Morpheus8 Body in West Hollywood

Numbing cream goes on 30 to 45 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe a warm, prickling feeling and some pressure, and body skin often tolerates the treatment better than the face. Your provider checks in throughout and can adjust settings. If comfort is your main concern, ask about Morpheus8 Cool, which cools the skin during each pulse.

Insulated needles deliver radiofrequency energy beneath the surface. The heat contracts existing collagen and triggers new collagen and elastin, which tightens loose skin, and it can refine small pockets of stubborn fat in the layer beneath.

Skin type alone does not decide candidacy or remove risk, so bring your skin history to your consultation. Read the FDA safety information below.

CoolSculpting freezes fat but does not tighten skin. RF microneedling tightens skin and can refine small pockets of fat in the same visit. A tummy tuck removes excess skin surgically and suits larger amounts of loose skin. Your provider will tell you honestly which fits the result you want.
