Morpheus 8 for my lower face laxity and the dreaded "turkey neck
ORIGINAL POST
Morpheus 8
WORTH IT$1,900
I've decided on the Morpheus 8 treatment to deal with my lower face laxity and the "turkey neck" I developed in my 50's The pictures are of my face and neck 24 hours after the second treatment as well as immediately after the first treatment. I found the treatment to be tolerable but it's not exactly painless despite the numbing cream and nitrous oxide. I wish I had taken before pictures for comparison. I'm being patient with the results as I was told it will take 3 treatments and passage of time as well some maintenance treatments to see the results fully develop.
After the first treatment my skin felt rough and grid marks were visible once the skin started healing, I understand this to be the normal course, you might look fine to venture outside after a day or two but the healing takes way longer than what I hear everyone talk about. My treatments are spaced 8 weeks apart and I have definitely seen improvement in the texture of my neck, skin feels plumper and not as crepey as before the treatment, face feels tighter but I've always had good skin (genetics :) my neck was of the biggest concern and even though it still has a way to go I feel hopeful that after three recommended treatments and some yearly follow up treatments I will feel more confident.

Third treatment immediately post procedure
I asked if they could possibly crank the intensity up... especially on my neck, they happily agreed, warning though that the healing might take longer and the "grid" marks will be a bit more intense. After the first two treatments I have definitely noticed an improvement in skin texture as well as an all over face tightening, less laxity on the neck. Is my neck perfect? No, but it is improving. My treatments are spaced about 8 weeks apart so I'll take a break now for six months or so to see if there is further improvement. I've noticed that my eyelids have lifted somewhat as well, wishful thinking you say, maybe
and the difference is subtle but there's definitely a difference. I have a pretty high pain tolerance so the higher intensity was not a problem for me. As usual I forgot to take a before picture but have one of the "after" pretty hellish :)
