Morpheus or Venus Legacy for cellulite and skin laxity?

Question

I currently do Venus Legacy to help with cellulite and skin laxity on my thighs and butt. The regular treatments are starting to add up cost wise. I'm wondering if Morpheus would be a better alternative. I do Venus Legacy almost weekly. Is Morpheus something that requires a couple treatments and then maintenance vs multiple sessions? I'm not looking for anything invasive and I'm not interested in Cellfina or Cellulaze right now.

Thank you for your question. I would recommend a series of 3-6 of Morpheus for the cellulite. The Morpheus will help to tighten, tone, and break up the cellulite in the areas of concern.

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.
