Will skin tightening via deep penetrating devices (Ultherapy, Thermage) prevent future sagging?

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.

Yes, that is very true. Of all the deep penetrating energy devices on the market, Ultherapy is the only device FDA cleared to lift your skin. Ultherapy targets weak collagen, not fat, on multiple levels, including SMAS, the deepest layer that plastic surgeons operate on during a face lift. Over a few months, brand new collagen is made causing your skin to lift and tighten.
