Skin Spanx
WHAT it is:
Skin Spanx is a total skin tightening treatment. It combines Morpheus8, for microneedling and radiofrequency technology, and Botox, for its wrinkle and muscle relaxing capabilities to bring your skin back in time. Bonus: the combination of these two treatments will help in stopping hand and armpit sweating and relax the platysmal bands of the neck.
HOW it’s done:
Morpheus8:
It works by using a fractional device with programmable penetration depth and energy delivery for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and general skin tone. The 24 coated pins penetrate into the subdermal tissue, coagulating the fat and contracting connective tissue. Simultaneously, directional RF energy generates bulk sub-necrotic heating in the dermis.
Botox:
A small amount of the neuromodulator is injected directly into the underlying muscle, causing it to relax and gradually smooth out the appearance of the overlying skin.
WHAT to expect:
Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for
1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer.
Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are common post treatment and may last 1-3 days.
Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on treatment settings.
AWAKE or ASLEEP:
Stay awake with topical numbing.
RECOVERY, RESULTS & FREQUENCY:
1-2 days.
