Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

It is very unlikely that plasma pen treatments shall have worsened the wrinkling of your skin, so perhaps you are misinterpreting things. There's also no such thing as RF laser, so what exactly did you mean? Personally, I don't think your belly button looks bad; so, given you've already spent money, I'm not sure it's worth spending more for relatively limited gain.

i have done Silhouette Ultralift threadlifts for the belly button and see an improvement with those, basically lifting the top of the bellybutton and making it look more youthful
