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.

Ellacor is fits into the spectrum of skin tightening devices by its unique method of skin removal. Unlike traditional microneedling, which solely punctures the skin to stimulate healing, Ellacor actually extracts small columns of skin. This process targets areas of excess skin effectively, making it an appealing option for patients who wish to avoid or postpone surgical interventions.
Ellacor is also a great treatment for individuals who have previously undergone surgery, but are left with lingering sagging or excess skin, Ellacor offers a non-invasive solution that enhances their results without the need for more invasive procedures.
This versatile treatment can be applied to multiple areas of both the face and body, allowing for tailored skin tightening solutions that address specific patient concerns. As a result, Ellacor serves as a compelling alternative to traditional surgical methods, providing a way to achieve firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime and discomfort.
One-Month Follow-Up Microliposuction Under the Chin: Subtle but Stunning Results
We are here at a one-month follow-up for a microliposuction procedure under the chin. This is a minimally invasive procedure targets stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise, delivering subtle but noticeable results. This patient had a quick recovery, minimal swelling, and the procedure enhances the profile silhouette. MicroLiposuction with FaceTite provides ideal skin tightening for localized fat removal.

Bra fat and back laxity are common concerns, especially for middle-aged patients. While traditional back tuck procedures can require extended scars and significant downtime, there are now minimally invasive options that can achieve dramatic improvement.
Using microliposuction, we can precisely remove small pockets of fat that accumulate along the bra line and upper back. This technique is often combined with advanced energy-based technologies like BodyTite and VASER, which help tighten the skin while improving contour and definition.
The result is a smoother back profile, reduced bulging around the bra line, and improved skin firmness without the need for large surgical scars. Treatment is customized for each patient based on the degree of fat and skin laxity, often allowing meaningful improvement with a minimally invasive approach and a relatively quick recovery.
Inner arm laxity and crepiness can be some of the most stubborn signs of aging, but Ellacor offers a scarless, next-generation solution.
Unlike microneedling, which only punctures the skin to trigger healing, Ellacor uses fractional micro-coring technology to remove thousands of tiny columns of excess skin. By physically removing small amounts of skin rather than simply stimulating it, the treatment allows the surrounding tissue to naturally contract and tighten as it heals.
This innovative approach directly addresses areas of excess or sagging skin, making it ideal for patients who want to avoid or postpone surgery. Over the following weeks and months, the skin continues to remodel and produce new collagen, leading to gradual improvement in tightness, texture, and crepiness.
Ellacor can be used on areas like the inner arms, lower face, jawline, and under the chin, and treatments are typically performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime compared to surgical skin tightening.

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.

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.
