Morpheus8 vs. Ultherapy after Sculptra and threads? (Photo)

Question

It has been two months since I was treated with both Sculptra and PDO threads in my face and neck. I’d like to do a skin tightening treatment for mild jowls and lax skin under chin. Is Morpheus not a good choice? Will it “melt” fillers and/or threads? Had some Botox as well. Would Ultherapy be a better choice?

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.
