While a triceps-only treatment can certainly yield positive results by improving muscle tone and firmness in the back of the arm, it fails to address the full picture. It\'s akin to only filling a small portion of a deflated balloon; it will get firmer in that spot, but the rest of the balloon will remain loose.
The Bicep\'s Overlooked, Crucial Role
The key to achieving a truly firm and sculpted upper arm lies in understanding the principle of "volumetric fill." The skin of the upper arm is a continuous sheath that stretches over the muscles beneath it. The skin on the anterior (front) and lateral (side) portions of the upper arm is continuous with the skin on the posterior (back) portion.
When you only treat the triceps, you are addressing only one part of this sheath. By treating the biceps with EMSCULPT NEO, you actively increase the volume of the muscles on the front and sides of the upper arm. This increased volume creates an outward pressure on the surrounding skin. As the biceps develop, they physically pull the continuous sheath of skin on the posterior upper arm closer and more snugly against the triceps, helping to fill out the arm from the front and sides.
The Synergistic Power of Dual-Muscle Treatment
This is where the magic happens. The most dramatic and satisfying results for reducing loose underarm skin come from a comprehensive treatment plan that targets both muscle groups.
The Triceps treatment directly addresses the laxity on the back of the arm, tightening the area that is most prone to sagging.
The Biceps treatment provides crucial anterior and lateral volume, creating a symmetrical, well-defined shape that physically pushes out against the skin from the front and sides.
When you treat both the triceps and biceps, you create a balanced, high-volume foundation for the skin to rest upon. This simultaneous, all-around toning effect results in a significantly tighter and more sculpted upper arm, effectively diminishing the appearance of loose skin from all angles. It\'s a holistic approach that moves beyond simply targeting the area of concern and instead rebuilds the entire structure of the upper arm.
Conclusion
If your goal is to achieve the most powerful and transformative results for loose underarm skin, don\'t settle for a triceps-only treatment. The synergistic power of targeting both the triceps and biceps with EMSCULPT NEO is the key to maximizing muscle volume and achieving a truly toned, firm, and sculpted upper arm. By treating the arm as a complete, interconnected unit, you can finally say goodbye to the "bat wing" and hello to arms you\'ll be proud to show off. Consult with an experienced provider, like Dr. John W Phelts, DC at Phelts Chiropractic P.C. in New York, NY to discuss a personalized plan that will help you achieve your goals.
