Would Morpheus8 minimize the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles? 73 y/o (photo)

Question

For a 73 year woman that has deep wrinkles fallen facial areas, deep lines around mouth?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Our experience, Morpheus 8 is very helpful for minimizing the appearance of both fine and deep lines and wrinkles. You would probably require three to six treatments at 60 day intervals or longer. Additionally, you appear to be a good candidate for facial volume replacement in your cheeks and for minimizing the appearance of some of the deep radio wrinkles around your mouth. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

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.

you would do so well with a lower face/neck lift under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort.  It is so much safer than general anesthesia and the results are much better also since I can sit  you up and fine tune the results right then and there.  Cost is roughly $15-20,000 and so worth it.

Morpheus8 treatment can be used to help improve lines and wrinkles of the face, but I think you would see minimal improvement with the procedure.  Your face has deep furrows and lines, loss of volume and looseness of the skin.  The best improvement you could get would be with more aggressive treatments, such as surgery, fillers, and laser resurfacing.

The morpheus radiofrequency microneedling procedure is excellent for sagging skin, jowls,  and wrinkles by stimulating your body to produce more collagen, tighten muscle and tighten skin.

Based on this photo, there are multiple factors causing the "deep wrinkles, fallen facial areas, deep lines around mouth". Although laxity (which you see as loose skin) is certainly one of those factors, we are also seeing loss of volume and support from structures under your skin, which is contributing to the downward shift and those deeper folds. Morpheus 8 can help you with the laxity by stimulating new collagen production, increasing skin quality, and tightening, to an extent, over series of treatments, but it won't replace your lost volume, and it can't reposition your skin (that is facelift territory). Imagine a mattress that has been slept on in the same spots for 45 years and now you can see the indentations or areas with the most use. This is the structure under your skin. The sheet that started out fitted is now looser after 45 years and can't tuck in anymore the way it was when new. No matter how unwrinkled the sheet on top, you will still be able to see unevenness. If you increase the skin quality (example a thin blanket over the top) it will do a better job of hiding these hills and valleys but it still won't hide the fallen areas since it just lays on top. Depending on how much improvement you want to achieve and your expectations, I think you'd be a great surgical candidate if you wanted to choose that path. However, if minimally invasive is your preference, then you would have a better result by combining Morpheus8 (at least 4-6 sessions) with other treatments such as fillers or fat transfer to address volume loss.

Hello; Morpheus8 would be the right treatment and choice for you. I recommend for you; to have it done. You will be very pleased. As a feature, it lifts your face and smoothes out your fine lines. In addition to these, I will give advise for Thermage FLX, Radiesse and Lanluma techniques for your face. Lanluma, performs for liquid facelift and supports lifting as well. Radiesse, eliminates your mid-face depression. With a few simple touches, you can achieve long-lasting rejuvenation and skin renewal on your face. I also give recommendation for Nucleofil on your eye area. It increases collagen synthesis and repairs the skin. By the accurate support of all these combinations, you can have a much younger and more vigorous appearance.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Non-invasive treatments only give minimal benefit at most. You have significant wrinkles on your upper and lower lip which would require medical grade dermabrasion to improve. The laxity of skin in your face will require a lower face and neck lift procedure. Choose your surgeon wisely based on a extensive experience producing natural results

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

I don’t believe that Morpheus would provide any improvement in your face to make any difference whatsoever. In your case, I would recommend having fat grafting to restore the volume that you have lost over the many years and you can also supplement it with the use of CO2 laser for the best results. Laser, however, is not a necessity here. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
