If you are bothered by wrinkles, skin laxity, uneven skin tone, or scarring on your face and body, Morpheus8 may be the treatment for you. The procedure uses microneedling and radiofrequency energy to restimulate collagen production and improve skin appearance.
The treatment also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can even minimize the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
Benefits
Morpheus8 uses regulated heat to penetrate deep into your skin, revving collagen and elastin production. This improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and discoloration. It also tightens and firms loose skin in areas of your face and body, such as the chin, neck, arms, and thighs.
Morpheus8 in Memphis, Tennessee, is a noninvasive procedure with minimal downtime and discomfort. A practitioner will apply numbing cream to your cleansed skin before pressing the handheld device with micro-needles into the skin. You will feel slightly prickling as the needles penetrate to heat your tissue.
Your practitioner may use different types of needles for your facial and body treatments. A session typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. You may experience some redness and swelling after treatment. The bruising and swelling usually disappear after a day or two.
Safety
Morpheus8 promotes your skin’s natural collagen production for healthier, firmer, and tighter tissue. The treatment also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles for a refreshed appearance.
Because this treatment is noninvasive and doesn’t require surgery, you can expect minimal downtime. Most patients can return to work following their procedure. You may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area for a day or two, which can be easily managed with ice packs.
You should avoid direct sunlight after the procedure and follow your healthcare professional’s instructions for the best results. This may include avoiding sun exposure and using a specialized skincare regimen. Your provider will provide you with detailed instructions based on your individual needs. They may also recommend annual maintenance treatments to keep your results in check.
Cost
If you’re a good candidate, this treatment is an excellent way to improve your appearance and boost your confidence without surgery. It’s an alternative to a facelift without incisions, and it tightens loose skin in the neck, chin, arms, and thighs. It can also minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
The RF microneedling procedure causes controlled damage to the tissue, which triggers your body’s natural healing responses. This promotes collagen production, which creates new skin cells that are healthier and smoother. It evens out tone and texture, which reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, dark spots, and acne scarring.
Recovery
The RF energy of Morpheus8 targets the deeper skin layers, remodeling the underlying scaffolding and rejuvenating the complexion. In contrast to lasers, Morpheus8 is noninvasive and does not disrupt the top layer of skin, making it a safe option for all complexion types.
The treatment is very comfortable for most patients. Before your Morpheus8 session, we will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also be used to manage discomfort after your treatment. Swelling and redness of the treatment area are normal after Morpheus8 but should subside within a few days. Avoiding direct sunlight following your treatment and using gentle skincare products to promote a healthy recovery are important.
