As we age, the skin on our bellies starts to lose elasticity and sag. For many patients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, the loose skin around their belly can be especially troublesome. While there may or may not be much associated excess fat, the loose, crepey skin can make you feel self-conscious. If you’re looking for real skin tightening results without undergoing a more involved procedure like a mini or full tummy tuck, the combination of BodyTite and Morpheus 8 can provide the best alternative results.
How BodyTite and Morpheus 8 Work
BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and contour your skin from the inside out. In other words, it actually works underneath your skin! By inserting a small probe in strategic areas, we heat the deepest layers of your skin and soft tissue. It works really well in areas like your waist and belly. Many people struggle with unwanted belly fat and loose skin from pregnancy, weight changes, or age. BodyTite fortunately has the benefit of melting the unwanted fat and stimulating new collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. More collagen translates to tighter skin. Morpheus 8 is a novel fractional skin resurfacing treatment that is applied to the outside of your skin. Using microneedling technology, it creates microinjuries to your skin which signals your body to also produce new collagen and elastin. This leads to further tightening and smoothing of your skin’s texture.
Supercharge Your Skin Tightening Results
When BodyTite is paired with Morpheus 8, its industry-leading skin-tightening effects are supercharged. This is especially true for loose skin on the lower belly. In just one treatment, your belly can be noticeably lifted and tightened. The internal heating of BodyTite jumpstarts the rejuvenation process, while the Morpheus 8 further potentiates the results. As these are awake, in-office procedures, you will have much less downtime and recovery than a tummy tuck. The results can be dramatic but the final improvements take a few months to be fully realized. For anyone wanting a tight, toned belly without the risks and recovery of a more powerful tummy tuck, BodyTite, and Morpheus 8 are game-changing treatments. It is a great secondary option so contact our office to see if you may be a candidate for this alternative combo therapy.
