Aging is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look and feel your best at any age. For those seeking to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing surgery, Morpheus8 offers a revolutionary solution. This cutting-edge treatment combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to tighten, lift, and renew your skin. This post is going to walk you through everything you need to know about Morpheus8, from how it works to what you can expect before and after treatment.
Morpheus8 is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to target deep layers of the skin. Unlike traditional microneedling, which only affects the surface layer, Morpheus8 penetrates deeper, promoting collagen production and skin tightening.
Developed by InMode, Morpheus8 has gained popularity for its ability to provide dramatic results without the need for surgical intervention. The treatment is FDA-approved and suitable for various skin types, making it accessible to a wide audience.
What sets Morpheus8 apart is its ability to remodel the skin from within. By delivering RF energy deep into the dermal layers, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF energy to deliver targeted treatments. The microneedles create tiny punctures in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing response. At the same time, RF energy is delivered through these needles, heating the deeper layers of the skin.
This dual-action approach not only promotes collagen production but also tightens the skin by contracting existing collagen fibers. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion.
The technology behind Morpheus8 allows for precise targeting of specific areas, making it ideal for treating various concerns, from sagging skin to fine lines and wrinkles. The depth of the treatment can be adjusted to suit individual needs, ensuring optimal results.
Morpheus8 is incredibly versatile and can be used to treat a variety of areas on the face and body. Some of the most common treatment areas include:
Because Morpheus8 can be customized to target different depths of the skin, it’s suitable for a wide range of treatment areas. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for patients seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
One of the most common questions about Morpheus8 is whether the treatment is painful. The good news is that most of our patients find the procedure to be quite comfortable. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area beforehand to minimize any discomfort.
During the procedure, you may feel a slight tingling or warming sensation as the RF energy is delivered. Some patients describe it as a mild prickling feeling, similar to traditional microneedling. Overall, the experience is generally well-tolerated.
After the treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. However, this typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days, depending on your skin type and sensitivity.
If you’re considering Morpheus8, knowing what to expect during your treatment can help ease any concerns. The process typically begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Rau will assess your skin and discuss your specific goals.
On the day of the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Once the numbing cream has taken effect, the Morpheus8 handpiece will be used to deliver RF energy through microneedles.
The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Following your Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect some redness and swelling in the treated area. This is a normal part of the healing process and typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
Immediately after your treatment we apply a Lipid Recovery Mask by EPICUTIS to sooth your skin and the speed the repair process. You will be provided with aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. Overall we advise avoiding sun exposure for several days and applying mineral medical grade sunscreen. Our personal favorite is the Essential Defense Mineral Shield™ Broad Spectrum SPF 32 Sunscreen Tinted by SkinMedica®. It keeping the treated area clean and moisturized.
You may notice some immediate improvements in your skin’s texture and tone, but the full results will continue to develop over the coming weeks as collagen production increases.
One of the standout features of Morpheus8 is its ability to deliver long-lasting results. Some patients see improvements after one treatment treatment. For optimal and noticeable results we recommend no less then 3 sessions spaced four weeks apart. Our patients begin to see improvements after after the second treatment treatment with continued enhancements over the next three to six months.
Depending on your specific goals, the condition of your skin and the assessment from Dr. Rau during your consultation, the exact number of sessions will be recommended to achieve the best outcome.
The production of collagen and elastin stimulated by the treatment helps to maintain these results, making your skin look firmer and more youthful for an extended period. To maintain the results of your treatment we suggest products that are gentle on your skin such as the Lipid Serum paired with the Hyvia® Creme by EPICUTIS. All of the products are available for purchase at our practice!
Recovery time is minimal, and most patients can resume their normal activities within a day or two. This makes Morpheus8 an excellent option if you are looking to achieve significant results without the downtime of surgical procedures.
Morpheus8 represents a breakthrough in non-surgical skin rejuvenation, offering a safe and effective way to achieve firmer, more youthful-looking skin. With its combination of microneedling and RF energy, Morpheus8 can address various skin concerns and deliver long-lasting results.
