Everything You Need To Know About Our New Skin Tightening Treatments
Skin tightening treatments have grown significantly in popularity over the last few years. With more and more people utilizing treatments like GLP-1s (Ozempic, Semaglutide, Wegovy), and people spending time dieting and exercising, there is an increasing interest in treatments that can tighten skin especially around the face/neck, abdomen/waist, and around the hips and thighs. Simultaneously, there have been substantial improvements in non-surgical skin tightening treatments. While surgical treatments like a face lift or an abdominoplasty continue to provide the most dramatic results, there are many new treatments and treatment protocols that can help with skin tightening. Here at Cape & Islands Plastic Surgery on Cape Cod, we provide not only surgical treatments, but both minimally invasive, and non-invasive skin tightening treatments. In this article, we wanted to cover a lot of the new treatment options that have become available in the last few years.
What Is Morpheus8 & Morpheus8 Burst?
Morpheus8 is a skin tightening and smoothing treatment that combines two powerful technologies: radiofrequency and microneedling. Together these treatments help deliver heat deep in the skin that leads to the development of new healthy skin tissue. This helps patients address loose skin, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. But a new treatment protocol from Inmode is Morpheus8 Burst. This treatment uses fractional radiofrequency technology to deploy bipolar RF at different depths within the skin. The name “burst” comes from how this energy is sent at millisecond pulses. These bursts cause adipose tissue and dermal tissue to contract which leads to skin tightening.
What Are Bodytite/FaceTite Turbo Treatments?
BodyTite and FaceTite are minimally invasive liposuction treatments. The treatment works by inserting an applicator under the skin the is able to distribute radiofrequency even deeper than Morpheus8. The RF technology helps heat up and destroy fat cells. New from Inmode are both BodyTite Turbo and FaceTite Turbo. These treatments featured a new enhanced applicator that is able to deliver more power and lead to even faster results.
