I’m 66 years old. Could I benefit from microneedling on my face and neck?

Question

Will microneedling lift neck and eyes?

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.

The results of microneedling for the face and neck will depend on the degree of laxity that you are experiencing. Age can be a limiting factor for any type of laser treatment as the younger you are the better the response. If you have good skin with limited laxity it could work with subtle results. Microneedling can be a  good option if you have realistic expectations. Another option to consider at this age is Threads which will give you a more dramatic result.
