Machines that tighten skin: Morpheus8, ProfoundRF, Ulthera, HIFU

Want to know more about machines that tighten the skin and claim to give a non-surgical facelift? I have been working with these technologies for over a decade and had quite a journey with the technology as it has evolved over that time. These are some of my thoughts on where we were, are and where we are heading in the future and most importantly how to get the best results! Enjoy!

Dr Darren is honest, isn’t he? Feels trustworthy and genuine 🙂

A great summary of the latest technologies!

Horrible music indeed

[@Claudia-ry3bt]

Outstanding video. Excellent info. There's so much hype about these devices, its difficult for a layperson to figure out what's what. Thank you

[@sharonscott8490]

Appreciate the straight forward information …..in the throws of making decisions…if ..but…your right so expensive for what seems to be little results Much appreciated

[@martinkorben]

Great info but try using a clip-on microphone ( and not adding background music. )

[@GS-ui6kl]

Thank you for your most informative and honest video. I live in Miami and searching for the right solution to my aging skin at 52 and this has provided me with some detailed knowledge. I want to proceed as natural as possible and that is not an easy task these days.

Fab video! Thank you very informative

[@hocusporeless1916]

So informative and honest, thank you! I just wish I had watched this video yesterday, as I just got thermage. Yes, it’s painful and I’m bummed to know it’s probably not going to give me the best results

[@smileawhile3788]

Have you noticed results? Although there might be newer technologies, I'm hoping you still are getting pleasing results

Hello Doctor.. Thanks for this informative summary? Can you do a video comparing Morpheus8 and threading results.. This video was great indeed in explaining the difference in the 4 lifting techniques u compared..

Excellent knowledge and presentation! Thank you told me what I needed re: Morpheus8 vs Profound. I feel the industry is on the brink of something amazing to come out very soon. Just dont know whether to wait or go for M8. Thank you lovely for your videos

[@whatever_it_takes6691]

What are your thoughts on Genius RF microneedling?

[@aeducator1]

Yes, the industry is. But it's not going to be inducing scar formation. It's going to be techniques that work with your skin, not against. it.

[@AMANDA-HOLLY]

@@whatever_it_takes6691 Hi I did reply but its not here? Ive since looked into Genius and it may be just the bit more precise in its delivery than M8 - see this link kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXmQoXiXdtasl7c Im in the UK so I cant find it here. So at the moment M8 seems to be the best option for me. As I am not convinced the more powerful one hit treatment by Profound is better? so possibly the M8 3 treatment is good for my fair skin, and allow the build up the repair time

[@lukuma79]

@@AMANDA-HOLLY hello honey, have you eventually gone with the M8 ? I am also I’m uk and was suggested I have Profound..

[@sylviaheinemann3314]

It was my experience too that RF Microneedling was not effective, neither HiFu or thermage. Good for my skin is face exercise. But it does not get rid of my jowls (after 12 years). So I am going for a small face lift.

[@silviap9875]

Thank you Dr Keown - very insightful info and well explained. Thank you so much. I would like to try Morpheus 8 - would you have this treatment before combining with fillers?

[@aeducator1]

What are your goals? We can answer better if we know.

[@spottedbybarbie]

[@AW-zu6fr]

I had 2 treatments of morpheus and was not impressed. I guess one technician can use the instrument better than another.

[@MrEtc31265]

Hello Doctor, great video. Have you used this on upper legs and the bottom? Thank you

[@michaelhilson3699]

Interestingly, the clinic no longer seems to offer this treatment.

What are your thoughts on Morpheus for tightening body skin ie: thighs. Ty

[@ibanez856]

This is your clinic? Wait how old are you? We’re gonna need to know more about what treatments you’ve been doing? 😊

[@lgwyatt2962]

I can't even focus on what he is saying because of that loud background music...darn it

[@papojaeger5483]

Hello, I have done secret RF. Is Morpheus better for skin tightening than secret RF? I don‘t have much fat on the face but sagging.

[@ambientweets8408]

Less music volume please!!!!!

[@britneylopez226]

which is best if I want skin tightened and don't want to lose fat or volume? I want to tighten skin on my arms and my stomach but do not want to lose volume. And can these be used on the chest?

[@joannechang4896]

So thermage actually don’t do anything?

[@randymurph]

Great information - horrible distracting background music. Get rid of it, it’s not needed

[@randyblake2006]

Stop the music, then we could hear you better.

I have a scar on my cheek which had 8 stitches years ago is there anything i could do to fix it ,When i smile it looks like I’m deformed .

[@DrDarrenMcKeown]

So, it may be possible to improve the contour with some filler injections! You can email the clinic with a picture and we will let you know if it might help in your case :)

Whats the difference between thermage flx 600 shots vs 900’shots for full face. I am just 34 yrs old looking for a slimmer face as preventation as well. You think thermage flx will not melt my fillers? I did fillers almost 5 months ago. Or morpheuse 8 or vivace is better?

Where is this doctor??

[@realyntadipa2751]

The music is distracting to listen

[@Yoursmores]

Will these treatments melt fillers?

[@dancingtreeyoga6028]

Yes don't do heat based technology on fillers Botox fine after 2weeks

[@Yoursmores]

@@dancingtreeyoga6028 thank you! 😊

[@raissakhoshbin-realtor7810]

Would any of those treatments interfere with Botox and fillers? I’m due for both but now wondering if I should hold on and do the skin tightening treatments first or if I can go ahead with the fillers and do the treatments after.

[@yogawithdenise]

Good question! What did you decide to do? I just had my first Sculptra treatment and was thinking of Morpheus8 in 3 weeks!?!?!

[@raissakhoshbin-realtor7810]

@@yogawithdenise I had my 1st Morpheus 2 weeks ago. Had to wait 2 weeks to do Botox, and then 2 weeks for the second Morpheus8. The filler were not recommended until I finish the sessions and wait 2 weeks. First session was a bit painful but tolerable. Haven’t seen any improvement in the skin tightening yet but Definitely a much better tone and even skin. Let’s see how the second and third goes because the skin tightening was my main goal for the treatment. How was yours?

[@yogawithdenise]

@@raissakhoshbin-realtor7810 I had my first treatment yesterday, looked plump, today I was bit soar in The morning but feeling better now! Sculptra is suppose to also help the tone of the skin as the collagen starts to repair to give a glow & help with large pores but it’s never just one treatment as u know if a few to get the whole look!!

[@kjay8069]

Who can use Morpheus 8? Is it a medical grade machine ? Thanks x

[@tamaratuominen9650]

This is just another confusing opinion. So many online so called doctors also warned against morpheus8.

[@bluestars8931]

It doesn't work

[@DrDarrenMcKeown]

I'm sorry to hear you had that experience with another clinic. Morpheus8 does work: but it needs to be used in the right patient, for the right indications, with the right expectations. It is NOT a replacement for a facelift, which is one of the biggest mistakes I see (people promoting Morpheus as a facelift alternative). It is rare to see no results on a patient with realistically managed expectations. If you were over-sold on the benefits of treatment, then I am very sorry for your experience! Best wishes
