Question

Looking to get rid of minor jowls and tighten lower face

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Morpheus8 provides both skin tightening and skin resurfacing improvements. The technology uses radiofrequency deep subdermal heating to effectively tighten skin and remodel the superficial texture, such as scarring and enlarged pores. Combining Morpheus8 with lasers can give both complexion and laxity improvements in one treatment, so it's an ideal add-on treatment for those who care about preventative sagging or scarring improvements. You can also add this on to liposuction or internal heating to get more improvement in the areas treated.  I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

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.

Yes. Morpheus provides radio frequency skin tightening as well as micro needling. It will tighten as well as reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Morpheus8 is a fantastic option for your concerns. It can tighten the skin, promote collagen growth, and improve jowl appearance. The procedure has little to no downtime, but results may take about 6-8 weeks to completely finalize. Going forward, I would recommend you to complete in-person consultations with multiple board-certified experts to discuss your ideal results. Best of luck!

Morpheus is absolutely an option for this!  At Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center in Monroe, Mi, tightening along the jaw line and getting rid of jowls is our number one request from patients and the results are awesome.  Morpheus gets just deep enough to put that radiofrequency energy exactly where it needs to be to increase collagen production, tighten muscles and even get rid of a small amount of fat.  Please see our before and afters for a demonstration.
