MORPHEUS8
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that combines microneedling with controlled RF energy delivered beneath the skin. It is designed to stimulate collagen remodeling and can also target deeper layers of skin and fat to improve skin firmness, texture, and contour.
What does Morpheus8 treat?
Morpheus8 can help improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, uneven skin texture, and acne scars. Because it can treat both superficial and deeper layers of tissue, it may also be used for contouring and skin tightening in selected areas of the face and body.
What areas can be treated with Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 can be used on areas including the face, neck, chest, abdomen, and thighs. The appropriate treatment area and settings depend on your individual anatomy, skin condition, and treatment goals.
Is Morpheus8 safe for all skin tones?
Morpheus8 can be used across a wide range of skin tones. Your skin type and individual characteristics will be evaluated before treatment so that the appropriate settings can be selected for you.
How does Morpheus8 work?
Morpheus8 uses tiny microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the skin and underlying tissue. The controlled energy stimulates collagen remodeling and can help improve skin firmness, texture, and contour. When appropriate, the treatment can also target subdermal fat to help reduce small areas of unwanted fat and further enhance skin tightening and contouring. Treatment depth and energy settings are customized based on the treatment area and your individual goals.
Is Morpheus8 painful?
Before your treatment, a strong topical numbing agent is applied to maximize your comfort. Injectable lidocaine is also used for further numbing when needed. With proper numbing, there should be minimal discomfort during the procedure. Nitrous Oxide Pain Relief is also available for an additional charge for patients who would like additional comfort.
How long does a Morpheus8 treatment take?
Treatment typically takes approximately 10–30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Numbing time is usually 30 to 45 minutes.
What is recovery like after Morpheus8?
After treatment, your skin will typically appear slightly pink, similar to a mild sunburn. The pinkness may remain for several days depending on the amount of heat used and your individual skin sensitivity.
After 18 hours, you may wear makeup to camouflage any remaining redness or visible signs of treatment. You should use a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen after the 18-hour period and continue doing so for at least two weeks.
When can I resume my normal skincare products?
Other skincare products, including retinols, can generally be restarted one week after each Morpheus8 treatment. Your specific post-treatment skincare instructions will be reviewed with you after your treatment.
When will I see results from Morpheus8?
Some patients begin to notice visible improvement within days of treatment, but results continue to develop as collagen remodeling takes place. Continued improvement can occur for up to three months following treatment.
How many Morpheus8 treatments will I need?
For optimal results, at least three treatments are typically recommended, spaced approximately 3–4 weeks apart. Your treatment plan may vary depending on your skin, treatment area, and individual goals.
Is Morpheus8 good for acne scars?
Morpheus8 can help improve the appearance of certain acne scars by stimulating collagen remodeling and improving uneven skin texture. Your skin and type of scarring can be evaluated during your consultation to determine whether Morpheus8 is appropriate for you.
Can Morpheus8 tighten skin on the body?
Yes. Morpheus8 can be used on selected areas of the body to improve skin laxity and texture. Depending on the treatment area, it may also help with contouring by targeting deeper layers of skin and fat.
Can Morpheus8 replace a facelift?
Morpheus8 is a nonsurgical treatment and does not provide the same degree of lifting or correction as a surgical facelift. It may be an excellent option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to improve firmness and texture without surgery.
