Morpheus8 is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars, as well as tightening and smoothing the skin.
The treatment involves the use of a handheld device that delivers RF energy to the deep layers of the skin. The needles are coated with gold and have a layer of insulation that prevents the radiofrequency energy from spreading beyond the tip of the needle. This allows for precise delivery of energy to the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surrounding tissues. The needles also help stimulate collagen and elastin production, which can help improve the texture and elasticity of the skin.
Morpheus8 can be used on various areas of the face and body, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck, and abdomen. It is also suitable for all skin types and tones. The treatment typically takes between 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated, and requires little to no downtime.
The results of Morpheus8 treatment can typically be seen within a few weeks after the treatment, with continued improvement over several months as collagen and elastin continue to regenerate. The duration of the results varies depending on the individual and their skin condition, but many people report that the results can last up to a year or more with proper skincare and maintenance.
At SKINCVRE we have 4 types of pins for use with InMode equipment only. The choice of pin type will depend on the specific goals of the treatment and the areas of the skin being treated. Your doctor will be able to recommend the appropriate pin type based on your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.
Downtime
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive radiofrequency microneedling treatment that is used to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness. As with any medical procedure, there is some downtime associated with Morpheus8 treatment. Generally, patients can expect some redness, swelling, and minor bruising in the treatment area immediately after the procedure. This downtime typically lasts for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and topical creams recommended by your doctor. In some cases, patients may experience more significant downtime, especially if they have more extensive Morpheus8 treatments or if they have more sensitive skin. Your doctor will be able to provide you with more specific information about the expected downtime for your particular treatment plan. It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your doctor to ensure optimal healing and to minimize the risk of complications. Be sure to also avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise during the downtime period to help your skin heal properly.
Aftercare
Here are some general guidelines for Morpheus8 aftercare:
- Keep the treatment area clean: Avoid touching the treatment area as much as possible for the first 24 hours after the procedure. After that, gently cleanse the area twice a day with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
- Moisturize the treatment area: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to the treatment area as needed to keep the skin hydrated and soothe any dryness or irritation.
- Avoid sun exposure: Stay out of the sun and protect the treatment area with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 if you must be outdoors.
- Avoid strenuous exercise: Avoid exercise and other activities that cause sweating for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid hot showers and baths: For the first few days after the procedure, avoid hot showers and baths, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs.
- Be patient: It can take several weeks to see the full results of Morpheus8 treatment. Be patient and follow all aftercare instructions provided by your doctor.
If you experience any redness, swelling, or discomfort after the procedure, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers and topical creams recommended by your doctor to help manage these symptoms. If you have any concerns or questions about your aftercare, be sure to contact your doctor for guidance.
Number of sessions
The frequency of Morpheus8 treatments can vary depending on the specific needs and goals of each patient, as well as the extent of the treatment performed. However, most patients typically require a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. As a general guideline, it is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks between Morpheus8 treatments to allow for proper healing and skin remodeling. This time frame will allow the skin to fully recover and for the collagen and elastin fibers to rebuild and strengthen, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Is Morpheus8 better than microneedling?
Morpheus8 and microneedling are both effective treatments for skin rejuvenation, but they work in different ways. Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that combines microneedling with RF energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. The device delivers controlled energy to the deeper layers of the skin, which can lead to more dramatic results than traditional microneedling. Microneedling, on the other hand, involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response and promotes collagen production. Microneedling can also improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Morpheus8 may be a better option if you have more significant signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles or sagging skin, while microneedling may be a better option if you have mild to moderate signs of aging or want to improve the appearance of acne scars or hyperpigmentation.
