With the popularity of energy delivered microneedling device’s ability to stimulate proteins like collagen and elastin on the face and neck, their regenerative capabilities are now being offered all over the body with the evolution of our gold standard technologies. At PFRANKMD, we offer Virtue RF, Vivace, and Morpheus 8 devices – each with their own unique applications to suit each patient’s various needs throughout the face and body.
MORPHEUS8
While microneedling on the face is great for collagen stimulation, fine lines, texture, and acne scars, body microneedling addresses deeper concerns of cellulite, skin tightening, stretch-marks, and scars. The newer platforms, Virtue RF Deep and Morpheus 8 Body target large treatment areas in a short period of time after application of topical anesthesia. These new platforms are adjustable and customizable for skin type, depth of concern, area on the body, and patient comfort.
Standard microneedling on the face can reach a depth of 3.5mm, whereas body microneedling can achieve a depth of up to 7mm deep. Under topical anesthesia, Virtue RF Deep treatments are often performed in a series of 3 monthly treatments each with a few days of redness as downtime. Combined with other technologies such as ultherapy, BBL hero, Fraxel and EMSCULPT and EMTONE, we can curate and synergize outcomes of non-invasive treatments with various clinical desires.
Morpheus 8 Body microneedling is also a great addition to minimally invasive surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia such as microcannular liposuction. With injected anesthesia allowing for more aggressive and more effective treatments, devices such as Morpheus 8 Body are performed for additional skin tightening, texture, and laxity.
Areas commonly treated include abdomen for loose crepey skin post-pregnancy or weight loss, above the knees for fine lines and laxity, thighs for cellulite, and inner arms for crepey, textural concerns.
A consultation with one of our aesthetic healthcare professionals will determine which technology is ideal for you.

This man wanted to enhance his jawline and improve the lack of definition and fullness under his neck. We used a combination of ultrasound-assisted microliposuction to melt fat, along with advanced radiofrequency skin tightening using FaceTite and surgical microneedling. Our goal was to achieve a natural yet significant improvement in her jawline and neck contour, while improving her skin tightness. All of this was accomplished with minimal downtime and without the need for major surgery.

Treat your post-surgery scars with a comprehensive, customized approach. In the before and after seen here, we addressed scarring following a breast lift to reduce pigment and improve texture for a more seamless finish. Scar correction can begin as early as four weeks post-op, and the sooner treatment begins, the better the outcome.
At PFRANKMD, we use a variety of advanced modalities including Miria, pigment-targeting lasers, and microneedling. Treatment is always customized based on your skin type, scar location, and healing progress. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to your skin.
The results shown here are after just one treatment. This patient will continue monthly sessions until the scar is fully resolved.

Tired of wrinkly skin on the knees? Over time as we loose volume in our knees, the skin starts to sag. A solution to add volume back into this area is the PFRANKMD Biostim Treatments.
Biostimulatory fillers help soften the appearance of fine lines and give your knees a more youthful appearance. Consider adding energy delivered microneedling on top for added skin tightening!

One of the most common and problematic areas to treat on the face is the zygomatic fat pad. This is the region between the lower eyelid and the cheekbone.
This area is generally unreachable by surgical intervention and we want to avoid injectables in that region because they can potentially make the area protrude out more.
In the past, we have attempted several treatments of microneedling and heat based devices to improve the area, with limited success.
Through the use of fractional micro-coring, we are able extract portions of the skin minimally invasively, with more effectiveness and less scarring.
We are continuing to see incredible results with the Ellacor technology, any part of the face and body, including severe wrinkles in the mid to lower face, jowls, the area under the neck, the abdomen, elbows, and knees.

Choosing the Right Skin Tightening Procedure
When it comes to sculpting your midsection, the decision between BodyTite and a tummy tuck depends on your unique goals, skin quality, and anatomy.
BodyTite, a minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy, is ideal for patients who have experienced a moderate amount of weight loss and still have good skin elasticity. When combined with tumescent microcannula liposuction, BodyTite can effectively reduce fat and tighten skin—all performed under local anesthesia using the same small incisions for both techniques.
On the other hand, a tummy tuck is a more comprehensive surgical procedure. It’s best suited for patients with significant excess skin, stretched or separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and more dramatic body contouring needs. This surgery removes excess fat and skin while also tightening the underlying muscles for a flatter, firmer result.
Generally, younger patients with localized fat deposits and minimal skin laxity are better candidates for BodyTite, while those with more advanced concerns benefit from the transformative results of a tummy tuck.
Still unsure which option is right for you?

Here, we are using the BodyTite procedure to target the outer thigh area (and it can also be used on other areas like the abdomen, arms, and bra fat) to tighten skin, remove fat, and enhance skin texture, all under local anesthesia. BodyTite utilizes a dual approach: a thin probe placed beneath the skin paired with an above-skin handpiece, both delivering bipolar, directional RF energy to the connective tissues, causing them to contract and shrink. Often paired with liposuction, BodyTite uses the same incisions, numbing solution, and anesthesia for an efficient, effective treatment.

This is one week after body contouring with microlipo to the outer thighs. To achieve these results, we combined: BodyTite for precise contouring, Morpheus8 surgical microneedling to enhance skin texture, and VASER ultrasound technology to selectively target and melt stubborn fat. After just 7 days, the outer thighs appear significantly smoother and more contoured, with minimal bruising and discomfort, which is a notable advantage.
Stitches are not needed following the mircolipo procedure and a compression garment is provided for the patient to wear along with bandages to help absorb any excess fluid, effectively minimizing recovery time and enhancing overall outcomes.
MicroLiposuction, a central aspect of this procedure, involves infusing a specially formulated fluid that not only swells the targeted area, but also acts as an anesthetic. This significantly improves the efficiency of fat removal and enhances patient comfort throughout the process.
Overall results are encouraging, and improvements will continue to enhance over 1 to 6 months following treatment. However, the early improvements highlight the remarkable advantages gained from utilizing these advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology.

MicroLipo is about precision. It allows us to selectively remove stubborn fat while preserving natural contours and proportions of the arm.
In these cases, the results are not about aggressive fat removal or chasing an overly thin look. The goal is balance and refinement.
By combining MicroLipo with surgical microneedling, we are able to address both shape and skin quality. Fat is carefully sculpted, while microneedling stimulates collagen to improve texture, firmness, and overall smoothness.
The outcome is arms that look more defined, smoother, and naturally proportionate to the body.

On this Derm Couch, I discuss the FaceTite procedure, a minimally invasive treatment that uses radio frequency and ultrasound technology to reduce neck fat and tighten skin. It’s an excellent option for people in their late 30s to early 50s who want surgical-like results without full surgery, offering a ‘bridge’ approach to cosmetic enhancement.
