where injectable products are used, additional risks can include inflammatory reactions, nodules and rare vascular complications. The risks relevant to your individual treatment plan will be discussed before treatment.
After the Arms Tight procedure, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and alcohol consumption for at least 48 hours to help minimise swelling and irritation. Additionally, avoid unnecessary touching or rubbing of the treated area and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your clinician to support recovery.
The Arms Tight procedure may not be appropriate in the presence of active skin infections, certain skin conditions or open wounds in the treatment area. Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or where there is a known severe allergy to treatment components. Other contraindications may apply depending on your medical history, medications and the treatments being considered.
Some patients may be able to return to work within a day or two after the Arms Tight procedure, depending on the extent of treatment, their individual recovery and the nature of their work. Swelling, bruising, redness or tenderness can occur. Jobs involving strenuous physical activity may require a longer period before normal duties are resumed.
Arms Tight may be combined with other treatments where clinically appropriate. Options may include mini liposuction, Morpheus8 or other procedures selected according to individual anatomy, treatment goals and recovery requirements. Your doctor will advise whether combination treatment is appropriate following clinical assessment.
At consultation we assess your skin and goals, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
