Up until the past few years, there weren’t any non-surgical options to achieve sleeker, more defined looking arms. Thankfully, ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc. (ZLTQ) announced that CoolSculpting, a revolutionary non-invasive tool for stubborn fat removal, is FDA-approved for treating the upper arms. This announcement makes CoolSculpting the only non-invasive fat removal treatment cleared by the FDA to permanently remove fat from the arms and help you achieve a smoother and sleeker upper physique in San Diego.
What Causes Flabby Arms?
Flabby arms can be particularly frustrating because it can seem like no matter how many triceps dips we do; they never seem to improve. That’s because there are many factors at play that can lead to flabby arms. For some people, they may be genetically predisposed to collecting fat in the upper arms and losing elasticity in the skin as they age. Since the aging process breaks down collagen, the volume and elasticity in the skin decreases creating an unavoidable “batwing” effect. Rapid weight loss or weight gain can also influence the formation of flabby arms.
What is CoolSculpting?
CoolSculpting is a revolutionary arm fat reduction technique that is able to banish fat cells without needles, incisions or debilitating recovery times. There are many surgical methods that can address unwanted fat in the arms or elsewhere throughout the body, however, these techniques come with certain risks and require more extensive downtime.
How Does Cryolipolysis Freeze Away Fat?
CoolSculpting uses a process known as cryolipolysis that essentially freezes away excess areas of fat without causing any damage to surrounding tissue and skin cells. Once the fat cells have been frozen, they gradually disintegrate and eventually get flushed out of the body naturally. Combining this non-invasive fat treatment with a skin-tightening procedure can help tone and tighten the back of the arms. On average, the CoolSculpting arm fat reduction treatment can remove around 20% of the fat from the upper arms.
To improve the arm contouring procedure, Zeltiq also announced that it will launch the CoolAdvantage Petite applicator that will make it possible to optimize the traditional CoolSculpting treatments.

What to Expect with Arm Fat Reduction Procedure
CoolSculpting is a great choice for patients who wish to remove stubborn pockets of fat found in the upper arms. The procedure is done without anesthetics and with the majority of patients reporting just minimal discomfort.
A CoolSculpting arm treatment places the fatty tissue of the upper arms between two cooling panels. These panels apply the cold temperatures for a specified period of time. The greatest part? You can relax with a book, work on your laptop or even take a nap while you’re receiving your fat reduction treatment in San Diego.
