What are the best skin tightening options for my thighs?

Question

What is the best procedure to firm cellulite/back of thighs without fat loss? I do not have the best skin laxity so would like to avoid fat loss and just smooth or tighten the area.

Albert Ko, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question! A treatment I would suggest is the Morpheus8. Morpheus8 uses micro needling and radio frequency to stimulate the production of collagen, boosts elastin, and diminishes the appearance of cellulite. This treatment can be performed on the back of your thighs while being minimally invasive. This treatment works best in a series of 3 every 4- 6 week apart. Thank you!

It's difficult to make a specific recommendation without an exam.  There are a few options you may be a candidate for.  BodyTite is a procedure that uses RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%.  Results can be optimized when Morpheus8 treatments are added.  Another option to consider is J-Plasma.  For cellulite you may be a candidate for Aveli which is specifically designed to improve the appearance of cellulite.

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.
