Morpheus 8 procedure works by skin tightening and toning, rejuvenation, and collagen regeneration. Microneedling creates small punctures and wounds on the skin, which stimulate the skin’s healing process. Combining microneedling with radio-frequency energy makes the tissues detect even more damage, and the heat generated from this triggers rapid collagen production and cell renewal.
Treatment begins with local anesthesia or topical anesthesia in the treatment area. Once the area has been prepared, the Morpheus8 device is systematically placed over the entire area, delivering radiofrequency energy through tiny needle-like pins. Using these pins, the radio frequency energy can reach and heat deeper layers of skin and tissue, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin for tighter, smoother skin. The treatment typically takes an hour or less, depending on the size of the area to be treated.
This procedure can be beneficial to individuals who want to enhance the look and feel of their skin without the need for downtime.
Some tightening will be evident immediately after treatment. New collagen and elastin formation begins after about 4 weeks, becomes most apparent from 3 to 6 months after treatment, and continues for about a year.
Most patients describe their Morpheus8 treatments as moderately painful. At Age-Less Weigh-Less, we do offer pronox for patient comfort.
The cost of a Morpheus8 treatment varies depending on the size of the treatment area, how long the procedure takes, and how many treatments you require. At your consultation, we will discuss pricing in detail.
Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production for long-lasting benefits and patients can expect their results to last 1-3 years. To maintain your rejuvenated youthful appearance, it is important to protect your sun from excessive sun exposure and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Morpheus8 is a highly effective treatment for acne scars. The tiny needles will break up the scar tissue and encourage new growth of healthy tissues to “cover up” the damaged skin.
Morpheus8 results will develop over several months as new collagen develops. Most patients will begin to see significant improvements in their skin’s texture and tone after four weeks, with continued improvements for up to one year.
While Morpheus8 is primarily used for skin tightening, heat generated by RF energy can melt fat cells and remove a small amount of fat. If fat reduction is your treatment goal, we can recommend other treatment options that will give you more optimal results.
Yes. Morpheus8 is an exceptional non-surgical treatment option for jawline contouring and skin tightening. Sagging skin along the jawline (sometimes known as jowls) can be significantly improved with Morpheus8 treatment.
Like the facelift, Morpheus8 addresses moderate wrinkling and sagging skin. However, patients with significant amounts of sagging skin should have realistic expectations about the results they can achieve with non-surgical treatments like Morpheus8.
Morpheus8 is made with cutting-edge technology that, when used by an experienced medical professional, has minimal risk of skin damage. We will assess your skin to make sure the Morpheus8 procedure is safe for your skin type.
Morpheus8 technically does not dissolve filler, but it can disrupt the filler placement. We recommend that patients wait at least two weeks after getting filler to receive Morpheus8 and other minimally invasive treatments.
