What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an innovative skin rejuvenation procedure that combines micro needling with radio-frequency energy to contour the face and body. Unlike other fractional laser treatments, this procedure contours and remodels subnormal fatty tissue to create a smooth, sculpted, and sleeker appearance. It’s suitable for all skin colors and skin types.
How does Morpheus8 work?
While some laser treatments are designed to trigger collagen and renew the cells, they can only work at a certain level. The Morpheus8 device targets the deeper layers of the skin by creating small punctures deep in the skin tissue. The micro needling device emits radio frequency energy while it works, and the thermal effect of this triggers collagen production and skin tightening. There is no damage to the surface of the skin and patients are amazed at how quickly the skin heals!
Is Morpheus8 for me?
If you are concerned about wrinkles, acne scarring, skin discoloration, or an uneven complexion, this may be the perfect treatment for you. Morpheus8 can also be used to treat certain parts of the body. If you need some tightening around the midsection or have loose skin around the upper arms, this fractional treatment stimulates collagen production in the dermis to create a contoured and tighter look.
How many sessions are required?
Dr. Roberts recommends one to three sessions, depending on the area. If you are undergoing multiple treatments, you will need to wait about three weeks between treatments.
What results will I see and feel?
The skin will be red after treatment but any redness and swelling will dissipate in a few days. You will be able to apply makeup one or two days after treatment. Most patients see results within a few days but typically after 3 weeks when the skin has had a chance to heal. You can expect to see progressive results for up to three months after treatment as the skin continues to heal.
