Is Venus Legacy or Exilis better to tighten thigh skin and treat cellulite?

Question

I want to tighten the skin on my thighs and treat cellulite at the same time. Which is better, Venus Legacy or Exilis? I am 40 and work out 6 times a week with heavy weights and HIIT and eat super clean and I still have quite a bit of cellulite and some loose skin on the front of my thighs....not a ton but enough to want to treat it. Can someone please help?

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.

The best treatment for cellulite is Cellfina. However, a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement for both skin tightening and cellulite. I recommend Sculptra and body treatments like Exilis Ultra/Venus Legacy, Cellutone/z wave. A VASER HI DEF procedure can be done for more contouring. See an expert for a formal evaluation.
