Would Thermage CPT or Ultherapy tighten crepey skin on a healthy , not overweight woman of 60? Thank you

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.

These treatments help better with lifting and laxity, loose skin around the mouth, eyebrow, cheeks, jawline and neck. They sometimes do help the loose skin on the chest/hands and other areas but are better combined with superficial RF treatments like sublative or viva or fractional laser treatments for skin tightening and textural improvements.  You likely need a co2 resurfacing based on your age and condition, but this requires a meticulous laser surgeon to treat you and I suggest you really look for someone experienced who can offer you a full facial rejuvenation consultation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thermage is excellent for tightening the skin around the arms and legs.  It will tighten and lift the skin with only a single treatment.  The procedure itself takes approximately one hour and is entirely painless.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with great deal of experience with Thermage for the best cosmetic results.

I have had excellent results treating crepey arms in 60 and 70 year olds with Thermage.  It tightens and lifts the skin.  Using tretinoin cream and sun protection will maintain the effects of Thermage treatment.
