Everything you need to know about the best laser to tighten loose skin on the arms naturally.
Anyone who’s lost hours staring down Victoria Beckham’s seriously impressive power arms can attest to feeling equal parts inspired and disheartened by their own somewhat less sculpted wingspan.
Though many would agree it’s not the size of our own that might aggrieve us, but the emerging wobble. The marbled physiques of the likes of VB and GP are heavily responsible for the exponential uptake in both professional and at-home sculpting devices to tighten saggy skin on the arms.
Why do we get loose skin on the arms?
It starts with understanding that sagging arm skin has less to do with weight loss and plenty to do with the integrity of the skin’s structure. There are certainly exercises to tighten arm skin, but these are designed to target muscle tone underneath the skin rather than improve surface texture.
Significant weight loss, UV exposure and certain medical conditions can all cause sagging skin on the face and body, but aging is by far the most common cause, dictated by genetics.
Sagging skin can occur on almost any part of the body, but the areas most commonly affected include the stomach, arms, knees, eyelids, jawline and the neck.

Firming loose arm skin is a matter of collagen production
At a cellular level, sagging skin is predominantly the result of the deterioration or breakdown of skin-tightening collagen and elastin in the dermis. We’re born with plenty of collagen, babies are brimming with it, and we remain well stocked up to a certain age, but with time our collagen production becomes much less efficient.
Collagen production starts to dwindle by roughly 1% each year, causing a gradual loss of structure and volume to skin. “From our 20’s onwards, we start losing our collagen and by the age of 50, you've lost about 50% of your natural collagen reserves. Then by the age of 75, you’ve lost that same percentage of collagen,” warns Dr. Ahmed El Muntasar, The Aesthetics Doctor.
In addition to this slowdown in production, there’s also a natural degradation of collagen and elastin — the brazen culprit being a process called collagenase. An enzyme our bodies continually produces as part of a normal immune response, collagenase inadvertently eats away at our natural collagen reserves. Combine that with external aggressors such as prolonged stress, cigarette smoking, UV radiation and air pollution and collagen is steadily depleted from the body.
How to tighten skin on the arms yourself?
It starts with rebuilding your skin scaffolding. Collagen and elastin are integral structural proteins that help make up the Extracellular Matrix (ECM). The ECM is an intricate network of collagen, elastin, fibronectin and connective tissue that’s constantly changing and being remodeled. The more ECM you have and the better shape it’s in, the younger skin will look — because the ECM is where your innate collagen factories reside.
To reverse saggy skin in the arms, collagen and elastin production needs to be upregulated along with an increase in microcirculation to better deliver oxygen and revitalizing nutrients throughout every skin layer, especially the ECM.
“One of the main mechanisms of age-related dermal atrophy is a reduction in the amount of ECM, particularly collagen in the dermis. This is largely due to decreased collagen production and increased degradation of collagen,” says world authority on preventative degenerative disease and LYMA Director of Science, Professor Paul Clayton. He refers to it as ‘ECM Economics.’
The Laser that tightens loose skin on the arms naturally
The LYMA Laser PRO is now receiving international acclaim for its ability to improve the texture and firmness of skin all over the body. Customers report tighter, smoother and noticeably rejuvenated skin. “Creams are not fast, surgery is fast and painful, but the LYMA Laser is the natural treatment for skin tightening without surgery. It’s the ultimate head-to-toe skin tightening solution,” advocates LYMA Founder Lucy Goff.
“The incredible thing is that LYMA Laser technology was never actually intended for skin — it was developed to treat deeper issues beneath the skin surface,” explains LYMA Founder Lucy Goff.
The Laser’s cosmetic applications were discovered by chance. Professor Paul Clayton noticed that a patient receiving low-level laser therapy for cartilage repair also experienced smoother, firmer skin on the treated area. This revelation sparked the development of LYMA Laser for cosmetic rejuvenation.

How does laser light tighten loose skin on the arms?
Near-infrared low-level laser light in the LYMA Laser works directly on the cells beneath the upper layers of skin to alter the skin’s extracellular matrix.
“The laser’s bio-stimulation restores skin cell function to effectively reverse skin aging. This includes collagen and elastin-producing cells that manufacture proteins responsible for keeping skin taut and firm,” explains Dr Graeme Glass, Craniofacial, Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeon as well as LYMA’s Aesthetic Director.
“Powerful laser light switches degradation off and regeneration on. The LYMA Laser unlocks the skin’s mitochondria to fuel cells’ energy, restoring their ability to produce collagen and elastin, renewing skin without causing damage.”
And the best skincare to tighten loose arm skin?
The LYMA Laser is a rejuvenation powerhouse on its own, but it’s even more effective when combined with LYMA Skincare. The LYMA Cream and Serum formulations treat the root causes of aging by targeting gene expression that governs cellular processes.
When it comes to stronger skin, patented ingredient beta-glucan Wellmune® tricks the skin into thinking it’s damaged, stimulating immune cells to regenerate and produce more fibers. This reinvigorates collagen synthesis to rebuild the ECM.
Each active in LYMA Skincare is chosen to target a mechanism of skin aging — from boosting microcirculation and mitochondrial activity to rebalancing the microbiome and delivering lasting hydration. Together they contribute to plumper, firmer skin with improved bounce.
Best lifestyle hack to tighten loose arm skin
You can also boost collagen production throughout the body by eating the right foods — avocados, oily salmon, nuts, eggs, and citrus fruits — and supplementing your diet with clinically proven ingredients. LYMA Supplement contains patented extracts like LycoBeads® Natural Tomato Lycopene and Cynatine® HNS, which protect against cellular damage and reinforce skin structure.
Always consult your medical professional if you have a medical condition or existing health protocol before beginning any new supplementation regime.
