Sofwave™ for upper-arm skin laxity
Why upper-arm skin loses firmness
Skin along the inner and posterior upper arm has a thinner dermal matrix that loses elastin recoil with time. Under 510(k) K250146, Sofwave™ is specifically FDA cleared for improvement of upper-arm laxity in adults aged 22 and older, heating the 1.5 mm mid-dermis to rebuild structural collagen.
What an upper-arm session is like
After topical numbing, the SUPERB™ handpiece is applied in an even grid from the deltoid border down toward the elbow across the inner and back arm for 30–45 minutes. Sleeves go back on right after the visit with zero recovery time.
Expected course and results timeline
Depending on baseline skin laxity, we typically plan 1–2 upper-arm sessions spaced 8–12 weeks apart, with dermal firmness continuing to build through week 12.

Aesthetic devices are cleared under FDA 510(k), which is not the same as approved. We cite the clearance so you can read the indication yourself. It describes the device, not any individual result — outcomes vary, and a consultation is what determines whether a treatment suits you.
