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.

Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis. Exilis uses radio frequency to melt fat and tighten skin. A series of treatments are required, and results will continue to improve over a 3 month period. Unfortunately, Exilis is not a treatment to help improve the appearance of stretch marks. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

I would highly recommend trying Exilis Ultra. The Exilis tightens loose skin and burns fat using radiofrequency and ultrasound energy simultaneously. 4 to 6 sessions are recommended, while most start seeing results after two. It's non-invasive, pain free, and requires no down time. The results are typically very successful. Hope this helps!
