Would Morpheus8 help spot reduce volume in nasolabial folds? (photo)

Question

I have this annoying volume above the nasolabial folds. Nothing I do works because of that volume ( I had fuller abs fst but they migrate there). Would rf applied only where the extra volume is help me spot reduce it?

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.

Hello, thank you for your question! Morpheus8 would help reduce volume in the nasolabial folds because it targets the deeper layers of skin to remodel the skin's tissue. It stimulates collagen and elastin to tighten your skin; which will help soften your nasolabial folds. The procedure is minimally invasive and little to no downtime. I do recommend 3-5 treatments to obtain your goals. I hope this helps!

We can't see you full face, but probably you need additional volume (in the submalar area) above that fold to fill in the cheeks from the front.  That is most likely the issue.
