Quantum Arms

QuantumArms is advanced body contouring technology that removes unwanted fat deposits and remedies loose, lax skin on the arms. Using state-of-the-art minimally invasive radiofrequency technology, Dr. Joshua Baker gives his clients a chance at achieving more toned, sculpted, and attractive arms.

For many, results like these can’t be achieved through diet and exercise alone. By using this versatile cosmetic technology, researchers have found that patients lose up to 17.7% in circumference after being treated.^[1] Servicing the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, Dr. Baker’s QuantumBody approach to body contouring can revitalize your hard-to-reach unwanted fat. And, you can’t get it anywhere else!

About

Through diet and exercise alone, many see satisfactory results in muscle development, definition, and overall weight loss. But there are some places around the body that are harder to target than others. Especially as you get older, it can be more difficult to lose unwanted fat with a healthy and active lifestyle. Our bodies just don’t bounce back like they used to. One of those areas is the back of the arms. This area is home to the triceps brachii and can be very difficult to target through weight training and cardiovascular exercises. When the skin in this area is stretched, it is very hard for it to return to its normal elasticity. In the past, usual procedures to correct this have been fairly extensive and invasive operations that leave scars from the elbow to the armpit. With QuantumArms, Dr. Baker has created a way to give you firm, contoured arms void of scars and significant downtimes. 

Benefits

Dr. Baker’s QuantumArms treatment works to break new ground in body contouring procedures. In the past, surgeries like liposuction have been sufficient at extracting fatty tissue from various areas around the body, however, liposuction can’t tighten the skin in the process. Liposuction may be the perfect solution for some who just need their fatty tissue addressed. But what about the people who wish for fat loss and skin tightening? The answer: Dr. Baker’s QuantumArms approach, the 2-in-1 solution.

Fat Loss

Using a radio-frequency assisted device, the QuantumArms procedure works to extract fat cells around the upper arm just above the elbow. The radio waves use thermal energy to exclusively liquefy fat cells while Dr. Baker utilizes a robotically-controlled cannula to gently sculpt away your troublesome, fatty tissue. In a study where 97 people underwent a radio-frequency assisted liposuction, 85% of them walked away satisfied with their body contouring results.^[2]

Skin Tightening

As we age, our bodies’ skin becomes more lax and loose; the culprit for this is the decreasing amounts of readily produced collagen in our dermis. When we’re young, our skin is ripe with collagen to smooth out wrinkles, keep our skin tight and moisturized. This collagen production peaks around our mid to late 20s and begins its descent thereafter. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, women lose 30% of their collagen production in the first five years of menopause and 2% every year after. With depleted collagen levels, our skin has an increasingly more difficult time tightening itself after losing weight or having kids. But with Dr. Baker’s QuantumArms approach, radio waves hold the key to regaining that youthful perkiness to the skin in your arms. 

The thermal energy generated by radio waves penetrates the deep dermal layers of the skin to activate the semi-dormant collagen receptors. This thermal energy heats the receptors and triggers them to increase production. With heightened levels of naturally generated collagen, the skin’s laxity subsides, resulting in tighter, firmer skin. 

Less Downtime

We understand that some patients can be hesitant when familiar with the downtime associated with traditional methods of fat removal. With QuantumArms, you don’t have to worry about any extensive recovery times or uncomfortable night stays in a hospital. This outpatient procedure is done under IV sedation and is minimally invasive, so you are free to return to your daily activities 24 hours after your procedure!^[3]

Preparation

Before your QuantumArms procedure, it is important to:

Procedure

On the day of your QuantumArms procedure, local anesthesia will be administered, and a small incision will be made in the back of your arms. The robotically controlled cannula will then use radio waves to heat up the surrounding fat cells, liquefying them. Once liquified, the cannula will gently remove the fatty tissue. Since the cells aren’t in their solid-state, more fat cells are able to be extracted than in traditional liposuction. Radiofrequency energy also works to heat up the deep dermal layers responsible for collagen production. This causes the skin to retract pulling it closer to the limb. Once completed, a small suture will be applied to the tiny incision and you will be off on your way!

Recovery

Since only local anesthesia was used and only minimal incisions were made, the recovery time is less than liposuction. After the procedure, you can expect some slight bruising and swelling in the targeted areas. The arms may feel a little tender and sore; this is completely normal. During this time it is important to:

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures 

After experiencing the level of care and results we are committed to, you might be interested in other facets of the Quantum Body. While they can be performed as standalone procedures, they can also be compiled into one complementary treatment plan to achieve your ideal physique. Two other QuantumBody approaches are:
