Which is better, Morpheus 8, Via Ace, Infini or Fractora?

Question

Asian, 51 years old with natural tan skin. I have noticed some jowling around my jawline, my neck skin is starting to loosen. I am wondering which treatment would be best to address these issues

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Morpheus8 provides both skin tightening and skin resurfacing improvements. The technology uses radiofrequency deep subdermal heating to effectively tighten skin and remodel the superficial texture, such as scarring and enlarged pores. Combining Morpheus8 with lasers can give both complexion and laxity improvements in one treatment, so it's an ideal add-on treatment for those who care about preventative sagging or scarring improvements. You can also add this on to liposuction or internal heating to get more improvement in the areas treated.  I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

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.

In  my opinion all of the stated devices are excellent. However, the Profound unit has the longest pulse duration and therefore produces the most collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastic fibers. The other units do not have a pulse longer than one second. Studies have shown that a 3-second pulse duration and 67° C are the ideal parameters.

By far the answer is the new version of Infini by Lutronic-- now called Genius. Highly effective with the least amount of pain. Find someone who knows these devices.
