The Dual-Wavelength Subdermal Laser for Skin Laxity, Fat, or Both
Junera is a next-generation subdermal laser platform that treats skin laxity, unwanted fat, or both in a single in-office session. FDA-cleared and precision-controlled, it gives patients a customizable path to firmer, more contoured results without surgery.
Junera is a subdermal fiber laser system built around two distinct wavelengths (980nm and 1470nm) delivered through a thin optical fiber placed just beneath the skin. Each wavelength is absorbed differently by tissue:
Because the fiber operates below the skin's surface, Junera can treat both structural layers — skin and fat — in the same session, using the same small entry point. The platform holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K212734), and its manufacturer, Onyxa Medical, designed it specifically to give providers precise control over depth, temperature, and energy delivery throughout treatment.
At Morgenstern Medical, we evaluate every new technology against one standard: does it give our patients a real, measurable option between over-the-counter treatments and surgery? Junera met that bar. Dr. Kenneth Morgenstern and our medical aesthetic team added it to our menu of laser treatments because it addresses two of the most common concerns we hear in consultation — sagging skin and stubborn fat — with a single device, rather than requiring patients to choose between separate technologies. As with every treatment we offer, Junera is administered under the guidance of real doctors and real nurses who understand facial and body anatomy at a surgical level, not just a cosmetic one.
Junera tends to be a good fit for patients who:
The best way to know whether Junera is right for you is a consultation with our team, where we can assess your skin quality, fat distribution, and goals in person.
Junera is a precision instrument, and results depend heavily on the provider delivering the treatment. Dr. Kenneth Morgenstern brings over 20 years of experience as a board-certified surgeon with fellowship training through the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery — training that gives him a detailed understanding of facial anatomy most laser providers don't have. Our medical aesthetic team of doctors, nurses, PA’s, and aestheticians work alongside Dr. Morgenstern so if your goals ever extend beyond what a laser treatment can achieve, you have direct access to the entire team of options to help you reach your goals. Every Junera consultation at our Wayne, Bala Cynwyd and Lancaster locations includes an honest assessment of whether the device — or a different treatment entirely — is the right tool for your goals.
Junera isn't a replacement for every treatment we offer — it's another tool that lets us match the right technology to the right patient. Compared to Profound RF, which uses radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen from within the dermis, Junera works through a subdermal fiber and can also address fat directly, making it a good option for patients whose concerns include both laxity and volume. For patients with more advanced skin laxity or excess skin that a laser-based treatment can't fully correct, a surgical option such as a facelift or neck lift may be a better long-term solution. Part of your consultation will include an honest conversation about where Junera fits among these options for your specific goals.

Can Junera Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Many patients see meaningful results from a single session, though your provider may recommend a follow-up treatment depending on your goals and how your skin responds.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well under local anesthesia. Some warmth or pressure is normal during treatment.
As with any energy-based treatment, temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, or numbness at the entry point are possible. Your provider will review your full risk profile during consultation.
Junera treats skin and fat using laser energy delivered beneath the skin, without incisions or general anesthesia. It's designed for patients with mild to moderate concerns; more advanced laxity or excess skin may still require a surgical approach for optimal results.
Yes. Many patients pair Junera with other medical spa or surgical treatments as part of a broader treatment plan. Your provider can help determine the right combination and sequencing.
Dr. Morgenstern and our staff dedicate time to thoroughly understanding your vision during your consultation. It is important to us that all your questions are answered so we can ensure a personalized approach to natural-looking results. We look forward to guiding you on your journey to enhanced confidence and beauty.
