Are Morpheus8 results compatible with neck lift? Does it last one year or 3-5?

Question

I’m getting two different answers for how long it lasts. Would it be worth it to just save for a neck/face lift instead and do co2 for sun damage?

Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the skin. It uses Radiofrequency to assist with this. You have the Morpheus8 skin treatment every 3-4 weeks for 3 treatments and then once every 6 months in order to maintain the results and also have a good skin care system and protect your skin from the damages of the sun.
A neck lift or face lift is surgery and it typically last 5-9 years. You still will need to protect your skin from the damages of the sun and have a good skin care system. I suggest you consult with your doctor to see which treatment is best for you.

Hi spotster! It's a little more complicated than it seems. We are all individual and unique, right down to our aging process. We all age differently, so although Morppheus8 delivers amazing results, it is hard to put the results on an accurate timeline for the masses. It is the deepest FDA approved fractional technology that will stimulate new collagen formation, but not everyone has the same response because it depends on how your body heals. The Morpheus8 treatment is a controlled injury that stimulates your body to create more collagen and thereby tightens the skin, improving the overall appearance of your skin and "tricks" your skin into acting younger and healthier. That being said, once you complete your treatment series, you will continue to age from a better baseline, but it's hard to give a solid number. I would suggest coming in for a consultation so that we may look at your health history, age, skin type, lifestyle, etc.... and provide you with a better answer. That being said, the results are definitely longer lasting than other modalities in its' class. I hope that helps!

non Invasive treatments need to be done regularly, morpheus is every 3-4 months to maintain and improve the skin.  facelift is a big change and a 5-10 year result.  in between is facetite. I suggest you see an epxert. co2 doesnt lift or tighten that is competely separate from lifting, you can do at home peels like cosmelan and enlighten now virtually for your skin texture and tone (see link from emeragecosmetics.com).  get a comprehsive evaluation from a team who does it all.
With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or erbium( or microneedling RF (fractora, intensif) can be . performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles.  You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands
3. intensif or fractora RF microneedling for crepe skin and lifting
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella to improve lines and folds
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening
7. ultherapy and thermage for external tightening
8. regular Venus legacy, exilis ultra, or inmode forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO novathreads or silhouette instalift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production
see an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.
Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your questions! Morpheus 8 is a radiofrequency device that works to shrink wrap the superficial tissues. Morpheus 8 will not give you the same result as a surgical face and necklift. It does not address lifting any deeper tissues. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has experience with the InMode/Morpheus 8 system. In our office, we offer 3D imaging to give our patients an accurate idea of what their final result will look like. Good luck!

In our practice, a surgical neck lift involves removal of fat deposits above the platysma muscle with liposuction, surgical extraction of the fat underneath the platysma muscle and then a platysma-plasty to significantly improve the jawline.  Noninvasive treatment simply could not accomplish this.  If there is excess skin in the neck and the patients  are over 50 years of age, then a lower face and neck lift going to be required.
