Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. This innovative procedure stimulates collagen production and remodels the skin’s deeper layers, providing a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
How It Works:
- Microneedling: Tiny, gold-plated needles create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Radiofrequency Energy: RF energy is delivered through the needles, penetrating the skin’s deeper layers to remodel tissue and enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Benefits of Morpheus8:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Tightens sagging skin
- Minimizes acne scars and other types of scarring
- Treats active acne, papular or cystic
- Reduces the appearance of stretch marks
- Enhances overall skin firmness and elasticity
- Corrects large pores and damaged skin from sun and the elements
Treatment Areas:
Morpheus8 is versatile and can be used on multiple areas, including:
- Face (cheeks, under-eyes, jawline)
- Neck sagginess and neck lines
- Chest and cleavage area
- Abdomen, thighs, and other areas with skin laxity
What to Expect:
- The procedure is performed with topical numbing for comfort.
- Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Most patients experience minimal downtime, with mild redness and swelling subsiding within a few days.
- Optimal results are visible after a series of treatments and continue to improve over time as collagen builds.
Morpheus8 is ideal for those seeking significant skin rejuvenation and tightening without surgery. It is suitable for all skin types and skin tones including African American and darker skin tones.
