Would Morpheus8 work for inner thigh fat?

Question

To target inner thigh pockets of fat, is it better to do Morpheus8 standing up to see the bulge or laying down? Would Morpheus work for inner thigh fat? And how many sessions usually needed?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If you are wanting to address specific fatty pockets of the inner thigh you may want to consider BodyTite.  This treatment uses RF technology both under and on top of the skin improving firmness.  Liposuction can also be performed locally to address excess fat.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

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.

BodyTite would be a better solution for targeting inner thigh fat. It is a minimally invasive procedure using radio frequency to melt stubborn fat for easy removal. Morpheus 8 is an amazing addition to body Tite because it will help to strengthen, firm and tighten skin laxity after fat reduction. I would recommend starting with one BodyTite and 3 Morpheus8 treatments, once every 4 weeks.

Jennifer R. Berman, MS, MD · Answer

Morpheus8 can effectively treat inner thigh fat by tightening the skin and stimulating collagen production, but it's more effective for skin tightening and improving skin texture rather than significant fat reduction. If your primary goal is fat reduction, treatments like CoolSculpting or liposuction might be more suitable.

Standing vs. Laying Down:
Standing: This position can help the practitioner see and target the bulge more accurately since gravity will show the natural distribution of the fat.

Laying Down: This is typically more comfortable for the patient and is still effective, especially if the practitioner is experienced in assessing and treating the area.

Ultimately, your provider will assess the best approach based on your anatomy and goals.

Number of Sessions Needed:
Most people need 3–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart to see optimal results. However, this can vary based on the amount of fat and the degree of skin laxity.
