Skin Tightening Without the Scalpel

Please note: Not every method is suitable for all skin types or conditions. A personalized examination is essential for a reliable recommendation.

 

Sofwave™ – High-Intensity Ultrasound at Depth

Sofwave™ uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology to deliver focused ultrasound energy precisely to the mid-dermal layer, stimulating collagen production without damaging the skin surface.

  • Effect: Stimulates collagen production, firms the mid-dermal layers
  • Best for: Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Special feature: No downtime, visible results after approx. 4 weeks

 

Genius™ RF – Radiofrequency & Microneedling

Genius™ combines medical microneedling with radiofrequency. Ultra-fine needles deliver controlled RF energy to specific depths, activating repair mechanisms, tightening the skin, and improving skin texture long term.

  • Effect: Micro-injuries plus heat stimulate collagen and elastin fibers
  • Best for: Thin, sagging upper arm skin
  • Result: Long-lasting firming and skin regeneration

 

Laser Body Contouring with Bioboost

Our state-of-the-art laser system targets the subcutaneous tissue thermally. It enhances microcirculation, stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, and can influence fat cells depending on intensity – perfect for subtle tissue firming without surgery.

  • Technology: Next-gen laser platform for targeted skin tightening
  • Effect: Strengthens connective tissue, smooths contours
  • Special feature: Body contouring without pain or downtime

 

HI-EMMS – Muscle Building via Electromagnetic Stimulation

This technology uses electromagnetic impulses to trigger intense muscle contractions. The resulting muscle growth strengthens tissue from within and improves contour – especially useful when there’s little fat but reduced muscle tone.

  • Effect: Intense contractions via electromagnetic impulses
  • Goal: Muscle toning and subtle firming in the triceps area
  • Application: As a complement to skin treatments for a firmer arm profile

 

Injection Lipolysis (“Fat-Dissolving Injection”)

This treatment uses a bile acid-like substance to dissolve small, localized fat deposits, which are then naturally eliminated via the lymphatic system. It’s not primarily for skin tightening but works well in preparation or combination with firming treatments.

  • Function: Targeted reduction of localized fat pockets
  • Ideal for: Fat deposits on the back of the upper arm
  • Combination: Can be paired with skin-tightening treatments

 

Which Method Is Right for Me?

That depends on several factors, including:

  • Skin thickness and elasticity
  • Location and severity of sagging
  • Ratio of fat tissue to skin laxity
  • Desired results

 

Key Benefits at a Glance

  • No surgery, no general anesthesia
  • Noticeably firmer and more defined contours
  • Customizable treatment options
  • Sessions last 30–60 minutes
  • No social downtime

FAQ

Oberarme straffen ohne OP in Zürich

Is non-surgical arm tightening suitable for me?

A medical consultation is required to answer this. At the Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich, we assess skin elasticity, connective tissue, fat content, and muscle tone. Non-surgical arm tightening is best suited for mild to moderate laxity with stable body weight.

How many sessions are needed?

This varies based on the treatment and your initial condition. Ultrasound or laser treatments often require 1–3 sessions spaced weeks apart. RF microneedling and muscle stimulation are typically performed over 6–8 weeks as a series. Initial improvements are usually visible after the first session, with continued enhancement over the following months.

Can I return to work or exercise immediately?

Most of our treatments are minimally invasive and involve little to no downtime. Light activities can usually be resumed right away. RF microneedling or injection lipolysis may cause temporary warmth, tightness, or mild swelling. Depending on the method, it’s advisable to pause intense exercise for 24–48 hours.

Is a combination of treatments recommended?

Yes. Especially for more complex concerns, combining muscle stimulation, skin tightening, and fat reduction can be more effective. For instance, HI-EMMS can be combined with laser or ultrasound to simultaneously tone muscles and firm the skin. The ideal combination depends on your goals and physical condition.

How long do results last?

This varies based on treatment type, skin condition, age, and lifestyle. In general, results last one to two years – sometimes longer with occasional touch-ups. Muscle improvements from HI-EMMS benefit further from continued exercise.

Are these treatments also suitable for men?

Absolutely. Men can also benefit, particularly if they have weaker connective tissue or localized fat. A consultation can clarify suitability.

What are the costs, and are they covered by health insurance?

As these are elective aesthetic procedures, health insurance typically does not cover the costs. Prices vary depending on the method, number of sessions, and skin condition. We provide a transparent cost overview during your consultation.
