At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick W4, bingo wings treatment uses LPG Endermologie on the Cellu M6 Infinity to help firm and smooth loose upper arm skin, starting with a 60-minute Discovery Session for £99. It suits mild to moderate softness. Bingo wing surgery is the only way to remove hanging skin.
Bingo wings is the everyday name for soft or loose tissue under the upper arm. The right answer depends on what that tissue is, and many people have a mix.
The arm looks soft, but the skin still springs back when pinched. Exercise is the best first step.
Loose skin on the arms is thin and slow to tighten on its own. This is where arm skin tightening with LPG fits best.
A fold that hangs between the armpit and elbow. Only surgery removes it, and non-surgical treatment will not change that.
Bingo wing exercises work the triceps, the muscle at the back of the upper arm. Press-ups, dips and dumbbell or overhead extensions all build it, and a firmer muscle gives the arm a better shape. It is worth starting there, whatever else you decide.
What exercise cannot do is shrink stretched skin. You also cannot choose where your body loses fat, so arm workouts alone will not target fat on the arm.
If you have been training consistently and the skin still looks loose, muscle is probably not the problem. That is when a skin treatment or a surgical opinion makes more sense than more exercise.
There is no single best option for everyone. Of these, Omnia offers LPG only.

If hanging skin is your main concern, surgery is the honest route, and we will say so.
A bingo wings operation is called a brachioplasty, or arm lift. The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons says it treats excess tissue from the armpit to the elbow, under a general anaesthetic, usually in one to two hours with one or two nights in hospital.
The trade-off is the scar. It sits on the inner arm and may extend onto the side of the chest. You also wear compression garments for the first few weeks.
We could not find an official UK figure for bingo wings surgery cost. Cosmetic surgery is not usually available on the NHS, so expect to pay privately, typically several thousand pounds. Ask for a written quote that includes consultations and aftercare, and check the surgeon on the General Medical Council register and the hospital with the Care Quality Commission.
The aim is firmer, smoother skin. It will not remove loose skin or replace strength training.
Most people come weekly for a course, then monthly to maintain results. See how many Endermologie sessions you need.
You pay after your treatment, with nothing to pay upfront. Follow-up length depends on the areas treated.
LPG cannot remove bingo wings. Removal of hanging skin needs surgery, so speak to a plastic surgeon first.
Skin responds better once your weight has settled. Keep up your strength work, and come back when things are stable.
See your GP first for swelling in one arm, pain, a lump or a skin change. These need checking before any treatment.
LPG is not used with active cancer, infection, phlebitis or a blood clot, open wounds or inflamed skin. With a circulatory or blood disorder, recent surgery, a pacemaker or an implanted device, get your doctor's or surgeon's advice first.
