Reducing the volume and tightening the skin in the forearm area

Caring about their appearance and figure, many people sometimes miss one detail that can negate a lot of efforts already made.

We are talking about the inner surface of the arms in the forearms. This is a very important area that plays one of the key roles in the perception of a person’s appearance. In youth, arms are usually toned. But after 30 years, the skin ceases to be elastic, and sagging begins to form.

First of all, they are noticeable on the face - in the lower jaw, on the neck, on the stomach, as well as on the inner surfaces of the arms and legs. Sagging on the inner surface of the arms is even sometimes called “bat wings.”

But if a bat needs wings, then such skin defects certainly will not decorate a person. Sagging skin makes it uncomfortable to raise your arms again. And appearing in public in a sleeveless dress is generally contraindicated.

Healthy eating

Review your diet. No one is saying that you need to go on a strict diet or eat according to any system. At the moment, it is important for you to reduce the intake of excess calories into your body. Thereby limiting yourself in consuming unnecessary foods.

Products that are harmful to your figure.

White bread;
flour;
sweet products;
potatoes, especially fried ones;
fast food (convenience foods);
mayonnaise;
sugar;
drinks containing caffeine;
carbonated drinks.

If it’s hard for you to immediately stop using them, start limiting yourself first, and then reduce their use to nothing.

Some nutrition tips:

At this time, you need to drink more fluids. Up to two liters per day.
Eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible.
You need to eat food several times a day, in small portions (up to 6 times).
Dress salads with olive oil, not mayonnaise.
Introduce porridge into your diet. They have a very good effect on the digestive system. Improves intestinal metabolism.
Don't forget about fermented milk products.

Causes of excess skin formation in the forearm area

Obesity.

Excess weight is a large amount of fat deposits, which are also present on the arms. They are the ones who stretch the muscles, and a sedentary lifestyle leads to a significant decrease in the tone of all tissues.

Sharp weight loss.

But when a person suddenly manages to lose weight dramatically, this also affects the skin. Such weight loss is the dream of many, but the result of body weight correction is stretched skin.

Insufficient physical activity.

You can strengthen the muscles in your arms only with specific physical exercises. And if you do a few squats in the morning or ride a bike every day, then your arms will not get pumped up and will not acquire beautiful athletic shapes. However, not everyone manages to achieve the goal of having toned arms through training.

Ultra-violet rays.

If a person is exposed to direct sunlight for a long time or visits solariums too often, then his skin becomes excessively dry, thin and loses its tone.

Top 5 best exercises for beautiful hands

Do the workout at home after a short warm-up: start with walking in place, swinging and rotating your shoulders to prepare your joints for stress. Gradually move on to the main complex.

Wall push-ups

Start your home workout with a simple exercise that perfectly warms up the forearm area. Stand one step away from the wall, spread your legs shoulder-width apart. Place your palms on the surface and slowly push up, keeping your back straight. Perform 3 sets of 20 reps.

Plank on extended arms

The exercise gets rid of fat deposits and allows you to work out deep-lying muscles. When performing, lean on fully straightened arms, try not to bend them at the elbows, and do not relax your back in the lumbar area. Hold your body in a straight position for 30 seconds to a minute.

Reverse push-ups

The exercise gets rid of flabby muscles in the armpits and on the inside of the arms. At home, do it as follows:

Prepare a wide and stable bench.
Turn your back to her, sit down on the floor.
Bend your knees, place your palms on the bench.
When performing push-ups, push up with your hands, trying to fully straighten your elbows. Do not help yourself with your legs so as not to reduce the payload.

When you have completely mastered the exercise, you can complicate its implementation for a faster effect: straighten your legs completely, do not bend your knees when lifting. This will increase the load and help get rid of sagging muscles. Perform 3 sets of 10-15 times.

Burpee

The following exercise is ideal for reducing arm fat:

Take a body position as with regular push-ups, lean on your straightened arms and toes.
With a sharp movement, pull your knees to your chest and jump up.
As you jump, raise your arms above your head.
Return to the prone position.

Perform burpees at a fast pace at least 12 times, gradually increasing to 15 repetitions. Intense exercise burns fat deposits on the arms, pumps up flabby muscles, making the triceps and biceps more prominent.

Palm squeezing

A simple but effective exercise will help you work the inside of your arm and improve the shape of your chest, which is best done at the end of your workout. Raise your hands in front of you, clasp your palms together. Try to ensure that your elbows remain bent at right angles. Try squeezing your hands for a minute, feeling the tension in the muscles.

Perform the exercise with a break of 10–15 seconds, repeat 3–10 times depending on your physical fitness and endurance. To increase the load, use a small rubber ball, placing it between your palms.

Methods for correcting the forearm area

The radical method is surgery. In order to solve the problem of sagging skin, plastic surgeons perform lipoplasty, liposculpture and brachioplasty.

In the first two cases, the doctor works with adipose tissue. During lipoplasty, the doctor pumps out excess fat. And with liposculpture, it models the contour of the arms by redistributing fat deposits from the donor area (where there is too much fat) to the recipient area (requiring an increase in volume).

However, these two procedures do not involve tightening the skin. After all, you can pump out fat, but saggy skin will remain. Brachioplasty takes on this role.

Among alternative non-surgical methods, doctors at A Clinic recommend ultrasound and thread technologies.

Why do my arms above the elbow get fat?

There are a number of natural reasons why women get fat arms:

Poor nutrition. The most common cause of excess weight in the arm area is the consumption of high-calorie junk food. Every extra calorie that goes unused turns into fat over time. The solution is to normalize the diet.
Equipment. Wide hands may well be inherited from your mother or grandmother. In this case, diet and strengthening exercises will help.
Lack of physical activity. How many months have you been on a diet and your arms remain flabby? This is because any diet must be accompanied by reasonable exercise.
Hormonal imbalances. Changes in hormonal levels provoke sudden changes in weight. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by pregnancy, the use of certain medications, etc.
Age. With every new decade, it becomes more and more difficult for muscles to be in good shape. Lack of activity makes the situation worse.

Arm lift using ultrasound

This season, the clinic’s doctors have added the latest device for ultrasonic lipolysis – Ulfit from South Korea. With its help, you can solve two problems at once - remove excess fat and tighten the skin. Moreover, without cuts. The device uses focused ultrasound. Focused means working in a targeted manner: it is directed exclusively to fat deposits (adipocytes).

Under the influence of ultrasound, fat cells are heated to 55 degrees. This leads to the destruction of the cell membrane of the fat cell. Next, the breakdown of adipocytes occurs and, as a result, the breakdown of triglycerides (cell contents) into glycerol and free fatty acids with the participation of hormone-sensitive lipase. The destroyed elements of the fat cell enter the extracellular space and are eliminated by the body using the lymphatic system and immune cells. This happens through natural processes.

The effect of the procedure occurs instantly. The clothes the patient was wearing immediately become one size larger.

But the entire process of removing destroyed adipocytes takes up to 4 weeks. Therefore, after a month after the procedure, body volumes are reduced even more.

In one procedure, you can reduce the volume of fat folds by 20%. And a month after the procedure, the fat fold will be halved!

In addition, Ulfit therapy is the only technique that, while destroying adipose tissue, simultaneously tightens the skin. Ultrasound affects skin fibroblast cells, activating in them the process of production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity and tightness (turgor) of the skin. As a result, the patient gets an ideal figure without excess fat and smooth, toned skin!

Massage

In addition to diet and sports, you can perform anti-cellulite massage. There is no need to spend money on specialists and salons; anyone can do a regular hand massage. For this:

Prepare for procedures. Take a contrast shower. To improve the effect, use special oils or scrubs. A regular cream is also suitable for softening.
Use slow massaging movements over the entire surface of your arms from elbows to shoulders.
After preparation, proceed to more intense movements: tapping, pinching the skin a little, squeezing.
When the massage is finished, actively rub the skin to improve blood flow.

The entire session will take no more than 15-20 minutes. If possible, massage daily. You can use various massagers, brushes and other devices.

Wraps

Another effective cosmetic procedure is various wraps. The most popular fat-burning ingredients: coffee grounds, clay, honey. Wraps can be done both in the salon and by yourself.
