Is Morpheus 8 safe/effective for wrinkles/tightening under eyes?

Question

I am considering Morpheus 8 instead of a second Co2 laser to tighten skin under eyes (I use Botox, have had one Fraxel Repair, still have wrinkles under eyes, mainly when I smile). My main concern is that it is so new. I have read good reviews, but also some re: tract marks, especially with Fractora, also fat loss. I don't have bags, therefore fat loss would not be good. I will be going to a reputable person, but always like to do further research. Thanks for any input!

Morpheus8 and Accutite do amazing together for the skin tightening around the eyes and is easy to undergo. They are so much better than CO2 lasering.

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.
