Morpheus8 uses these needles to emit radiofrequency into the deeper layers of the skin, which causes the skin to tighten. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen.It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime. This also prompts the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid at a much greater rate than traditional microneedling. As a result, Morpheus8 allows for more significant benefits. It is an effective treatment to reduce the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, and tighten loose skin. 

What is Morpheus 8?

Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.

What are the benefits of Morpheus8?

Increased Collagen Production

Morpheus8 works similarly to traditional microneedling and introduces a new way to build collagen in the face. Collagen production diminishes as we age and is responsible for firmer, fuller-looking skin.

Diminish Fine Lines And Wrinkles

Again similar to microneedling, Morpheus8 can be used to improve the signs of aging around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Many patients notice their skin tone looks brighter, tighter, and smoother with fewer lines and wrinkles just a few weeks after their treatment. 

Lift And Tighten Loose Skin

As we age, it’s common for our skin to lose elasticity, especially sagging around the neck, chin, and jowls. Morpheus8 can tighten that loose skin, and help remove excess fat in these areas and around the arms, bra line, and other regions. 

Minimize Acne Scarring

Not only is Morpheus8 a highly effective acne treatment it can also shrink or, in some cases, shut down the oil glands under the skin that so often lead to acne. Once your acne has healed, Morpheus8 can reduce the appearance of acne scars by up to 50%—smoothing out the skin’s overall texture. 

Fade Stretch Marks

Stretch marks are common among men and women, especially on the abdomen, chest, and buttocks. Morpheus8 can eliminate those marks by breaking up the scar and fibrous tissue below the surface, leaving you with firmer skin and more excellent elasticity. 

Minimal Downtime

Because Morpheus8 is a non-invasive procedure, there is little need for downtime or recovery. However, most patients report a feeling similar to a mild sunburn immediately following their treatment; we recommend you avoid wearing makeup for 48 hours, strenuous activity for 24 hours, and direct sun exposure for 1-2 weeks. But after that initial healing time, you can resume your normal activities much faster than any surgical procedure would allow. 

Am I A Good Candidate For Morpheus8?

The best candidates for Morpheus8 are patients who are just starting to see the signs of aging and are looking to prevent the development of sagging skin. Morpheus8 is an excellent treatment to combat the breakdown of elasticity in your skin. Many patients like Morpheus8 because the results are more subtle and continue to improve over time as opposed to a surgical procedure.

How Soon Do You See Results?

Results from Morpheus8 treatments are not immediate, but you will see a difference soon. Most patients report changes within 3-4 weeks as their skin fully heals. However, optimal results are typically seen after 3-4 treatments, each scheduled a few weeks apart to allow your skin time to heal and improve before the subsequent treatment. 

How Long Do The Results Last?

Morpheus8 is a revolutionary skin tightening and anti-aging treatment. Patients love it because it helps address some of the most common signs of aging, including complexion issues, fine lines and wrinkles, and skin laxity. Most patients report that the results from their Morpheus8 sessions will last approximately one year.

Weight loss can seem like an endless pursuit, but even when you’ve put in the hours at the gym and adopted a healthy lifestyle, you might still not be seeing the results you want in the mirror. As we age, it’s common for excess skin to be an unfortunate side effect of weight loss. It can be very discouraging to achieve the number you’ve been working toward on the scale and still not fit into the clothing you desire to wear. 

If excess skin is a problem for you, surgical options are available. Buckhead Plastic Surgery has several options to help you, depending on your goal. Call our offices today and book your consultation. Our specialists will help you determine which treatments best satisfy your aesthetic goals. 

Liposuction

Many people think liposuction is the right procedure for excess skin. Liposuction can do a lot when it comes to sculpting the body. However, it does not tighten the skin. In addition, removing fat in areas where skin elasticity is challenging can leave skin looking even more loose as the fat that supports it is released. However, BeautiFill is a common, less invasive alternative to traditional Liposuction. With BeautiFill fan can be removed and transferred to another body area where you’d like to see more volume. The BeautiFill system also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, giving a subtle skin tightening effect. 

Body lift

A body lift is an ideal solution to deal with excess skin surgically. This surgery improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports skin and fat while also removing any excess sagging skin. It’s possible to remove excess fat during this procedure, and it can also improve the look of cellulite or other dimpled, irregular skin surface. 

Body lifts are incredibly customizable and can be performed on the abdominal area, buttocks, thighs, arms, and neck. However, because this surgery can address so many body areas, it can require a lengthy recovery. This, of course, depends on the places you’d like to treat and your body chemistry.

Tummy Tuck

Tummy Tucks (or abdominoplasty) is probably the most popular surgical option for dealing with excessive loose skin after extreme weight loss. Tummy tucks are not a new procedure and are commonly performed after extreme weight loss or pregnancy. This procedure targets loose skin and can tread diastasis, a condition that occurs to women during pregnancy. Diastasis can lead to a rounded abdomen because the muscles in the abdomen separate and don’t correctly reshape after the baby is born. This is a prevalent condition and causes weak abdominal muscles. Dr. Larsen can restore weakened or separated muscles during a tummy tuck and create a smoother and firmer abdominal profile. 

Although tummy tucks are popular for both male and female patients, many women prefer to opt for a total “mommy makeover” procedure when they consider a tummy tuck. This “One and done” approach targets many areas affected by loose skin after pregnancy. After a significant weight loss, many patients are disappointed to find that they could not achieve a flat and well-toned abdomen even with a healthy lifestyle. If this is the case for you, a tummy tuck might be the answer. Dr. Larsen can remove excess skin and repair and re-contour the abdomen into a more pleasing silhouette.

Accent Prime

Buckhead Plastic Surgery is proud to offer Accent Prime, a revolutionary device that is FDA approved to treat skin laxity on the face, body, and neck. Accent Prime has been getting a lot of attention lately because of its unique technologies. Accent Prime utilizes a combination of ultrasound and radiofrequency energy. Combining these two technologies allows it to reduce fat and tighten skin simultaneously. 

The Accent Prime device is an excellent option if you need to tighten a small amount of lax skin and deal with stubborn pockets of fat on the body and face. However, it’s not as effective as a body lift if you have excessive amounts of loose skin after significant weight loss. Nevertheless, accent Prime is an excellent option for tightening and contouring your curves.
