Hi, I am a 59yr old female who has very wrinkly skin above my knees and thighs. I am so embarrassed that I don’t wear shorts, dresses above the knee or anything that shows my knees. I am wondering if Morpheus8 might help? The wrinkles are not a result of weight loss or lack of exercise. I think I just have skin that has lost all elasticity and the result is mentally awful. I would love a recommendation and also to see before/after photos of how this procedure works on the knee area.

Answer: A combination of Morpheus8 and Melapeels can help tighten the skin and reduce appearance of crepey skin. 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. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Morpheus8 Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, Morpheus8 can be beneficial for improving wrinkled skin above the knees. This treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. By addressing both the surface and deeper layers, Morpheus8 can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture and firmness in areas with loose or crepey skin, such as above the knees. While individual results can vary, many people experience noticeable improvements with minimal downtime. I use this treatment all the time and highly recommend it! I hope this helps and best of luck!
