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.

In my opinion, the wrinkles that you have above your belly button are not severe. It will be necessary to tighten the skin from your belly button up about 5 inches to get good retraction. We have used both Infini aswell as Cellulaze to get the skin tightening. Almost any Radio Frequency device should produce adequate results. Seet a physician who is willing to show you photos. Hope this helps. Good luck.
