What Is Morpheus8?
The skin relies on an essential protein called collagen to remain firm and supple. Unfortunately, our bodies produce less collagen over time, leading to skin sagging and the formation of wrinkles. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology to increase collagen production and reverse the effects of aging on the skin.
The microneedling process uses tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing processes. The body boosts collagen levels in the treatment areas, smoothing and tightening skin from the inside out. Morpheus8 adds gentle radiofrequency heating that penetrates deeply into the dermis, accelerating healing and maximizing collagen production for optimal results.
Benefits of Morpheus8
Morpheus8’s skin rejuvenation effects improve the appearance of numerous skin concerns, including:
- Sagging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scarring, including acne scarring
- Pigmentation irregularities
- Uneven skin texture
Morpheus8 can also be used on areas of the body to tighten and rejuvenate skin, such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs. In addition to its skin-tightening effects, Morpheus8 minimizes the appearance of cellulite and reduces unwanted fat in the treatment areas.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a safe treatment for all skin types and tones, including darker skin types. Candidates are usually seeking non-surgical treatments that target aging-related symptoms such as skin laxity and facial wrinkles. Treatment is also effective in reducing scars, including acne scars. The procedure is recommended for patients in generally good health who do not have active skin conditions or infections in the treatment area.
How Is Morpheus8 Performed?
First, we cleanse the skin and apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to keep you comfortable throughout your procedure. Next, the device is moved across the skin, using tiny gold-plated needles to create the microchannels that trigger collagen production. At the same time, RF heating is delivered into the microchannels to promote tissue tightening and remodeling.
Morpheus8 Recovery & Results
Morpheus8 treatments typically take up to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. Once you leave our office, you can return to work or resume regular activities immediately. Patients may experience some mild tenderness or swelling, but the side effects are generally mild and short-lived. Patients who receive deeper treatments may require a couple of days of social downtime to allow redness and swelling to subside.
Morpheus8 produces transformative results, but the improvements develop gradually as the collagen levels build and the skin becomes smoother and firmer. Some patients require a series of treatment sessions to achieve an optimal outcome, which can be long-lasting.
