Which is better for skin tightening: Mopheus8, Pixel8, or PRX?

Question

I am a 64 yr old female, 5'4", weight 116 lbs. I am in excellent health. Have post menopausal collagen loss. Would like to tighten us my face a little without surgery. Have been researching Morpheus 8, and Pixel 8. Also just found out about the PRX treatment. Which of these would be best to accomplish some tightening?

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. 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,
