Question

As well as clear sun damage spots.

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.

Great question, thank you!  Microneedling with RF is an incredible tool which lifts, tightens, and brightens your skin. I would highly recommend this option over the Ultherapy.  I would also discuss with your provider PRP with your microneedlig.  PRP, or platelet rich plasma, helps to boost your collagen production, increase growth factors and overall increases your response to the microneedling and will help with all your concerns.  Thanks again for your question.  Best wishes, Dr. Lindsay J Sturm.

Hi
If you want to achieve better healthier skin with smaller pores, treat sun spots, lessen fine lines and lift the brow, I would recommend that RF microneedling as an effective in treating all these skin health concerns.  This procedure can be done in conjunction with PRP, natural brightening agents, growth factors for skin tightening and line reduction. 
Hope that helps,

Dr Joe
