How Morpheus8 treatment shrinks stubborn inner thigh fat, tightens skin without surgery
The inner thighs are a common “trouble spot.” But they are no match for the non-surgical Morpheu8 system. When in our highly skilled hands at Kirwan Plastic Surgery in Norwalk, Connecticut, the Morpheus8 effectively and safely contours even the most stubborn fat pockets.
Why is inner thigh fat so hard to shrink?
Excess fat on the inner thighs can be challenging to reduce on your own, without professional treatment, as it is often associated with genetic factors, aging, and hormonal changes. While weight gain and a lack of physical activity can contribute, inner thigh fat may not look and feel better even with a good diet and regular exercise due to changes that occur deep within the skin and in how fat is distributed as we age. For instance, the loss of collagen and elastin can contribute to loose skin on the inner thighs, and hormonal imbalances, such as those in estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol, can result in fat accumulation in this area.
How does Morpheus8 effectively treat the inner thighs?
Morpheus8 combines the power of microneedling with the power of Radiofrequency energy. The microneedling part refers to the process of applying a device to the inner thighs. This special device is equipped with many fine, sterile needles. These needles are used to make controlled, microscopic perforations. Microneedling on its own encourages healing and the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. However, when we apply RF energy through these microscopic channels (like we do with the Morpheus8), we can take your results to new heights. RF microneedling with the Morpheus8:
- Heats the underlying “subdermal” tissue.
- Controlled heating stimulates the production of collagen and elastin – natural proteins that support skin firmness and elasticity.
- As more collagen and elastin are made, you will gradually notice tighter, firmer skin in the inner thigh area.
- The RF energy also “melts” fat underneath the surface (subdermal adipose tissue) in a gentle manner.
- RF energy works synergistically with microneedling, as the latter technique is particularly good at renewing the skin for the smoothest, most well-defined contours and overall appearance.
- This unique combination of two proven techniques also improves the appearance of the orange peel texture or cellulite, thanks to its skin-renewing and tightening qualities.

Can you treat multiple areas during my appointment?
Certainly! If you have other stubborn trouble spots, we can address those areas in a single session. So, Morpheus8 treatment is fast and convenient. In fact, we offer both the standard Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Body. The former treatment option is best for smaller, more delicate areas (such as the neck and face). Morpheus8 Body involves using a larger applicator to facilitate microneedling and deliver RF. It also penetrates more deeply, making this treatment option appropriate for bigger areas that require deeper penetration and remodeling (such as the abdomen, buttocks, knees, and upper arms).
