Saggy crepey skin after arm Liposuction - what procedures can be done to tighten skin? (photos)

Loose skin is not uncommon after liposuction or just aging in general. Skin tightening procedures including radio frequency are usually best such as morpheus 8. This is a radio frequency microneedling procedure that tightens skin by heat induced collagen and elastin remodeling. Typically several treatments are needed and full results are seen after 12 weeks from the last treatment but can be seen gradually. Best wishes!

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.
