Does Morpheus 8 melt fat during facial treatments? I've read both yes and no during research. I would like to tighten my jowls using a non surgical route, as they are not that bad, but I don't want to risk doing anything that will make me look older in the process. I also do not want to jeopardize a possible facelift later down the road due to too much fat loss.

Answer: Morpheus8 is NOT going to melt fat when done correctly! There are many settings on the Morpheus8 machine that has specific functions. Each setting is taylored for that specific patient. If you want just skin tightening, then there are settings for that and specific number of pulses and passes with the headpiece for each different area of the face or body. If you need fat shrinkage, then there are specific settings for that. Often patients need both skin tightening and fat shrinkage and then we use specific protocols for that. An example would be jowls. They usually need both. When you tighten skin up, sometimes it appears thinner but it isn't. It is just tighter and smoother looking because you have fixed the bulgy sagging skin on the face. You almost never can lose fat on the face with Morpheus8 when you are only using numbing cream since it would be too painful to use the higher settings needed to get deep into the fat layer and melt the fat. That usually is only done under local injection and/or iv sedation. I like doing all my Morpheus8 under local with iv sedation for complete comfort and I can really get good skin tightening with the higer settings and have it all done in 1 session which you can't get with multiple whimpy settings.
