Would I benefit from Morpheus8 treatment for my cheek wrinkles or should I get a facelift now? (photos)

Question

Hello, would I benefit from a Morpheus8 treatment (areas of concern include cheek wrinkles and mild laxity) or should I get a facelift now? Thank you.

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.

Best,

Hi and thank you for your question.  Looking at your photos, I would recommend Morpheus8 for full face and neck.  Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis.   By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the tissue will be remodeled to reveal the results you are looking for.    I would suggest meeting with your physician to come up with a treatment plan that works best for you,
