WHAT IS MORPHEUS8?
As we age, our skin starts to lose its elasticity, which results in fine lines, sagging, and other signs of aging. Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency energy through gold-plated microneedles. The process jumpstarts the skin’s restorative process, encouraging the development of new cells and collagen. This treatment is capable of broadly renewing the skin while also melting away small pockets of underlying fat.WHICH PARTS OF THE BODY CAN THIS TREATMENT BE PERFORMED ON?
The face and neck are popular treatment spots, but this radiofrequency microneedling treatment can be successfully performed all over the body, including the chest, arms, legs, abdomen, and buttocks.
HOW IT WORKS
At the start of your appointment, we will cleanse and numb your skin. We’ll then use a device with tiny needles that deliver radiofrequency energy to make a series of pricks on the skin in the treatment area. We’ll adjust the depth of the pricks and the amount of radiofrequency energy depending on what your cosmetic goals are.
The tiny pricks trick your skin into thinking it’s been injured which results in new cell generation and additional collagen production, renewing the skin.
HOW CAN I MAXIMIZE MY RESULTS?
Many patients opt to enhance their results by adding on the use of PRF gel, a next-generation platelet-rich plasma treatment. During PRP treatments, a small blood sample is taken and the patient’s own platelets are separated from other blood cells using a centrifuge machine and then mixed with the plasma. The resulting PRP substance can be spread or injected to enhance the results obtained from the treatment.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM TRADITIONAL MICRONEEDLING?
What makes Morpheus8 different is the inclusion of radiofrequency energy, which intensifies the production of new collagen and elastins, giving you even better results.
HOW MUCH RECOVERY IS INVOLVED?
Will I Need More Than One Treatment?
Many patients find that they need three or four treatments to fully achieve their cosmetic goals. Each treatment can usually be performed in less than an hour.HOW LONG WILL MY RESULTS LAST?
It takes time for the body to generate the additional collagen and elastin that this treatment spurs, so most patients don’t see their full results until three or four weeks after treatment. The improvement in your skin will last a year or more, and you can prolong your results by taking good care of your skin by shielding it from the sun and sticking to a conscientious at-home skincare regimen.WHO IS THIS RIGHT FOR?
