Morpheus8®

Morpheus8® combines microneedling and radiofrequency. It remodels the skin from a deeper level.

A skilled professional targets the skin’s building blocks. They use micro injuries and RF waves. This triggers the body’s natural healing and anti-aging processes. Morpheus8® treats the skin beyond the surface level. The procedure is only minimally invasive (nonsurgical). Yet the results are truly dramatic.

Treatment Areas

Each person’s needs are unique for subdermal renewal or sculpting. That is why Morpheus8® is designed to be versatile. With a few modifications, a trained professional can safely treat various body parts. They bring the best results for each patient’s case.

Morpheus8® can treat the face, jawline, neck, abdomen, buttocks, and arms. It addresses the following concerns:

• Wrinkles
• Sagging or loose skin
• Acne scarring or rough skin
• Discoloration
• Stretchmarks

How to Prepare

The Morpheus8® procedure is generally hassle-free. You must come in 1 hour before your treatment. This is to receive a topical numbing cream. It makes your treatment much more comfortable. Refrain from retinol-based creams for one week before treatment. For best results, stay healthy and well-hydrated before and after the procedure. Morpheus8® uses natural skin healing processes. So ensure proper nutrition and good circulation. Unhealthy habits like drinking and smoking hinder good results.

Some conditions need extra precaution. We suggest a consultation before preparing for Morpheus8® if you have:

• Rosacea
• Active acne or other inflammatory conditions
• Open wounds or lesions (e.g., from herpes simplex)
• Metal allergies
• Skin healing from dermabrasion, deep peels, or surgery in the last 3 months
• Sunburned skin or excessive tanning in the last 2 weeks

How it Works

The Morpheus8® device works on the subdermal level. It achieves deep fractional remodelling. It combines microneedling and radiofrequency. These two technologies were once used separately.

Microneedling creates slight, controlled injuries to the skin. The skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue. In skilled hands, this process is highly controlled. The new skin tissue is more even in texture and tone.

Radiofrequency treatments use energy to stimulate collagen and elastin. These are known as RF waves. They go deep into the dermal tissue. They administer heat to stimulate collagen and elastin. This results in tighter, renewed skin. Radiofrequency can also target fat cells to induce fat remodelling.

Morpheus8® uses microneedles to make controlled micro injuries. It also delivers RF waves into deeper skin layers. This triggers the body’s natural healing response. It produces collagen and elastin. This remodels the skin for a firm and even appearance. RF waves can also target fat cells. This helps with sagging in areas like jowls or arms. The remodelling is controlled. So there is no worry about accidental volume loss on the face.

Results You Can Expect

When done by a capable professional, Morpheus8® can do the following:

• Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
• Tighten loose skin
• Smoothen out rough skin texture
• Improve the appearance of acne scarring
• Contour and remodel fat on the face and body nonsurgically

Visible results can be seen within a few days. But full results take time. The three-week mark shows more noticeable results. Improvements can continue up to three months after treatment.

Most cases need 2 to 3 treatments for desired results. If multiple treatments are recommended, they are spaced 4 to 5 weeks apart.

Aftercare and Recovery

Morpheus8® is only minimally invasive. There is no real downtime. Depending on your treatment, you may wait hours before washing the area with water.

Redness, itchiness, and minor swelling last at most a few days. This makes Morpheus8® an easy procedure. You can resume activities almost immediately.

Targeted skincare can boost your results. This is especially true in the first 72 hours. Channels on the skin surface are still healing. They allow medical-grade products to penetrate deeper. Products with growth factors, peptides, vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid can help. Your skincare professional may recommend them. Always consult before using any products post-treatment.

Avoid direct sunlight for a few weeks after your procedure. If you go out, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF-30. This prevents post-procedure hyperpigmentation. The best option for healing skin is sunscreen with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Consult your skincare professional for the best brand and SPF level.

Potential Complications

The Morpheus8® procedure has a few potential complications:

• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Allergic reaction to the anesthetic agent
• Infection (if not cared for properly)
• Sunburn and hyperpigmentation (when not protected from the sun)
