Morpheus8 is a non-surgical, safe and effective treatment option that utilizes radio frequency technology to give a more youthful appearance. When we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity leading to wrinkles, lines, and sagging appearing. Morpheus8 treatment helps to stimulates collagen production to tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face and body. Morpheus8 comfortably penetrates the skin at a deeper level than other needling treatments, transforming your complexion and restoring more youthful facial skin.

How does Morpheus8 work?

Morpheus8 combines radio frequency technology, needling, and fractional treatments to address a variety of skincare problems. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and heat the tissue to stimulate the production of collagen. What makes Morpheus8 different than other needling treatments is the depth the needles penetrate the skin. It is the only treatment that can mold fat under the skin to obtain optimal results. Contouring and refining the subdermal layers will enable a more detailed approach to sculpt the face naturally.

Is it Painful?

Morpheus8 can be slightly uncomfortable.  As board certified surgeons who own the practice, they offer amazing ways to make your experience comfortable.

The needles used are very sharp and fine, allowing the benefit of puncturing your skin without the feeling of any tugging or pulling. To ensure your comfort, a medical grade topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area. When the procedure begins, you might feel a slight prickling sensation followed by a feeling of warmth as the needles pass over your skin. The advanced technology of Morpheus8 provides controlled and consistent heat delivery allowing for uniform treatment and results.

What is Recovery Like After Treatment?

Morpheus8 is a non-invasive procedure so there really will not be any need for downtime or recovery. Most people return to work the day after their treatment. Post-treatment, you may see a bit of pinpoint bleeding from the needles. This should only last for a few minutes. Your skin will be red and feel hot like it is slightly sunburned for a few days. Swelling around the treated areas is also a minor concern but should be resolved within a day or two. A good moisturizer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen are recommended.

What happens after a Morpheus8 treatment?

This is the fun part! After being treated with Morpheus8, your skin will be refreshed, revitalized and enhanced. Over the course of several weeks, new layers of collagen will begin to plump and volumize depleted skin contours, firming up your complexion so it appears more youthful and smooth. The skin’s overall tone and texture will be superior to that which you began treatment with, and a subtle lift with minimized skin laxity will begin to appear. It’s recommended that you undergo a series of treatments with Morpheus8 to experience full, comprehensive benefits.
