Loose arm skin isn’t a failure of fitness. It’s biology.

When skin elasticity is gone, surgical removal is the only way to fully address it.

This lovely lady is thrilled with her results and finally feels comfortable in her own skin again. 💛

Book a consult with me to see if an arm lift may be right for you! ✨
