Can Morpheus8 be used to treat cellulite above the knees & thighs?

Question

Danielle Shanley, MD · Answer

Absolutely! Most cellulite is caused from lack of skin elasticity so tightening the skin will help reduce the look of cellulite. Morpheus8 will help break up the unwanted fat tissue. I would recommend 3 or more tx for best results. Good luck!

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.

Thank you for your question! Yes, Morpheus8 can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Morpheus8 helps redistributes fat out while tightening the skin. It's a great treatment overall for improved skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, and tightening!

Instead of Morpheus8 you may consider Aveli.  This treatment is designed specifically to target and improve cellulite.  It is a minimimally invasive FDA approved treatment with some results noticed as soon as the day of treatment.  See my website to learn more.

Morpheus8 would not be a good treatment for cellulite. It can help simulate collagen and elasticity which will help the appearance of cellulite. CoolSculpting may also help minimize the look of cellulite by eliminating fats cell followed by Venus Legacy which will help break up the cellulite. I would recommend scheduling a consultation in person to look at the area of concern before making a decision on what treatment is best to address your concerns. Good luck!
