Skin tightening on chest. What sort of procedure would be suitable?

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.

Thank you for your question!  We recommend Ultherapy to help tighten the skin.  Ultherapy uses heat energy to stimulate the skin to create new collagen and tighten.  This can also be combined with a diluted filler called Radiesse for an improved skin quality as well.  We do recommend that you use Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar two weeks before and after your treatment for an improved and accelerated result!  

Hello, another option to consider is radiofrequency microneedling (eg Lutronic Genius) and/or injections of hyper-dilute Radiesse. These two treatments both stimulate collagen production by different mechanisms. A series of treatments are needed but they are usually well tolerated with minimal downtime. Good luck!
