Ive been hearing a lot about Morpheus 8, is it effective? I already have voluma on my lower cheeks but there's only so much you can add. I'm 38 yo and lost a lot of fat in my face due to weight loss. What are the best treatments that last the longest that are nonsurgical for tightening the face (jowls, cheeks, under the eye)? Thank you for taking the time to answer!

Answer: Morpheus8 is a non-surgical tightening laser that works with microneedling and radiofrequency to achieve a defined look 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

Answer: Non-Surgical Lifting Hello, dgkutschera! Thank you for your question. Morpheus8 shows great results for overall skin tightening and some lifting with a series of treatments. If you are looking for something that will give more of a lift without surgery, a thread lift with Miracu PDO Threads might be a good option! I recommend finding a provider that carries this line of threads and has extensive training in performing this thread lift- when done properly it is a very safe and effective non-surgical treatment. Best of luck! Sincerely, Genie Alexander, RN BSN for Dr. Anna Petropoulos MD FRCS, Center for Classic Beauty, Boston and Danvers, MA.
