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, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis treatment. Exilis works well for skin tightening of the neck, but if your main concern is sub-mental fat, Kybella may be a better option. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps
FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Dear jeannetteer:Thanks for sharing your photos. They are useful. Since I do not have the advantage to examine you, I hope you will be helped by the information below. My immediate recommendations are to obtain consultation with a talented, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with extensive skills in non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures for the neck and jowl.Options include: 1. Minor Surgical options includes: “Mini” lipo-contouring of the submental chin area, jawline and if desired the lower cheek. This is often combined with ThermiTIGHT, a radio-frequency needle sized probe placed under the skin with local anesthetic to directly contract the skin. 2. Non-Surgical procedure: Fat freezing using the CoolSculpting Cool-Mini applicator for under the chin and jowl / jawline. 3. My experience with energy-based trans-cutaneous “laser, ultrasound or radio-frequency” options like Exilis, Thermage and others for fat reduction and skin tightening has been underwhelming. Patients find them too hot and therefore cannot complete the procedure or find less than satisfactory results. Patients of color may also experience pigmentation changes. I hope this has been useful! All the best!
Hello there, It is difficult to assess this area without being able to examine the tissue. That being said, if there is submental fat in the area, I would recommend a combination of treatments. Kybella to reduce any submental fat.Ultherapy or Exilis Ultra to stimulate deep collagen and elastin to tighten and tone the tissue. The combination of these treatments will give you the most impressive improvement. It will help to "clean up" and chisel the jawline. I especially love the Ultherapy or Exilis approach because these treatments can be seen as an investment in your skin. By stimulating that collagen and elastin, you are reversing the aging process, and giving yourself more collagen and elastin to draw from down the road. I would recommend discussing this with a professional. Sarah RN BSN
We would recommend doing Exilis Ultra on your lower face and neck for the best results. For those patients who have a pocket of fat under the chin (you would need to be examined by someone familiar with this condition), Coolsculpting can help minimize the pocket of fat and improve the appearance of this area.
Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis. End results with Exilis treatments will take 3 months to show regardless, so it is not likely to results any quicker. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure...
Thank you for your question in regards to Exilis. Facial skin laxity is a result of loss in facial fat. Fillers are a great option to restore volume loss, while Exilis can help tighten areas of facial laxity but will not restore volume. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more bo...
