What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractionated RF (radio-frequency) and microneedling device that can help improve the texture of your skin. The RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled fashion, revitalizing the collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance and can dramatically improve wrinkles, loose skin, acne scars, cellulite and stretch marks.
What Areas can be Treated?
The most commonly treated areas include the face and neck regions. In addition, Morpheus8 body can address larger body zones such as the arms, chest, abdomen, thighs and buttocks.
Ideal Candidates for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 can be used on all skin types and tones for patients who exhibit wrinkles, discoloration, loose skin, acne scarring, cellulite and stretch marks. It can also be performed on patients who previously underwent liposuction, BodyTite or FaceTite for additional tightening and remodeling.
What to Expect?
Most treatment regimens will require 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The skin will be numbed with topical anesthesia (numbing cream) before treatment. Multiple passes with the Morpheus8 device will be performed at various depths at each treatment area in order to achieve optimal results. After treatment, the skin will be slightly tender and red and will subside quickly as you heal. Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use an adequate sunscreen every day. Downtime is minimal. Makeup can be applied 2 days after treatment.
Visible results can be appreciated within a few days, but the most noticeable results typically appear after three weeks. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.
