It is more efficient in patients in the younger age group.
This process, which is applied with a laser, is used to achieve a tighter arm image in a very short time. The laser melts the fat in the arm. The melt is often removed from the body by liposuction. It is a method applied in cases where there is lubrication on the arm and less sagging.
