In our practice, our primary tightening procedure for the arms and chin is minimally invasive and utilizes a device from ThermiAesthetics. It is called ThermiTight. It is a radiofrequency treatment that is administered by inserting a cannula under the skin and bringing the temperature of the treated area up to a specified level--usually 70 centigrades for fat dissolving and 60 for tightening at a more superficial level. We sometimes use lasers topically, but the procedure I'm describing above is not a laser.

The best chin lifting procedure is called Ulthera. Ultrasonic waves are used to heat the deepest layer of skin, which causes the skin to lift and tighten. On the arms, radiofrequency technology is used. I like Venus Freeze.
