A: Hello Bkanner! Thank you for your question. Morpheus8 shows great results for overall skin tightening and some lifting with a series of treatments. If you are looking for something that will give more of a lift without surgery, a thread lift with Miracu PDO Threads might be a good option! I recommend finding a provider that carries this line of threads and has extensive training in performing this thread lift- when done properly it is a very safe and beautiful treatment. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our office if we can be of service or if you'd like a consultation- the phone number is 978-739-9500. Best of luck! Sincerely, Genie Alexander, RN BSN for Dr. Anna Petropoulos MD FRCS, Center for Classic Beauty, Boston and Danvers, MA.

A: Hello, cjwells51, thank you for your question! In our practice take a holistic approach to aesthetics, and achieve some wonderful results with various nonsurgical modalities. Morpheus8, SylfirmX and ScarletRF are both fabulous treatments that combine radiofrequency with microneedling to tighten the skin as well as improve skin tone and texture. Additionally, the Agnes RF device is used for precision in smaller areas such as under the eyes or skin laxity in the lower face. It can address fat pads as well as skin laxity. PDO Threads and dermal fillers are also a great way to improve upon the results of RF-microneedling. All of this is to say that you can absolutely make improvements without surgery, if that is your preference. We wish you the best of luck in your search!

A: Hello, kjk85, thank you for your question! In our practice we love skin tightening, and see some great results with various devices for under-eye skin laxity. Morpheus8, SylfirmX and ScarletRF are both fabulous treatments that combine radiofrequency with microneedling to tighten the skin as well as improve skin tone and texture. As we age, many factors can contribute to worsening under-eyes, and we address many of them by using RF-microneedling for the entire face. Additionally, the Agnes RF device is used for precision in smaller areas such as under the eyes. It can address fat pads as well as skin laxity. All of this is to say that you can absolutely make improvements without surgery, if that is your preference. We wish you the best of luck in your search!

A: Hello KS12321, thank you for your question! This may be a case for both botox and fillers, or many other services. It would be important to do a full facial evaluation to determine what is causing the asymmetry- is it buccal fat, the masseter muscle, the mandible itself, or perhaps something else entirely. In our practice, we do such an evaluation followed by an in-depth discussion of various modalities such as toxin, filler, radiofrequency, and more. Be sure to find a provider who will be thorough from beginning to end. We wish you the best of luck in your search!
