Answer: Morpheus8 uses microneedling with RF to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin 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

Answer: Non surgical ways to treat loose abdominal skin There are no good non surgical alternatives to a tummy tuck. If you have loose skin and stretch marks of your lower abdomen, a tummy tuck is the best way to improve your contour. Non surgical methods, such as Thermage, do not work very well. If you are concerned about the scar of a tummy tuck or the anesthesia, then a tummy tuck may not be right for you. It's hard to say for certain without seeing a photo, so consult with a few experienced plastic surgeons to be sure.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Tummy tuck options There are skin tightening machines that some doctors may try on you, but they don't work and are a waste of money. I can appreciate that you are reluctant to have surgery, but non-surgical options simply don't work.

Answer: What are some natural ways to tighten skin on the abdomen without a Tummy Tuck??? Yes skin tightening CAN be done with Radiofrequency such as ThermiTight. However it depends on the amount of lose skin you have and your expectations. Going to a board certified plastic surgeon who performs abdominoplasty as well as Radiofrequency such as ThermiTight would probably give you some excellent information. Best to you.
