What is the best skin tightening treatment in 2023 for loose skin on thighs and buttocks?

Question

It appears Thermage FLX, Morpheus8, Elixis and Ultherapy but I can't decipher which is the best technology for loose skin on my thighs and buttocks. Thanks in advance!

I would personally use the  Environ Roller-CIT which offers great results and can treat loose skin/cellulite. A notable difference can already be seen with the first treatment but 3 to 5 treatments are usually recommended for the best results.

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.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You may be a candidate for BodyTite which uses RF technology to tighten skin.  It is minimally invasive and does not require general anesthesia.  This procedure can be combined with Morpheus8 to optimize your results.  The next step is to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
