How RF Microneedling Transforms Your Skin
Morpheus8™ is so effective because it combines two of the most powerful skin resurfacing and tissue remodeling technologies used in aesthetics today: radio-frequency (RF) energy and medical-grade microneedles. Combining these two technologies results in the most effective tissue remodeling and collagen-inducing treatment for tighter, more youthful skin without surgery.
As we age (beginning around age 20), collagen production begins to slow, which prompts skin aging. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that are the building blocks of the skin. They are responsible for your skin’s bounce and its ability to retain moisture. The more collagen you have, the more youthful your skin looks.
Morpheus8™ aims to repair the skin from the inside out by promoting more collagen production. During a Morpheus8™ treatment, a special device featuring microneedles is passed over the skin, penetrating deep within the tissues. The RF energy heats the needles to penetrate fat and skin, contracting connective tissues to reshape facial contours. The heat also triggers the body’s healing response, which sends more collagen to the affected area to repair the damage, therefore promoting improved results over time.
How Deep Does Morpheus8™ Go?
There are quite a few RF microneedling devices available, but Morpheus8™ is considered the gold standard because it reaches much deeper than other options. Morpheus8™ can penetrate up to 8mm, although treatment at this depth is meant for body applications. This device is fully customizable, so your provider will be able to use varying depths of treatment based on the needs of the treatment area.
For example, if you want treatment for loose skin around your abdomen, a greater depth can be used than if you had treatment on your face. By customizing treatment, Morpheus8™ is much more effective and comfortable for a variety of needs.
How Many Treatments of Morpheus8™ Do You Need?
Each patient will have a different Morpheus8™ treatment plan, as needs and goals will vary. A good rule of thumb is the larger the treatment area and the more severe the concerns, the more treatments you’ll need.
Most patients will need more than one treatment to see ideal results, with treatments spaced apart to allow time for the body to respond.
The best way to determine your Morpheus8™ treatment plan is to schedule a consultation with your provider. Once you discuss your goals for the procedure, your provider can examine your skin and create a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
How Long Do Morpheus8™ Results Last?
Results will vary from person to person, and it’s important to remember that Morpheus8™ results take time to become apparent, as collagen needs to rebuild within the body. You’ll likely be able to see an improvement in skin tone and texture early, a few days after your treatment. Skin tightening and contouring results may take longer, a few weeks to become visible, with continued improvement up to a month later.
