When we age, our skin begins to lose elasticity, and wrinkles, lines, and sagging appear. The growing demand for non-surgical skin rejuvenation has led to innovative treatments capable of addressing concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. Julene B. Samuels, MD, FACS in Prospect, KY, offers Morpheus8, a leading-edge solution for those seeking transformative skin rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 is a comfortable, non-surgical, advanced short-pulsed microneedling treatment that stimulates more youthful facial and body skin. Morpheus8 is the leader in short-pulsed microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) technology due to its variable depth needle penetration and energy delivery for smoothing and tightening the skin of the face and body. Morpheus8 stands out because it combines microneedling with RF energy, allowing it to reach deeper layers of the skin than standard microneedling techniques. This deeper penetration enhances its effectiveness.
Since it is short-pulsed (compared to PROFOUND’S long-pulsed) microneedling technology, a series of three treatments is typically recommended compared to a single PROFOUND treatment; however, Morpheus8 is much faster to perform and is therefore cheaper and offers less than a week of downtime. We compare Morpheus8 to other short-pulsed microneedling with radiofrequency technologies in the chart below.
For those wary of surgical procedures, Morpheus8 offers a compelling non-surgical alternative. This minimally invasive treatment requires no extensive downtime, making it an ideal choice for busy individuals.
The improvements achieved with Morpheus8 are not only impressive but also long-lasting. A proper skincare regimen and occasional maintenance sessions can extend the rejuvenating effects, ensuring lasting satisfaction with the treatment outcome.
Unlike more invasive procedures, Morpheus8 requires minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their daily activities shortly after treatment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking significant results without the lengthy recovery periods associated with surgery.
The versatility of Morpheus8 allows for fully customizable treatments tailored to each patient’s specific concerns and goals. Whether targeting acne scars, aging skin, or uneven texture, the treatment can be adjusted to achieve optimal results.
Your Morpheus8 journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Here, your skincare goals are discussed, and a personalized treatment plan is crafted to meet your specific needs.
On the day of the treatment, the target area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic will be applied to minimize discomfort. This preparation step ensures that the treatment is as pain-free as possible.
Using a specialized device that combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 works by creating tiny punctures in the skin while delivering RF energy deep into the dermis. This dual action stimulates collagen production and promotes skin tightening and rejuvenation.
It’s normal to experience some degree of redness, swelling, and sensitivity in the treated area. These symptoms are typically mild and subside within a few days. Applying ice packs and keeping the area elevated can help reduce swelling.
It’s essential to follow a gentle skincare routine to support the healing process. Use mild, hydrating products and avoid any harsh or abrasive treatments. We may recommend specific products to enhance healing and optimize treatment results. Protecting the treated skin from sun exposure is crucial. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and consider wearing protective clothing outdoors to prevent sun damage during the healing phase.
The number of treatments depends on the individual patient and the depth of treatments chosen. We typically recommend a series of three treatments for most patients, although some patients choose to add up to five sessions to their desired results. Treatments can be repeated at intervals of three to six weeks.
We suggest a follow-up treatment two to three days after the first treatment to ensure a safe healing process. Typical downtime is one to six days and varies by patient and depth of treatment.
Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency technology, needling, and fractional treatments to address a variety of skincare problems. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and heat the tissue to stimulate the production of collagen.
Each Morpheus8 session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. This convenient timeframe makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule and allows for a quick return to daily activities.
