What is the best way to tighten slightly lax skin on inner thighs? (Photo)

Question

Would it be Microneedling (regular or RF) at a certain depth or Radiofrequency (Venus Legacy) at a certain temperature? Or something else?

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.

Hi Linda L

Microneedling can be used for most parts of the body. Common areas include the face, neck, arms, thighs, chest, and legs. Wherever you get stretch marks, pigmentation issues, scarring, saggy skin, and fine lines. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hello, microneedling with RF would be your best option. Microneedling will boost collagen while the radio frequency will heat the skin causing a tightening effect. Keep in mind that you will need a series of treatments.
