What's the possibility of harming a organ (ovaries) if Morpehus8 to the belly is done the wrong way?

Question

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

In medicine, nobody likes to give you absolutes, but, here, there is pretty much zero chance.  Ovaries are very deep in your body and the Morpheus 8 will send energy less than one cm.

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi jpina1972, Thank you for your question regarding whether the Morpheus8 could harm ovaries if done the wrong way. The short answer is “no, the Morpheus8 will not harm the organs and ovaries if done incorrectly”. With the Morpheus8, the settings are controlled on the external tower. The emission of energy is only at the Morpheus8 needle tips. The Morpheus8 energy does not go further. The Morpheus8 energy certainly does not extend into the ovaries. I hope this helps answer your question regarding whether the Morpheus8 could harm your ovaries if performed incorrectly. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

A Morpheus8 treatment to the abdomen would not affect the ovaries.  The Morpheus8 treatment would not go deep enough to have any affect as deep as the ovaries are.

Vishnu Rumalla, MD · Answer

Thanks for your inquiry, Morpheus 8 goes only mm's deep. Your ovaries are deep in the pelvis under the muscle.  Unless one of your ovaries is sitting in a very superficial hernia, Morpheus 8 should affect them, good luck.

Hello jpina1972,
please further elaborate in your question? Morpheus8 does not penetrate deep enough to get to the ovaries. The RF is delivered at the localized level of the dermis. There can always be bruising, but the needles would not penetrate into deep pelvic organs. Hope this helps,
