What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to target deep layers of the skin. It combines the benefits of microneedling – (collagen production) with the additional benefit of radiofrequency which promotes skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 is designed to improve the appearance of the skin by addressing common concerns associated with the aging process, such as wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.
How does Morpheus8 work?
A small handheld device is used to deliver RF energy through tiny needles that penetrate the skin at various depths.
The RF energy heats the underlying tissues, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
What are the benefits of Morpheus8?
- Collagen Stimulation: Helps rejuvenate the skin by increasing collagen production, which is essential in improving skin texture, and firmness.
- Skin Tightening: RF energy helps tighten the skin by stimulating the production of elastin, leading to a more youthful and lifted appearance.
- Reduces Wrinkles & Fine Lines: Ideal for tackling fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the face and neck.
- Improves Acne Scarring: The treatment can effectively reduce the appearance of scarring on the face caused by acne.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to surgical procedures, Morpheus8 is minimally invasive, with no need for cuts or incisions.
- Little to No Downtime: Most people can return to their regular activities within 24 hours.
What kind of results are expected from Morpheus8?
Results typically begin to show within a few weeks after the treatment as collagen production ramps up, with the full results becoming visible after 3 to 6 months.
Morpheus8 offers long-term benefits with results that can last for 1-2 years, depending on the individual’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle.
The results are gradual and natural, helping to avoid a “done” or overdone look. The skin will feel firmer, smoother, and more youthful.
