The upper arms or bingo wings can cause issues with self-confidence and loss of self-esteem when wearing a dress or top. HIFU upper arms treatment targets the area, helping to reduce unwanted fat and effectively tighten the skin.
As people age, their skin begins to sag.
It becomes dry and makes it prone to stubborn spots, uneven skin tone and wrinkles.
It is when HiFu is here to sort that out that we can offer you a Full Face, which is a Non-Surgical Facelift.
Although having a healthy lifestyle usually plays an important role when it comes to maintaining a younger-looking skin, it isn’t enough to remain wrinkle-free.
That’s where High-intensity focused ultrasound comes in.
If you need a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for the Full Face, Hifu has got you covered.
We have the right experience and training for this non-invasive procedure.
Feel free to contact us at HI-FU for more details.
Our customer representatives are friendly, accommodating, approachable and comfortable to work with.
HIFU Upper Arms Treatment Brixham
Did you know that in surveys, 3 out of 4 women focused on their upper arm area as the part of the body they were most unhappy with?
Although a combination of a balanced diet and regular exercise can help shape other body parts, this isn’t true for so-called ‘bingo wings’.
A healthy lifestyle helps with weight loss, but can’t restore firmness to the skin in the upper arms. However, there is a solution to target stubborn areas with HIFU Upper Arms Treatment Brixham.
Our non-surgical upper arms treatment can help you.
This procedure tightens the dermis, strengthens existing collagen and encourages the formation of new collagen.
It penetrates beneath the outer surface of the skin (thereby protecting it), but is also able to reach higher temperatures than equivalent treatments using radio-frequency.
It makes it an ideal solution for loose skin under the upper arms.
1. What is HIFU for the upper arms?
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) for the upper arms is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to target fat deposits and stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of skin and tissue. The result is firmer, smoother skin and reduced appearance of “bat wings” or loose tissue under the arms.
2. Who is a good candidate?
Good candidates are people with mild to moderate fat under the arms and some skin laxity, who are close to their ideal body weight. It’s beneficial for those who want to avoid surgery. People with very loose skin or large amounts of fat might require multiple treatments or may benefit more from surgical options.
3. How much fat reduction or toning can I expect?
Results can vary between individuals depending on factors like the amount of fat, skin elasticity, age, metabolic rate, and lifestyle. Many see visible improvement in contour and firmness after one session, with more pronounced results after 6-12 weeks. Multiple sessions might be recommended for a more dramatic change.
4. How many treatments will I need, and how far apart are they?
Often one session produces some improvement, but for the best results, 2-3 sessions spaced out (for example, every 4-8 weeks) may be advised. After that, maintenance treatments may be needed every 6-12 months, depending on how well your body retains collagen and the effects of ageing or weight fluctuations.
5. How long does a treatment take?
A typical session for both upper arms might take 30-60 minutes, depending on the amount of treatment required (how much area/fat there is and skin laxity).
6. Is it painful? What does it feel like?
Most people experience mild discomfort — heat, tingling, or a pricking sensation as the ultrasound energy is delivered. The treatment is usually tolerable, and many clinics adjust settings to the client’s comfort. Any discomfort typically subsides soon after the procedure.
7. Are there any side effects?
Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tingling, or slight tenderness in the treated area. Occasionally, there might be minor bruising. These usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.
8. Is there any downtime? Can I return to normal activities?
One of the benefits of HIFU is minimal downtime. You can generally resume your normal activities immediately. You may want to avoid heavy exercise, extreme heat (e.g. saunas), or vigorous sun exposure for a short period (24-48 hours) to allow recovery.
9. How long do results last?
After the full effects show (usually over several weeks as collagen builds), results can last 12-18 months or more, depending on your skin quality, age, lifestyle (diet, exercise), weight changes, and how well you maintain the results.
10. What should be done before & after treatment to get the best results?
Pre-treatment suggestions might include:
Healthy diet and hydration
Avoiding excessive sun exposure
Avoiding certain medications or skin treatments as instructed by your clinic
Post-treatment care might include:
Gentle skin care (avoid irritating products)
Avoiding strenuous upper arm exercise for a short period
Keeping skin moisturised
Using sun protection if the area is exposed
11. Are there any medical contraindications?
HIFU is not suitable for everyone. Some contraindications may include:
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Certain skin conditions or infections in the treatment area
Implanted medical devices or metal in the area
Severe skin laxity or huge fat volumes (may need other treatments)
Poor overall health or certain medical conditions
Your clinic will assess you in a consultation to determine safety and suitability.
12. How does HIFU compare with liposuction or surgery?
HIFU is non-invasive, meaning no incisions, no anaesthesia, and much less risk than surgery. Recovery time is minimal. However, for large volume fat removal or very loose skin, surgical options (liposuction, arm lift) may offer more dramatic results. HIFU is better for mild-moderate fat reduction and skin tightening.
If exercise and diet don’t work as well as you’d like, Hi-fu is the perfect solution for you!
When the skin on your upper arms starts to sag, you may lose confidence in wearing certain clothes or doing activities that may expose your insecurities.
Once you see the results of your HIFU treatment, you’ll feel much better about yourself.
Your self-esteem will soar, and you’ll no longer feel the need to conceal your arms.
It will have an impact on your relationships with others, as you’ll feel great and others will react to that.
