Commonly referred to as “bingo wings,” this concern usually involves a combination of stubborn fat deposits and skin laxity that creates a sagging appearance when the arms are extended.

What Causes “Bingo Wings”?

Several biological factors contribute to the loss of definition in the arms:

• Localised Fat Deposits: The tricep area is a common site for the body to store “stubborn” fat, which is often genetically predetermined and highly resistant to targeted exercise.
• Loss of Collagen: As we age, the production of collagen and elastin slows down. This causes the skin on the underarms to become thin, crepey, and less able to “snap back” against the muscle.

Muscle Atrophy: Without regular resistance training, the tricep muscles can weaken and shrink, leaving the overlying skin and fat with no structural support to sit against.

At Bijoux Medispa, we address the arms with a dual-action approach to ensure the area is both slimmed and tightened.

1. Emsculpt Neo® for Contouring

This treatment is ideal for those looking to burn fat and build definition. Using HIFEM+ technology, Emsculpt Neo stimulates intense muscle contractions in the triceps while simultaneously using Radiofrequency (RF) to permanently destroy fat cells. It effectively tones the “under-hang” while reducing the overall circumference of the arm.

2. Sofwave™ for Skin Tightening

For “crepey” or sagging skin, we recommend Sofwave. This award-winning technology uses Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPER™) technology to heat the mid-dermal layers. This triggers a massive regenerative response, stimulating new collagen production to lift and tighten the skin, providing a smoother, firmer appearance to the upper arm.
