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.

Hi there! I believe you would be a great candidate for a knee skin lift. Based on the photo, I dont think you will have significant improvement with all the non surgical skin tightening machines available on the market. It is a simple procedure performed in clinic under local anesthesia! You need to prevent and knee flexion for the first 2 weeks (the most you can. Some people do one knee at the time to make the postop more easy). I hope this help a bit!
