Tighten Skin Without Surgery
Morpheus8- Radiofrequency Microneedling
A totally non-surgical procedure, the Morpheus8 uses both radiofrequency and micro-needling for skin remodeling. No downtime is associated, safe on any skin type and can be used on patients that just took sun the same day! To sum it up, Morpheus8 is targeting subdermal layers of skin and tissue to both remodel and stimulate collagen production with little to no downtime and a light sunburn feeling for an hour or two.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

Morpheus8 and traditional microneedling might seem similar at first glance, as they both use tiny needles to rejuvenate the skin. There is a key difference that sets Morpheus8 apart. Think of standard microneedling as a basic level treatment. It uses a series of small needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These tiny wounds kickstart your body’s healing process, boosting collagen production. This is great for improving skin texture, reducing scars, and giving a fresher look to your skin.
Morpheus8 takes it to the next level by adding the power of radiofrequency energy. When the Morpheus8 device's needles penetrate your skin, they also deliver this energy deep into the dermis. This energy heats the deeper layers of your skin, providing a more profound and comprehensive rejuvenation. This not only enhances collagen production but also remodels the existing collagen and fat. The result? You get tighter, smoother skin with more significant improvements in sagging and aging signs. Plus, because Morpheus8 targets deeper skin layers, it can also contour and refine your underlying facial or body structure, something traditional microneedling can't do. So, while both treatments are fantastic for skin rejuvenation, Morpheus8 offers a more advanced, multi-level approach to skin tightening and contouring.

The adjustable depths of the needles in Morpheus8 play a crucial role in customizing the treatment to meet your specific skin needs.
Here's why it's so important:
Targeting Different Skin Layers: Different layers of your skin have different concerns and require different treatments. The surface might need attention for fine lines and texture, while deeper layers might need stimulation for collagen production to tackle sagging. By adjusting the needle depth, Morpheus8 can precisely target these various layers, ensuring that each area gets the appropriate treatment for its specific issues.
Personalized Treatment for Different Areas: Your face and body have areas with varying skin thickness. For example, the skin under your eyes is much thinner than the skin on your cheeks or abdomen. Morpheus8’s adjustable needles allow for a tailored approach, ensuring that each area receives the optimal penetration depth for effective treatment without causing damage to the delicate areas.
Enhanced Safety and Comfort: Different depths allow for a balance between efficacy and comfort. Deeper penetration can be more effective but might be less comfortable or suitable for sensitive areas. By adjusting the depth, the treatment can be made more comfortable without compromising the results.
Customization for Individual Skin Conditions: Everyone's skin is unique, with different levels of elasticity, thickness, and issues like scarring or sagging. The ability to adjust needle depth means that Morpheus8 can be customized to suit your individual skin condition and concerns, ensuring a treatment that is as effective as it is personalized.

The lasting effects of Morpheus8 are one of its most appealing features. Generally, you can expect the results to last about one to three years. However, it's important to remember that everyone's skin is different, and various factors can influence how long the benefits last.
Here's a simple way to think about it: Morpheus8 works by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen, which is like the scaffolding that keeps your skin firm and youthful. After the treatment, your skin continues to produce new collagen for several months, which means you'll see improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance during this time.
The longevity of these results depends on your skin’s natural aging process, your lifestyle, and how well you take care of your skin. Factors like sun exposure, smoking, diet, and your overall health can affect how long the results last. To maximize the benefits, it's crucial to follow a good skincare routine, use sun protection, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Remember, while Morpheus8 can turn back the clock on your skin, it doesn't stop the clock. Aging is a continuous process, so you might need follow-up treatments in the future to maintain the results. Think of it as ongoing maintenance - just like you would care for a beautiful garden, regular attention helps keep your skin looking its best.

Morpheus8 is a highly versatile treatment that can be used on various parts of the body.
Here are some of the common areas where Morpheus8 can be effectively applied:
Face: It's commonly used on the face to address issues like wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and acne scars. It can target areas around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, and jawline to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Neck and Jawline: Morpheus8 is excellent for tightening loose skin around the neck and defining the jawline, which can often show signs of aging or sagging.
Abdomen: It can be used to tighten loose skin on the abdomen, which is especially beneficial after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Arms: The treatment can help with 'bat wings' or saggy skin on the upper arms, a common concern for many people.
Legs and Thighs: Morpheus8 can also be applied to the legs and thighs to improve skin texture and tightness.
Buttocks: For lifting and firming the skin on the buttocks, Morpheus8 can be an effective solution.
Hands: It can be used to rejuvenate the skin on the hands, which often show early signs of aging.
Morpheus8's ability to be adjusted for different depths makes it suitable for both the delicate areas of the face and the thicker skin of the body. This adaptability allows it to effectively treat a range of skin concerns across different body areas. However, it's always essential to have a personalized consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and goals.
-
Morpheus8 treatments are typically spaced out to allow your skin enough time to heal and to maximize the benefits of the treatment. Generally, it's recommended to have Morpheus8 sessions every 4 to 6 weeks. This interval is ideal for most people, as it aligns with the skin's natural cycle of healing and collagen production.
The total number of sessions you might need can vary depending on your individual skin concerns, the area being treated, and the results you're looking to achieve. Usually, a series of 3 to 5 treatments is common to get the desired outcome. After this initial series, maintenance sessions can be done as needed, which might be once a year or once every few years, depending on how your skin responds and your personal aesthetic goals.
It's important to have a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan should be developed in consultation with a professional who can assess your skin and recommend the best course of action. They can also advise you on how to care for your skin between treatments to ensure the best results. Remember, each person's skin is unique, so the frequency and number of treatments will vary from person to person.
-
The downtime associated with Morpheus8 is relatively minimal, making it a convenient option for those looking for effective skin rejuvenation without a long recovery period. Typically, the downtime can range from 1 to 3 days, depending on the intensity of the treatment and your skin's individual response.
Here's what you can generally expect post-treatment:
Redness and Swelling: Right after the treatment, it's common to experience some redness and swelling in the treated area. This is similar to what you might experience with a mild sunburn. The redness usually subsides within a few days.
Sensitivity: Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual. This sensitivity should gradually decrease over a few days.
Minor Skin Irritation: You might notice some minor irritation, similar to a slight sunburn or a prickly feeling.
Tiny Dots (or stamping): Because of the microneedling aspect of Morpheus8, you may see tiny dot-like marks where the needles entered the skin. These typically fade within a week.
It's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your provider, which may include avoiding direct sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen.
Most people can return to their regular activities within a day or two, but it's generally advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy makeup until the skin has fully healed.
How It Works
Treatments to Pair with Morpheus8
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable cosmetic filler that works to gradually replace lost collagen, the key structural protein in the skin that's responsible for maintaining its youthful firmness and elasticity. Unlike immediate fillers, Sculptra helps stimulate your body's own collagen production over time, leading to more natural-looking, long-lasting results in restoring facial volume and smoothing out wrinkles.
Botox
Botox is a perfect partner for Morpheus8. While Morpheus8 works wonders on the skin's surface and deeper layers, Botox goes the extra mile by smoothing out those expression lines and wrinkles that come from everyday facial movements. Together, they offer a full-circle approach to anti-aging, tackling everything from fine lines and skin laxity to deep-set wrinkles, giving you a naturally refreshed and rejuvenated look.
Hydrafacial
HydraFacial is a great complement to Morpheus8, as it deeply cleanses and hydrates the skin, which enhances the results of Morpheus8's deeper collagen-stimulating effects. This combination ensures your skin not only gains firmness and rejuvenation from within but also boasts a radiant, clear, and hydrated surface, amplifying your overall youthful glow.
