Morpheus8®

Why do we sometimes look older than we feel? Because collagen production slows down as we age. Some people are genetically blessed, and the decline in collagen production doesn’t begin until later in life, while others have to deal with the loss of skin elasticity early on—their eyebrows droop, and wrinkles form on their face and décolletage.

Morpheus 8 Procedure

Morpheus 8® is a treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. In this procedure, known as deep needling, special needles that emit a radiofrequency heat pulse are inserted deep into the skin. This intensive yet gentle treatment allows collagen fibers to contract more effectively, successfully reducing sagging skin and fine lines. It uses tiny needles that penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy deep into the underlying tissue. This combination stimulates collagen and elastin production, thereby promoting skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Areas of Treatment

Morpheus 8® can be used on various areas of the face and body, including the face, neck, cheeks, abdomen, arms, thighs, and knees. It is often used to treat issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin texture, and sagging skin.

Advantages

Treatment with offers several benefits, including skin tightening, improved skin texture, a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, a reduction in acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation. It can also be adapted to address specific concerns and tailored to individual needs.

Rest and Downtime

After a Morpheus 8® treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and pinpoint bleeding at the treatment site, similar to other microneedling procedures. These effects usually subside within a few days. Downtime is generally minimal, and most people can resume their normal activities shortly after treatment.

Results

The full results of Morpheus 8® treatments develop gradually as the body’s natural collagen remodeling process takes place. Many patients notice an improvement in the texture and appearance of their skin within a few weeks of treatment. Optimal results are typically achieved after a series of treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Risks

Morpheus 8® treatments are generally considered safe and carry a low risk of complications when performed by qualified professionals. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects that you should be aware of.

After treatment, temporary redness and swelling may occur at the treated site. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within a few days.

Localized Bleeding and Bruising: The microneedles used in Morpheus 8® treatments create tiny punctures in the skin, which may result in minimal localized bleeding or bruising. These effects are usually mild and subside quickly.

Discomfort or pain: Discomfort or mild pain may occur during treatment. However, a topical anesthetic is usually applied to the skin before the procedure to minimize any discomfort.

Infection: Although rare, there is a small risk of infection following treatment. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions for aftercare to reduce the risk of infection.
