Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to resurface the skin, tighten loose skin, and reduce fat in targeted areas. It's effective for skin tightening, acne scarring, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Morpheus8 uses microneedling technology, where tiny, sterile needles create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response. In addition to microneedling, Morpheus8 incorporates radio-frequency energy. RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. The controlled micro-injuries from microneedling and the application of RF energy trigger the body to produce new collagen and elastin. This process helps to remodel and tighten the skin over time. The combined effects of microneedling and RF energy make Morpheus8 effective in tightening loose or sagging skin. The new collagen and elastin fibers contribute to improved skin texture, firmness, and overall tightness. Morpheus8 is versatile and can be used on various areas of the body, making it suitable for treating loose skin not only on the face but also on areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, and more.

Why it's special

The number of treatments varies but 1-3 sessions are typically recommended for optimal results

Keep the treated area clean and dry ("dry healing") for the first 24 hours after the procedure. Avoid touching or picking at the treated area.
After the first 24 hours, apply Aquaphor or Vaseline to the treated area as needed to keep the skin hydrated.
A gentle facewash can be used to the treated area 1-2x/day starting the day of treatment and patted dry with a clean towel.
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen starting day 3 with at least SPF 30 on the treated area to protect the skin from UV damage.
Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for at least 48 hours after the procedure.
Avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating and/or heat for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure.
Avoid using harsh skincare products, exfoliants, or retinol on the treated area for at least 1 week after the procedure.
If you experience any redness, swelling, or discomfort, you can apply a cold compress to the treated area or take over-the-counter pain medication as needed.
Follow up with your provider for any scheduled follow-up appointments or if you have any concerns or questions about your recovery.
It is normal to experience a hot sunburn feeling for a few hours immediately following the procedure and redness, swelling, or mild discomfort lasting up to1-2 weeks.
Be patient with the results of your treatment, as it may take several months to see the full benefits of Morpheus8 or radiofrequency microneedling.
The optimal treatment plan requires 3 consecutive treatments each being 1 month apart.
