Will Morpheus8 help with old stretch Mark removal? Do you need more than 1 treatment? (Photo)

Question

I have older stretch marks on my hips, thighs, and below butt. I lost over 80 lb but am hesitant to do BodyTite at this time. My PS suggested Morpheus8 to help with stretch marks and tightening. Will I need more than 1 treatment? Is it better than the CO2 fraxel lasers?

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.

Morpheus8 tightens from above and BodyTite tightens for under the skin. Both do amazing together and since you are numbed up with tumescent local, why not get them both.
