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.
It’s a common concern for many people, especially after weight loss, childbirth, or simply due to ageing.

Causes of Arm Laxity
Weight Loss
Significant weight loss can lead to excess skin on the upper arms, resulting in a loose appearance.
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.
Low muscle tone
Even slim individuals may experience sagging skin, particularly in their upper arms, if they don’t have enough muscle tone.
Excessive Sun Exposure
Excessive sun exposure: Spending too much time in the sun can damage your skin’s elasticity, leading to sagging over time.
Treatments for Arm Laxity
Radiofrequency Treatments
These treatments use radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin tightening in the arms. Radiofrequency (RF) treatments are a popular non-surgical option for addressing arm laxity.

What they say about us
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions :
What is skin laxity?
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.
Can you fix skin laxity?
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.
How can you improve skin laxity?
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.
What vitamin deficiency causes sagging skin?
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.
