Arm cellulite
Arm cellulite gets talked about less, yet it bothers many women, especially in summer or in sleeveless tops. Knowing whether the issue is cellulite, loose skin or both is what guides treatment.
Why does cellulite appear on the arms?
The backs of the upper arms have relatively thin skin over a layer of fat. When connective-tissue bands pull the skin inwards and fat cells push outwards, an uneven texture develops. Age, weight changes and genetics can make it more noticeable.
Cellulite or loose skin?
On the arms, this distinction matters most. Cellulite creates small dimples and bumps, while loose skin has lost elasticity and hangs more visibly. The two often appear together. Identifying the main concern is a central part of the mapping consultation, because it determines which methods make sense.
How is arm cellulite treated?
Dr. Timestit examines the arms, assesses the severity of the cellulite and evaluates skin quality. He then builds an individual plan that may combine device-based treatment to improve texture and firmness with filling selected dimples where appropriate. He performs the treatments himself, with a follow-up appointment after the course.
Most patients describe only mild discomfort, and local anaesthetic can be used if needed. Most return to their routine the same day.
Who is it suitable for?
Women bothered by the skin on the backs of their upper arms. Treatment is not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and suitability is decided after a medical assessment. As with every cellulite treatment, results vary, and follow-up and maintenance help preserve the improvement.
