Not at all! There is no age at which fibroblast skin cells stop responding to injury, though they may take longer to do so. Older skin will have more collagen loss, which will also potentially impact the number of treatments you will need to achieve your desired result. For those who are younger, starting collagen stimulating procedures early will help protect the collagen you have and restore what you would have otherwise lost due to the ageing process. 

We offer free consultations for exactly this reason! We will help you sort through and prioritize your concerns and goals, your personal preferences, your tolerance for downtime, and how soon you need to see results in order to help guide you towards the procedure(s) most likely to give you the “Wow” results you are looking for. We offer both comprehensive ‘head to toe’ consultations, or you may opt for a more limited consultation specific to a particular region or concern. 

This really requires an assessment of your particular anatomy. We will examine the degree of skin laxity and textural issues and whether there is unwanted fat in the region such as under the chin or at the jawline/jowl zones. Sofwave is great at smoothing and tightening but it cannot affect the fat, whereas Morpheus 8 and Precision Tx with or without targeted liposuction will address the fat cells. Sometimes, the degree of looseness is such hat it calls for a minimally invasive tightening procedure where the doctor uses a thin laser or RF probe under the skin to perform a deeper internal tightening. We do not perform surgery, but the breadth of technology we have at Renew allows us the opportunity to get the beautiful outcomes you see in our photos! A free consultation is your best plan to understand which options would have the highest liklihood of success for you. 

Morpheus8 is a procedure which delivers heat to the deeper skin structures through specialized micropins. It can be used on nearly any body area and can additionally be used to remodel (dissolve) targeted areas of unwanted fat cells. Heat can be delivered up to 8 mm in depth depending on the body region being treated. Due to the microneedling component and the amount of energy delivered, there will be some variable downtime with Morpheus8 procedures.

Sofwave is a completely non-invasive treatment which does not involve needles and also, notably, does NOT have any downtime. It delivers heat that is generated by concentrated ultrasound waves, but that heat goes to a single depth of 1.5 mm. It is a powerful smoothing and tightening device, with 7 FDA indications and great results as you can see from our before and after photos. Both Sofwave and Morpheus8 are recommended to be done more than once in order to achieve the desired results, unless you are doing them “preventatively” or as a maintenance procedure. Both of these services are safe for darker skin types.  We are happy to consult with you to help you create the treatment plan best suited to your needs.

It is not feasible to list all of the costs of all of the various procedures available for body contouring at Renew. We would need to determine which procedure or procedure combinations you desire, and on which body region. We are happy to provide pricing information in person or by phone if you have a specific procedure in mind, or at the time of a consultation if you are considering multiple treatment options. 

Yes, unwanted fat cells regions can be remodeled with Morpheus8 Body. The provider will select the appropriate depths for heat delivery which will dissolve some of the unwanted fat cells in the treatment zone, while simultaneously smoothing and tightening the skin. There is little to no downtime with this procedure, and it is suitable for small to medium collections of unwanted fat as listed above. The dissolved fat is metabolized away by your body over the course of several months. For larger volume fat removal, liposuction is still the gold standard treatment but can also be combined with our surface skin tightening procedures to achieve the absolute best aesthetic outcome. So, if we are doing a large region such as “Full abdomen and waist”, we would schedule that as a SmartLipo procedure which would include fat removal by liposuction in addition to our advanced skin smoothing and tightening steps!
