Arm Laxity

As we age, skin laxity is a common concern, particularly in areas such as the arms. It’s not just the facial skin that loses elasticity; the arms also tend to show signs of looseness or a crepey texture due to a decrease in collagen and elastin levels.

At Yorkshire Skin Centre, we understand how arm laxity can impact your confidence and self-image. We offer a variety of advanced solutions to help you achieve a smoother, more toned appearance in your upper arms.

Know About Arm laxity

Arm laxity, also known as loose upper arms or “bat wings,” refers to the sagging or drooping skin on the underside of the upper arms.

Ageing

As we age, our skin loses elasticity, contributing to sagging and laxity.

Genetics

Some individuals are more predisposed to storing fat and developing loose skin in certain areas, like the upper arms.

Hormonal changes

Low testosterone levels can contribute to skin sagging as you get older.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions :

Skin laxity means that the skin has lost its tightness and structure, making it look loose and saggy. It’s something that happens to everyone as they get older because it’s a natural part of ageing.

You might be able to tighten loose skin at home by using firming skin care products and doing exercises. There are also medical options, both surgical and nonsurgical, that can help tighten the skin. Loose skin can be frustrating and may affect how you feel about yourself.

To help tighten loose skin, you can exercise, take supplements, and consider treatments like laser resurfacing. Most people start to notice skin getting looser between the ages of 35 and 40.

Not getting enough Vitamin C can speed up skin ageing, leading to sagging and wrinkles. This vitamin is important because it helps make collagen, a protein that keeps the skin firm and healthy.

Abie Ansari

Patient Representative

I am Senior Manager currently working for a small charity based in Leeds. My role is both professionally stimulating and challenging. No two days are ever the same. It includes aspects of advocacy, client rights, individual representation and inclusivity.

One milestone that resonates deeply is the creation of support groups, safe spaces where clients can openly share their stories. Witnessing the impact of these connections has fuelled my determination to improve the journey of others.

Through my own aesthetic endeavours , I’ve developed an unparalleled understanding of the emotional nuances tied to cosmetic treatments. This empathy allows me to offer sincere reassurance and guidance, especially during moments of vulnerability, in an era of aesthetic care that marries technical expertise with genuine human understanding and a person centred approach.

In my spare time I love the outdoors, enjoying hillwalking, taking part in sport, managing my bountiful allotment, and enhancing my cookery skills trying different cuisines (..no Masterchef yet).. and travel.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, also known as an eye lift, is a surgical procedure performed on the eyelids to improve their appearance. It can address concerns like:

  • Excess skin on the upper eyelids: This can obstruct vision and create a hooded appearance.

  • Bags under the lower eyelids: These can make you look tired or aged.

  • Drooping lower eyelids: This can also obstruct vision and contribute to a tired appearance.


Types of Blepharoplasty:

  • Upper blepharoplasty: This addresses concerns with the upper eyelids, removing excess skin and sometimes fat or muscle tissue.

  • Lower blepharoplasty: This addresses concerns with the lower eyelids, removing excess fat or skin and sometimes repositioning tissues.

  • Asian blepharoplasty: This addresses specific concerns related to the anatomy of Asian eyelids, creating a more defined crease.
