Question

I am a 35 year old female and started to notice skin laxity in my neck. I am 137lbs and have fluctuated in my late 20’s and 30’s between 150-130lbs in the 6 years or so. I noticed a double chin at my heaviest but am losing weight currently and have observed this skin laxity. I am wondering if Morpheus8 or any other treatment may help with this? At home I have an Rf light therapy wand that I am trying to use consistently to help

Hello; There is looseness in your skin. Not in a normal position; but, when you tilt your chin slightly; you have fat; in the double chin area. In addition to this, your platysmal bands have formed. For loose skin; will make you tired in a very minimum case; but, the application; that will give you good results. Following PLA (Sculptura, Lanluma) injection; it is actually Morpheus 8 implementation. For fat in the jowl area; Vaserlipo or Necktite procedures can be done. If it is non-surgical; such as Kybella, Lipodissolve, Adipolipolysis; fat dissolving liquid injections can be done. For your platysmal bands; I recommend for Botox application.

The Morpheus8 would be the best option to tighten the skin along the submental area. Morpheus8 works by using a combination of radio frequency and micro-needling to stimulate collagen production. The best results are seen 12 weeks after your last treatment. Typically patients will do 3-6 treatments.

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.

Hello Fantastic7313,
You would be a great candidate for Morpheus 8! Morpheus helps to produce collagen, which creates a fuller more youthful appearance. It will help tighten the skin . 35 is a perfect candidate for Morpheus! I would say after 3-4 sessions you should see a nice improvement.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Skin laxity can occur with weight fluctuations as well as natural aging.  Morpheus8 is a great tool to help improve overall skin tone and texture.  Collagen production will be stimulated to give you longer lasting effects.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
