Will Ultherapy help with this crinkly stomach skin? (Photo)

Question

I am a 32 year old female in good shape who has never had a baby. I’ve never lost or gained a significant amount of weight. I’ve fluctuated over the years with my lightest weight being 98lbs in college to approx 114 today. A lot of that gain is muscle as I started lifting weights after college. I’m approx 5ft 2. In the last two years I’ve noticed my stomach skin crinkling, esp when flexed. Will ultherapy fix this?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.
