Is Morpheus8 Useless - should I just get a Neck Lift or Facelift? (photos)

Question

I'm 35 but have had excess skin (jowls I guess) under my neck since about 31. I have consulted w/ many surgeons & derms but have received conflicting advice from them all. Ultherapy ProfoundRF, GenLyft, Morpheus8 (which never has good before & afters weirdly) are all of those just scams & we should just get a neck or facelift?

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 is an excellent option for your concerns. Morpheus8 is a micro-needling treatment that utilizes radio frequency to tighten and lift the skin. I believe this will address your concern with jowl formation. I recommend that you see your provider for an in-person consultation.
