Age 40, 125lbs, 5'4 - What can help aging skin on legs? (Photo)

Question

I am only 40. I have always had really toned, lean legs. I am 125lbs at 5'4. My ideal weight is 117 but it's shocking all of the cellulite I have developed over the past 3 years. When I pull the skin up the cellulite disappears. I feel too young for a thigh lift. What else can I do? I currently am super active and usually get near 20k steps in a day. I should incorporate strength training but not sure how much it would help? Any non-invasive treatments?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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. Helps reduce appearance of Cellulite by helping aid the production of collagen and tightening the skin. 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.
