FACE CONTOURING TREATMENT
The health of our skin not only affects the way we look, but the way we feel. For some of us, the story of our skin reveals struggles that can cause insecurity and embarrassment. Whether it’s wrinkles and skin discoloration, unsightly large pores and acne scarring, or stretch marks and loose skin—these can prevent you from developing the confidence to live life to its fullest.
Many cosmetic treatments often produce temporary results because they don’t do anything to change or improve the way your skin works from the inside. With Morpheus8, radio frequency energy is harnessed to transform your skin from within, resulting in a naturally smoother, firmer, and brighter complexion. This innovative non-surgical treatment is very safe and effective for lifting and tightening the skin, essentially restoring the skin’s natural youth and vitality.
Morpheus8 combines the microneedling method with radio frequency technology for superior results in skin rejuvenation, targeted facial contouring, and precision body sculpting. Microneedles are applied to the skin to penetrate and deliver targeted radio frequency energy into the deeper layers of tissue. This generates heat within the treated tissues, thereby increasing circulation and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Morpheus8 is also very effective for reducing or removing stubborn fatty pockets in delicate areas of the face or body. The microneedles enable the radio frequency energy to gently heat the skin’s deeper underlying tissues and safely melt away the excess fat cells.
Morpheus8 can be used to effectively treat the following:
For most patients, undergoing Morpheus8 treatment is a generally relaxed and pain-free experience. A topical anesthetic is usually applied beforehand to ensure your comfort during the procedure, but you can discuss other pain relief options with your provider if you prefer. Actual treatment duration should take about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas of the face and/or body are being treated.
Because Morpheus8 is a non-surgical procedure, the recovery process should be quite short. You can immediately go back to work and continue any low-impact daily activities right after treatment if you wish, though you may want to wait a day or 2 for your skin to settle down. Your skin may feel warmer, tighter, and a little bit sore after the procedure. Any residual redness or swelling should go away within 2 to 3 days. As part of your post-treatment care, you should use gentle skin care products to clean and moisturize your skin. Make sure to wear non-irritating sunscreen on your skin when you are outdoors or under direct sunlight.
Be sure to avoid makeup, strenuous physical exercise, and skin care products with retinoids and exfoliants for the next 48 hours. It may be advisable to refrain from using such skin care products for at least several days depending on how your skin feels.
Morpheus8 is an exceedingly safe procedure with mostly temporary side effects. Post-treatment symptoms may include mild swelling, minor bruising, redness, peeling, scabbing, and perhaps some oozing on the skin. These should clear up within a week and shouldn’t be a cause for concern. More serious side effects may occur in very rare cases, such as infection, hyperpigmentation, and bleeding.
For most patients, noticeable results will start to appear in a few days. The skin will continue to improve months after the initial treatment, since it takes up to 6 months for collagen to be completely regenerated. Results can be maintained for up to 5 years with healthy lifestyle choices and a good skin care regimen.
Most patients will require 1 to 3 treatments, scheduled between 4 to 6 weeks apart, to get the results they desire. However, more treatments may be needed for the improvement of acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks.
Morpheus8 provides many benefits and advantages compared to other treatments, such as:
