I have been getting micrroneedling with little improvement - Will Morpheus8 help my jowls and neck? (photos)

Question

I'm 56 and take good care of my skin. I'm wondering if Morpheus8 will help my under chin area and neck and jowl area. I've lost 30 pounds and I find I have loose skin under my chin area too (I will not do Kybella).

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.

thank you for your question. morpheus8 is a fantastic treatment for skin laxity in the areas of concern you expressed. many of our patients use the mopheus for this exact treatment and have seen great results and laxity improvement. we would not recommend kybella as you expressed you did not want it because kybella does not help with loose skin only submental fat.

Your skin looks great. If you are concerned about the chin area, we could do Facetite and Morpheus8 combined under local or IV sedation.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You may want to consider FaceTite which requires only local anesthetic and uses RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%.  It can be combined with Morpheus8 treatments to enhance your results and improve overall skin tone and texture.
