MORPHEUS8

How Does Morpheus8 Work?

Morpheus8 combines microneedling and radiofrequency technology to tighten and reshape your skin. It also promotes collagen and elastin production through directional heating.

Tiny needles penetrate the surface layers of the skin to reach the subdermal layer. The device emits heat from radiofrequency waves that penetrate deeper skin layers, resulting in a tightening of the underlying fat and skin.

The heat energy produces a restructuring of deep dermal layers to reduce sagging skin, leading to a smoother skin appearance and better contours in areas such as the chin, jawline, and neck.

Advantages of Morpheus8

• Non-invasive procedure.
• Considerably milder compared to surgical procedures
• Minimal downtime
• Can be used for all skin types

Morpheus8 FAQs

• What is Morpheus 8?

  • Morpheus8 is a microneedling device, but unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 penetrates the deeper layers of the skin. Morpheus8 merges two clinically-proven treatments (microneedling and minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment) to activate collagen and elastin production, tighten fibers, and contour fat. Minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency technology penetrates the skin deeper to trigger the skin's natural healing response and promote skin tightening and lifting. The depth of the radiofrequency heat is customized to reach different depths of your dermal layers (superficial, intermediate, deep) to create a personalized treatment plan to target your specific skin concerns.

    The device treats the skin and subdermal layer of the skin and fat to stimulate collagen production while tightening the skin and reducing volume by melting fat. At the same time, radiofrequency stimulates collagen production to tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face and body. As a result, Morpheus8 can be used just about anywhere on the body, including the thighs and buttocks, though the most commonly treated areas include the face, jowls, neck, jawline, and abdomen.

• What is Fractionated RF Energy?

  • Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven way to diminish wrinkles. Morpheus8 uses a matrix of micro-pins to resurface and restore the skin. The unique benefit of Morpheus8 is that the treatment can be applied to depths up to 4 mm, with thermal effects extending up to 5 mm for strategic fat reduction. This type of fractional treatment leaves you with a more youthful appearance and healthy-looking skin.

• What Happens During Morpheus8 Treatment?

  • The procedure is relatively painless and only takes 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. To ensure you're comfortable, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area.

    The Morpheus8 handpiece stamps the areas of concern allowing the needles to puncture below the skin's surface and deliver the radiofrequency energy. You might feel a minor prickling sensation and warmth as the device passes over your skin. After treatment, the skin is cleaned, and a layer of antibiotic cream is applied to the treatment areas.

    Morpheus8 can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, including liposuction, fillers, FaceTite, AccuTite, or other contouring procedures.

• What is Recovery Like After Treatment?

  • Morpheus8 is a non-invasive procedure, meaning there's no actual downtime. Some side effects may include redness, itchiness, and swelling but should subside within one to three days. Most people can return to work and regular activities the day after treatment.

    You will need to avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks post-procedure to prevent the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A heavy-duty moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 are recommended.

• Who's a good candidate for Morpheus8?

  • If you are looking to reduce the signs of aging without undergoing invasive plastic surgery, Morpheus8 might be right for you.

    Morpheus8 Skin Tightening may be used on all areas of the face and body. Morpheus8 resurfacing is a safe option for people with all skin types and skin tones. There is little to zero risk of hyperpigmentation or skin discoloration. Treatments address a broad range of skin concerns like uneven texture, sun damage, acne scars, or sagging skin to leave you with clearer, brighter, more evenly toned skin post-treatment. Your dermatology provider will select the safest needle type for your skin tone. Microneedles target the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the skin's surface.

• How Soon Will You See Morpheus8 Results?

  • Your skin is unique, and the result times will vary from patient to patient. In general, you should be able to see results within a few days of your initial treatment and some skin tightening within three weeks to one month. You may continue to see improvements like softening of lines and improvement in acne scarring months after as new collagen develops. Continue with your regular skincare routine to keep the skin supple and hydrated.

    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.
