Underarm Tightening

Celebrity Arms: Tightening

APPOINTMENT

WHAT it is:

Celebrity Arm Tightening, or underarm tightening, is a non-surgical procedure designed to tighten and tone the underarm with 0 incisions and minimal downtime.

HOW it’s done:

This treatment uses Morpheus8, a safe and effective minimally invasive modular RF fractional solution for full body subdermal adipose (fat storage) remodeling. It is an advanced microneedling treatment combined with radiofrequency developed to stimulate remodeling in the adipose tissue of the dermis. On its own, microneedling provokes a healing response in which collagen production increases. With Morpheus8, collagen increase is only the cherry on top. By inserting radiofrequency energy into the tissue approximately 4mm deep, this device prompts tissue remodeling that includes thickening and tightening.

WHAT to expect:

Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for
1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer.

Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are common post treatment and may last 1-3 days.

Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on treatment settings.
