In the realm of non-invasive aesthetic treatments, Morpheus8 is a highly effective treatment that has been proven to improve texture, tone, and tightness. If you’re looking to enhance your complexion, reduce signs of aging, or tackle stubborn areas of fat, Morpheus8 might just be the solution you’ve been searching for. Let’s delve into what Morpheus8 is, how it works, and who is a good candidate for this innovative treatment.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF). It can be used almost anywhere on your body and most commonly used to treat the face, neck, and abdomen. This powerful duo targets deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve overall texture. By using tiny needles to deliver RF energy beneath the skin's surface, Morpheus8 effectively addresses a range of aesthetic concerns without the need for invasive surgery. One of Morpheus8’s most notable benefits is that it works well with all skin tones and has little risk of hyperpigmentation. Where some cosmetic treatments are recommended only for lighter skin (Fitzpatrick Scale 1-4), Morpheus8 works equally well with light and dark skin tones.
Morpheus8 is an FDA-approved skin treatment method that combines two proven technologies:
Radiofrequency (RF) treatment — uses controlled heat to tighten lax skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Microneedling — uses fine needles to prick the skin and stimulate new tissue growth, smoothing, firming, and evening complexion and minimizing scars and wrinkles
The combination of these two technologies allows Morpheus8 to target specific layers of the skin, making it effective for both superficial and deeper issues.
What Can Morpheus8 Treat?
Morpheus8 is versatile and can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, Morpheus8 helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Skin Laxity: Morpheus8 tightens and lifts sagging skin, making it ideal for treating areas with mild to moderate skin laxity. It's very popular to use this treatment to target the face, jowls, jawline, and neck.
Acne Scarring: Morpheus8 is a sub-dermal adipose remodeling device that uses fractional RF technology to improve the appearance of scars. According to clinical studies, Morpheus8 can help improve the look of acne scars by up to 50 per cent with just one treatment by promoting collagen remodeling and smoothing out the skin’s surface.
Uneven Skin Texture: Stimulating Collagen Production - Morpheus8’s microneedling component creates tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates the production of collagen, a protein responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity and firmness. As collagen levels increase, the skin becomes smoother and more supple.
Remodeling Skin Tissue: The radiofrequency energy emitted by Morpheus8 penetrates deep into the skin, heating the underlying tissue. This heat promotes the remodeling of skin tissue, which can help to smooth out uneven skin texture, such as acne scars or stretch marks.
Reducing the Appearance of Pores: Morpheus8’s dual-action approach of microneedling and radiofrequency can help to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. As collagen production increases and skin tissue is remodeled, pores become less visible, resulting in a more refined and even complexion. Morpheus8 enhances overall skin texture, making it look more even and refined.
Fat Reduction: It can target specific areas of unwanted fat, particularly in the face and neck, leading to a more contoured appearance. The RF energy increases the temperature of fat cells, potentially causing some fat reduction.
Who is a Good Candidate for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a flexible treatment suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, but certain factors make some individuals more ideal candidates:
Adults of All Ages: Whether you are in your 20's or your 60's, the Morpheus8 treatment can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Those Looking for Non-Surgical Solutions: If you prefer a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime, Morpheus8 is an excellent option. It offers many of the benefits of more invasive procedures without the need for surgery.
Good Overall Health: Ideal candidates are generally in good health and have realistic expectations about the results. As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to have a consultation with a qualified provider to determine if Morpheus8 is right for you.
What to Expect During and After the Treatment
The Morpheus8 procedure is typically performed in a clinical setting and involves minimal discomfort. You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream to numb the area and minimize discomfort. Other pain-control options are available including ProNox (laughing gas). The treatment usually lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Post-treatment: you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort (similar to a sunburn) which usually subsides within a few days. Many people can return to their regular activities immediately, although it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a short period.
You may need multiple treatments spaced out 4 to 6 weeks apart for the best results. There is no limit on how many treatments you can have; however, most patients achieve their ideal results in as little as three treatments. You'll notice the final results of Morpheus8 around three months after your final session. Skin-tightening results can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years.
