Question

34, 2 pregnancies. How can loose skin around a bellybutton be corrected? Is it a surgical procedure or more like a laser type treatment? Thanks!

Hi- I would recommend the Morpheus8 as a noninvasive treatment option to address your complaints. Morpheus8 is a versatile tool with many benefits which include:

-Reduction of wrinkles
-Production of collagen and reorganization of fat for a smoother, sleeker appearance of the face and body
-Removal of extra sag in the belly
-Reduction of crepey skin on the upper arms, front of legs, back of legs, and knees

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,
