Morpheus8® for Thighs and Buttocks: Cellulite’s Worst Enemy

If you’ve been battling cellulite and feel like nothing works, you’re not alone. Cellulite is a powerful foe. At-home approaches like creams and massages promise smooth skin but rarely deliver lasting results. That’s why we offer a better way at Living Water Vein Institute & Medical Spa in Abingdon, VA. Dr. John Berry and our talented team of medical aesthetics experts love Morpheus8® because it’s a best-in-class treatment using microneedling and radiofrequency energy to target cellulite where it starts—deep under the skin.

How Cellulite Develops

Cellulite forms when fat pushes up against the skin while the connective tissue simultaneously pulls down, creating a dimpled “orange peel” effect.

Women are prone to cellulite because their connective tissue has a vertical pattern, allowing fat cells to protrude through that tissue and cause unwanted dimples and bumps. In addition, women tend to have more fat in the main areas where cellulite develops: The thighs and butt.

However, there’s good news too: If you hate your cellulite, you can beat it with Morpheus8.

How Morpheus8 Beats Butt and Thigh Cellulite

Morpheus8 sends radiofrequency (RF) energy directly into deeper skin layers through tiny microneedles.

The microneedles trigger a skin repair process within the dermis, the layer of skin where you produce collagen and elastin. This prompts your body to make new collagen and elastin. The collagen helps fill the dimpled areas, while the elastin promotes tighter, more elastic skin.

Adding RF energy powers up that process, leading to faster and more effective cellular turnover and improved collagen and elastin production.

Morpheus8 also reaches the hypodermis, where your body stores fat and connective tissue. The combination of the tiny needles and RF energy may help shrink unwanted fat cells, contributing to your skin’s overall smoothness, tightness, and firmness.

The result? Skin that feels firmer, tighter, and more even—especially on the thighs and buttocks, where cellulite tends to be the most noticeable.

What to Expect During Treatment

Treatments are 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most patients find treatment comfortable with topical numbing and return to normal activities quickly.

We recommend a series of treatments tailored to your personal goals and cellulite severity, around four to six weeks apart.
