Would Morpheus8 or fractional laser help revive lost elasticity? 25 y/o developing crinkle lines from sun damage (photo)

Question

I'm 25, very fair skinned. I have static crinkle lines developing on my forehead from sun damage. Recently I’ve had a good skincare routine, I put on sunscreen everyday and use trentioin and vitamin C in the morning. These lines aren’t going away, so I was looking for treatments that would revive that elasticity I’ve lost. Would Morpheus8, or a fractional laser be a better treatment? If fractional laser is better, it would be great if someone could specify which one.

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.

It sounds like you would be a good candidate for Morpheus8.It combines microneedling with fractionated radiofrequency (RF) energy. Morpheus8 targets subdermal layers to remodel collagen and enhance the appearance of the tissue. The skin gets tighter when the energy heats the tissues, and the body creates more collagen. Collagen production can take 10-12 weeks, so while some patients see immediate results, gradual improvement continues to show over a 3-month period.
