MORPHEUS8
Subdermal Remodeling
What is MORPHEUS8?
Morpheus8 is a skin tightening and remodeling treatment that uses unique technology of combining micro-needling with radio frequency (RF) heat it has the capability to address a wide range of skin concerns such as skin laxity, uneven skin texture and tone, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and even stretch marks. Many patients have also found it extremely effective in combatting acne and improving the appearance of acne scarring. We’ve found that Morpheus8 can actually eliminate the bacteria that causes acne. Morpheus8 is unique in that it has insulated tips that can comfortably and safely penetrate under the surface of the skin much deeper than traditional micro-needling treatments all without causing any damage to the surface of the skin. This allows the treatment to target what is known as adipose fat, the loose connective tissue underneath the skin. Targeting the adipose fat with RF heat gives the treatment the capability to contour and remodel skin tissue. Morpheus8 is most widely used to treat areas of the face, neck, and jawline, but can effectively treat most areas of the body. In addition, because the treatment involves micro-needling, which penetrates RF energy under the deep layers of the dermis via tiny pins or pricks, it also stimulates your body’s wound healing response into producing collagen and elastin, and encourages your body to generate healthy skin cell turnover, which in turn is what maintains your result for a long period of time.

Visible results can be seen within a few days of the first treatment. But as with all procedures, there is a waiting time before you can see the full results. For the Morpheus8 procedure, the three-week mark will show you far more noticeable results but improvements can continue up to three months post-treatment.
So, how many treatments does it take? In most cases, it takes at least two to three Morpheus8 treatment sessions to see desired results. For mild cosmetic concerns, one treatment may be enough. However, if your doctor recommended multiple Morpheus8 procedures, they are spaced around four to five weeks apart.
