Does Morpheus8 resurface skin the same as Fractora does?

Question

I understand Morpheus8 goes deeper into the subdermal/subcutaneous fat than Fractora, but does it also provide skin resurfacing benefits like Fractora or would you need to add Fractora for skin resurfacing in areas being treated with the Morpheus8 handpiece? I'm looking for minimally or non-invasive right now. In the past, I've had J plasma subdermal skin tightening with amazing results, but I neither need that at the moment nor want downtime from it or facetite. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jamie, Morpheus8 provides both skin tightening and skin resurfacing improvements. The technology uses radiofrequency deep subdermal heating to effectively tighten skin and remodel the superficial texture, such as scarring and enlarged pores. Combining Morpheus8 with lasers can give both complexion and laxity improvements in one treatment, so it's an ideal add-on treatment for those who care about preventative sagging or scarring improvements. You can also add this on to liposuction or internal heating to get more improvement in the areas treated.
I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

There is good news!  Morpheus8 now has a new tip that is specifically for resurfacing along with a whole new software update so yes, it does resurface as good or better than Fractora. We have had great results with it at Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center in Monroe, Mi.  Good luck!
