Morpheus8 Skin Rejuvenation
Revolutionary Skin Rejuvenation
Have healthier, more youthful skin with a revolutionary procedure called Morpheus8. It uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the skin on the face or body. Morpheus8 Burst is a more advanced method designed to penetrate deeper into the skin, making it more effective for advanced skin changes.
These treatments stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and can significantly improve acne scarring.
How the Procedure Works
The procedure works by utilizing a handheld device equipped with a series of microneedles that will penetrate the skin at specific depths. The needles emit radiofrequency energy, which generates heat into the dermal layers of the skin. This will encourage the tissue to remodel collagen and increase elastin production. Collagen is a key structural protein that gives the skin its firmness. Elastin helps the skin return to its original position after it’s been compressed or stretched.
The Morpheus8 Burst can deliver the energy deeper and to multiple layers of the tissue in one step. This can also help remodel the fat under the skin simultaneously while improving the surface skin texture. It targets both deeper layers of skin and more superficial ones. It can help with facial contouring and address sagging skin while improving skin tone and texture.
Who Are Ideal Candidates?
The best candidates for these procedures are individuals that experience early signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of volume. It is also highly effective for people with acne scars, stretch marks, or uneven skin texture. This treatment can be used for any area of the body. The treatment can be used on darker skin types while avoiding hyperpigmentation that can be caused by some laser-based treatments. Those with active skin infections, severe acne, or a history of poor wound healing, such as those with uncontrolled diabetes, may not be suitable for the procedure.
Customizable Treatments with Interchangeable Tips
The Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Burst has different interchangeable tips to individualize treatments for patient-specific needs. There is a 12-pin tip, which is ideal for smaller areas like around the eyes, lips, and forehead. A 24-pin tip is commonly used for most facial procedures because it penetrates deeper and is more suitable for skin tightening and moderate wrinkle reduction. A 40-pin tip is designed for large areas such as the neckline and abdomen. It is more beneficial for areas of sagging skin and those needing fat reduction. The different tips allow for a personalized treatment.
Pre-Treatment Recommendations
Recommendations for pre-treatment include avoiding sun exposure at least two weeks before and avoiding tanning to reduce the risk of skin irritation and pigment issues. You should stop using skincare products that include retinoids, acids, or exfoliants about a week before the procedure. Remaining well hydrated enables the skin to respond better to the treatment.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, it is best to avoid direct sunlight and use a sunscreen with at least a 30 SPF as the areas that were treated will be more sensitive. Use a gentle skin cleanser and avoid exfoliants for at least a week after treatment. Apply a high-quality moisturizer or product containing hyaluronic acid to maintain hydration during the recovery.
Patients will see noticeable differences after just one treatment, but most people require three treatments spaced at about four to six weeks apart for optimal outcomes. The exact number of treatments depends on the individual’s skin condition and their goals. Deeper wrinkles or more sagging skin require additional sessions.
Possible Side Effects
This procedure is considered safe, but possible side effects may occur. These include some redness and swelling in the treated area, mild discomfort or sensation of a sunburn, pinpoint bruising or bleeding, or temporary hyperpigmentation. The hyperpigmentation is rare but more common in darker skin tones. Side effects generally resolve within several days to a week.
Long-Lasting Improvements
Results from a treatment are long-lasting, and you can continue to see improvements from the treatment for up to eighteen months. During this time, remodeling of collagen and elastin continues and will improve the skin’s texture, firmness, and elasticity. Healthy lifestyle behaviors, sunscreen, quality skin care regimen, and persistent hydration help to preserve results.
