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.

Morpheus8 is a great treatment option that will improve fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, and tighten the skin. Morpheus8 can help improve sun spot; however, IPL is the gold standard for that concern. Best of luck!

a picture would be very helpful here if possible.  having said that, a personal favorite for sunspots is a gentlemax pro laser treatment with the alex beam length for a single zap sunspot treatment.  first the sspots darken then they splinter and slough off.  For any kinds of lines and wrinkles, morpheus is clearly the way to go as it fills in defects, plumps collagen, contracts muscle and tightens skin.
