What is Morpheus8?
Morheus8 is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure renowned for its ability to effectively combat the signs of aging. The treatment combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production for revitalized, younger-looking skin.
Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin tones and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and abdomen areas.
Which Cosmetic Concerns Can Morpheus8 Treat?
Morpheus8 can address a range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne
- Large pores
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
- Dull complexion
- Lax or loose skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin texture
- Wrinkles, lines, and creases
- Acne, post-surgery, and injury scars
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 leverages two proven skin rejuvenating technologies: microneedling and RF energy. Both work in perfect synergy to deliver maximum results.
The synergistic effect of microneedling and RF energy offers unparalleled improvements in skin firmness, tone, and texture without surgery.
What is the Role of Microneedling in Morpheus8?
Microneedling involves using customizable needles, making Morpheous8 ideal not only for large treatment areas but also for smaller, more delicate sections requiring greater precision. The ultrafine needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin at customized depths, activating the body’s natural healing process.
This healing process results in the increased production of collagen and elastin, which naturally reduce with age. With age, skin loses elasticity as elastin and collagen levels diminish, leading to the development of wrinkles, lines, and other signs of aging.
The boost in elastin and collagen production smooths and firms the skin, making it appear more refreshed and youthful.
What is the Role of RF Energy in Morpheus8?
At the same time, microneedling creates micro-sized channels that effectively deliver RF energy deeper into the skin, precisely targeting the layers where elastin and collagen are present. RF energy heat prompts the production of new collagen and elastin.
Elastin and collagen are crucial for skin elasticity and firmness. The new collagen and elastin slowly replace old, damaged collagen and elastin, further enhancing skin texture, suppleness, and tightness.
Additionally, RF energy heat tightens and contracts existing collagen fibers, encouraging tighter, smoother skin. The dual action of micro-needling and RF energy ensures that the surface and deeper layers of the skin are treated, leading to comprehensive, lasting skin rejuvenation.
How is Morpheus8 Performed?
Morpheus8 is an in-office procedure that starts with the application of a topical anesthetic to the treatment areas. The numbing medicine prevents any pain and discomfort during the procedure.
Once the topical anesthetic takes effect, the provider administers the Morpheu8 device to the skin. One to three passes are conducted, each pass allowing the microneedles to penetrate the skin and the application of RF energy.
Treatment can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour. Optimal results with Morpheus8 are best attained through a series of treatments.
Most people need three treatment sessions to achieve the desired results.
How Long Does Morpheus8 Take to Work?
Most people begin seeing Morpheus8’s results within a few days, but it typically takes 3 to 4 weeks to observe the full results.
