Question

How long does it last and does it improve frown lines, turkey neck and jowls?

Lisa M. Jukes, MD · Answer

Hey there! I'm so happy to help answer. Yes, Morpheus8 does improve frown lines, turkey neck and jowls. Settings are adjustable for each area of concern.

Typically, we opt to leave the undereye area alone since it is more prone to losing fat. Our before and afters will show the lift that Morpheus8 gives to the neck and jawline.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, hope you are well. What you are told is correct--microneedling with RF (commonly marketed as Morpheus) tightens the skin. It does this by stimulating collagen production within the dermis. The effects are usually apparent within a few days to a few weeks and patients often continue to see improvement up to 3 months after treatment. But alas, the aging process continues, and sometimes we perform the treatment for a few sessions to reach a satisfactory endpoint. If you have significant marionette ('frown') lines, turkey neck, and jowls, it is very unlikely to sufficiently tighten the skin to make these issues disappear. For mild problems, I sometimes combine the Morpheus treatment with FaceTite (RF applied deep to the skin), and for moderate to severe jowling etc I generally recommend a facelift if you are a suitable candidate. Hope this helps!
Best,Dr. Tower
