What is the best option for crepey skin on front of thighs?

Question

Not saggy - but crepey. Had Elixis done with not great results and trying Emtone now. Just wondering if RF microneedling or Thermage is a better option and if so - which one? Not sure that “surgery” can be done just to tighten the skin? I’m thin and work out.

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 no best teatment for this. sometimes you need thigh lifting or liposuction + renuvion to get best results. will need a combination of

1) twice monthly RF treatments
2) morpheus every few months
3) thermage every few months
4) twice monthly trusculp flex.

all of this will slow down the aging process.  Best, Dr. Emer.
