Should I get Morpheus 8 again?

Question

I got Morpheus 8 above my upper lip to give a more lifted tighter look, I'm afraid to do it again because a lot of people say that it can melt your fat pad… could I use an at home rf device above my upper lip to maintain the lifted look?

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.

Hello and thank you for your question! While Morpheus8 is capable of melting small pockets of fat in order to tighten skin, it can only do this to a degree. It shouldn't be a problem to get Morpheus8 again for some more lifting. However, home rf devices can also be helpful at achieving the lifted look as well.
