Crepey inner thigh skin. Fraxel? Thermitight? Ultherapy? Microneedling?

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.

There is not one answer as to which treatment is best for your crepey thighs. Everything depends on your skin quality and the degree of laxity you currently have. I'm assuming you noticed the crepeiness after you lost weight from your exercise routine. You would need to be evaluated in person to determine which therapy is best for you, or if a combination treatment is most appropriate. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who can offer you a choice between Fraxel, ThermiTight, Ultherapy, Microneedling or a combination of two or more of these to make the improvement you desire.

I recommend a combination approach for this area.  Sometimes a procedure like Thermi and VASER lipo can do give improvement to the thighs followed by RF tightening like exilis.  Sometimes a combination of in office procedures like profound, venus legacy, vanquish, coolsculpting and thermage can give improvement. I recommend getting a formal consultation with an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.
