What is the best RF to firm crepey skin? (photo)

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.

I don't think that anyone particular type of RF is best for this. I would treat with volume, such as Sculptra, in addition to RF. I would say that Thermitight or Bodytite is as good as any for this. Infini can be used as well but don't affect huge changes with any of these devices. Although I don't have experience with this yet in this area, Nanofat injections might be helpful with fat grafting.

This can respond to a variety of skin tightening drives, but for the amount of laxity, I would refer you to a surgeon for an opinion. The reason? None of the devices can give you a PREDICTABLE outcome with this clinical presentation. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.
