What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that fractionally remodels and contours the face and body. It is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production of the underlying layers of the dermis.

By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. It penetrates deep into the skin and fat to morph the aging face into a more desired smooth and sleek appearance for all skin tones. In fact, Morpheus8 penetrates deeper into the skin than any other microneedling device going as deep as 8mm. This is also why RF energy is safe for patients with darker skin tones, while laser treatments can cause hyperpigmentation.

Patient comfort is actually a major advantage of this device. Just because it penetrates deeper does not mean it’s an uncomfortable treatment – the sharper needles and tiny punctures are done in the skin without any painful tugging or pulling.

 

What Does Morpheus8 Microneedling Help?

Morpheus8 Microneedling is frequently used to improve the skin tone and texture of your face and neck, as well as the following:

  • Stimulates Collagen Production

  • Improves Skin Texture

  • Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines / Skin Creases

  • Stretch Marks

  • Sagging Skin

  • Improves Active Acne and Acne Scars

  • Sun Damage Repair

  • Facial Discoloration

 

What Areas of the Body can be Treated with Morpheus8?

The most common areas are lower face and neck but any area that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal can be treated with Morpheus8. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.

 

What are the Risk Associated with Morpheus8 Treatments?

The main risk associated with the use of this form of energy is the potential for skin burns, but Morpheus8 RF treatments involve highly controlled delivery of RF energy with internal safeguards.

These treatments and devices have been cleared by the FDA for skin tightening.

 

What Makes Morpheus8 Different from Other Micro-Needling Treatments? 

Microneedling with RF is the next generation of microneedling. Regular microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy, or CIT) is the concept of using tiny needles to penetrate the skin, creating very small channels of which the body heals by laying down new collagen.

Microneedling with Morpheus8 RF adds radiofrequency-generated heat to the deeper layers induces new collagen and elastin production and encourages cell turnover, helping loose skin to become thicker and firmer which allows the treatment to tighten the skin and contour undesired fat. 

The Morpheus8 treatment is FDA approved as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD). This means that at its most powerful settings, Morpheus8 can sculpt or remodel the fat under the skin. At less deep settings, Morpheus8 treatment can also improve the texture of the skin, providing smoothing, tightening, and improvement of scars and dilated pores.

 

What is the Benefit
of RF Energy and Fractionated Energy?

RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. This treatment helps to improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and fat. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.

 

How Long Does
Treatment Take? 

Treatments are generally 15-20 minutes after numbing, which takes 30-45 minutes. While you can resume normal daily activities immediately after treatment, some patients experience slight redness that goes away within a a few hours.

 

How Long Does It Take
to See Results?

Visible results can be seen after only a few days. More noticeable results typically take a couple of months and full results require about six months as collagen production can be a fairly slow process.

 

What Skin Types are Safe for Morpheus8?

The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology that it allows it to be used on all skin types including darker skin tones with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can be seen with other resurfacing treatments.

 

How Many Treatments
Will I Need?

If you want conservative improvement in your skin, you may only need a single treatment. For best results, we recommend 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. This gives our patients maximum antiaging and skin rejuvenation results. If you have acne scarring or stretch marks you are looking to treat, you may require 4-6 treatments to get you ideal results. Every patient is different and during your consultation, we’ll be able to outline a course of treatment based on your individual anatomy, health history, and aesthetic needs.
