I'm looking into skin tightening for my thighs, arms, and abdomen. Also, face and neck at some point. I've been reading about Bodytite, Morpheus8, J-plasma/Renuvion, Ultherapy, Body-'skin-/facetite, vaser, thermage, etc etc etc. There are so many! Which is most effective for the body (even if it's something I haven't mentioned)? ?And which is most effective for the face? I do not need much, if any, liposuction.
Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Considering options Each of the options you mentioned helps with skin tightening. The correct one for you would depend on how much laxity you have and your goals for treatment. BodyTite/FaceTite and Morpheus8 are options that do not require general anesthesia. J Plasma is often performed in conjunction with liposuction optimize results. The best place to begin is a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.

Answer: Morpheus8 is great for skin tightening and giving a more defined look 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: #skintightening options Hi customframes, The options for skin tightening address different levels of tightening with different mechanisms. Body/face tite and Renuvion (subdermal) are inserted under the skin. Body/face tite works on the deeper skin and Renuvion contracts the connective tissue that normally connects the skin to underlying tissues. Body/face tite do not make a change on crepe (skin surface) wrinkling-morpheus8 and Renuvion facial renewal works on the surface to tighten. Once you have an in-person consultation, your plastic surgeon will be able to help figure out which is best for what you need and/or trying to achieve. There are different types of anesthetics for the different treatments and different down times/recovery considerations also. Good luck!

Answer: Something Power Assisted In general, if you ask 10 plastic surgeons this question you will get 10 different answers. All of the above mentioned modalities are effective when utilized appropriately. Each one applies extra energy to skin, with or without liposuction, in order to stimulate the elastin fibers to contract and tighten. The most important thing is that you are seeking care from a board certified plastic surgeon who can appropriately manage your pre and postoperative care and can choose the appropriate modality for you that they are also comfortable with.
