Morpheus8 question - is there a high risk it could cause facial fat loss?

Question

Hi there, if a person only has one morpehus8 face treatment is done at 3mm using heat of 18 degrees Celsius, is there a high risk that it would likely cause facial fat loss ?

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

In my opinion, it is unlikely that a Morpheus8 treatment at 3mm would cause facial fat loss.  Each person is different though, so an examination of you would be helpful to give you the best advice.

Thank you for your question! It depends on what area of the face your are talking about. 3mm to the sub-mental area with an energy of 18 will help target fat. I suggest you schedule a consultation with your provider to discuss the plan of care for your aesthetic goal. Best wishes!

Hi and thanks for your question!
It really depends on what part of the face you are discussing. Different parts of the face have different thicknesses. At 3 mm, you are not likely to reach the fat layer in cheeks in most people, but you might if the skin is very thin. At 3mm, you may reach fat in the neck or under the chin and remodel (or reduce) fat in those regions.
Hope this helps!

A depth of at least 4 mm is required to facilitate any kind of fat loss with Morpheus8.  You should not experience fat loss at 3mm
