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
yes the skin laxity/elasticity can change based on hormones, weight changes, fluctuantous and frank bad luck or genetics. so I suggest you see an expert for what the best treatment is for you to help try and tighten your skin. Best, Dr. Emer.
It is unfortunate that losing weight can have an effect on skin tone and fullness. Being underweight on top of this does make things worse, and it is crucial that you ensure you have a healthy diet to maximize your soft tissue health. Collagen which supports your skin is weakened by a shortage of Vitamins (ip Vit C) and minerals, and low proteins can have the same effect. At the very least try and achieve a normal weight for your age and height, I would avoid any treatments as really you would be wasting your money on achieving very little.
