Morpheus8

WHAT TO EXPECT

Here’s how Morpheus8 typically works:

Consultation:
Before the procedure, a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider or aesthetic specialist is necessary. During this consultation, the provider assesses the patient’s skin concerns and goals to determine if Morpheus8 is a suitable treatment.

Preparation:
On the day of the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure.

Morpheus8 Handpiece:
Morpheus8 uses a specialized handpiece that combines RF technology with microneedles. The handpiece is equipped with an array of tiny, ultra-fine needles that can penetrate the skin at various depths, depending on the treatment goals.

Treatment:
The Morpheus8 handpiece is precisely applied to the targeted area of the skin. As the handpiece is moved across the skin’s surface, the microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the deeper layers of the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy. This combination of microneedling and RF energy serves several purposes.

Microneedling:
The tiny micro-injuries created by the needles trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This helps to improve skin elasticity, texture, and overall firmness.

Radiofrequency Energy:
The RF energy generates heat within the skin, which further stimulates collagen production and tightens the existing collagen fibers. It also helps to melt fat cells in the treated area, making Morpheus8 effective for body contouring as well.

Customized Depth:
The provider can adjust the depth of needle penetration and the energy level according to the specific treatment goals and the patient’s skin type and condition. Deeper penetration targets issues like sagging skin, while more superficial treatments can address fine lines and wrinkles.

Cooling and Comfort:
Many Morpheus8 devices have built-in cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort and protect the skin’s surface during the procedure.

Recovery:
After the treatment, there may be some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort, similar to a sunburn. However, these side effects typically resolve within a few days to a week. Patients are usually advised to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by their provider, which may include avoiding direct sunlight and using gentle skincare products.

Results and Maintenance:
Results from Morpheus8 are usually gradual and become more noticeable over time as the body’s collagen production increases. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain the improvements.
