Deep Tissue Remodeling
While many non-surgical devices only treat the surface, Morpheus8 is different. It is the first and only device that can penetrate up to 8mm deep into the subdermal tissue.
This deep reach allows us to do two things simultaneously:
Melt Sub-dermal Fat: The radiofrequency heat targets stubborn pockets of fat just under the skin.
Tighten the Fibro-Septal Network: It contracts the connective tissue holding your skin to your body, resulting in a tighter, "snapped-back" appearance.
Why Dr. Bravo Recommends It
As a surgeon, I am selective about non-surgical tools. I use Morpheus8 because it is scientifically proven to remodel tissue. I frequently recommend it for:
1. The "Mommy Tummy" (Mild) For women who have loose, crinkly skin around the belly button but not enough hanging skin to justify a tummy tuck scar, Morpheus8 is the perfect bridge solution.
2. Cellulite & Thighs By targeting the deep layers where cellulite forms, we can smooth the dimples and tighten the skin above the knees—an area that is notoriously difficult to treat surgically.
3. Refining Surgical Results I often use Morpheus8 on my surgical patients 6 months after Liposuction or Body Lift to treat any residual irregularities, fibrosis, or minor laxity. It acts as the "polish" on your surgical result.
The Protocol
Sessions: For best results, a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended.
Maintenance: A single maintenance session once a year helps preserve the collagen boost.
Recovery
Visuals: You will leave the clinic with red, warm skin (similar to a sunburn).
Healing: Tiny micro-crusts may form after 24 hours (the "grid" marks). These flake off naturally within a few days.
Downtime: There is no restriction on movement. You can return to work the next day, though you should keep the area moisturized and protected from the sun.
