Morpheus8 is a FDA-cleared, cutting-edge skin rejuvenation device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten and smooth the skin. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, essential proteins for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful skin with a radiant complexion.

Morpheus8 combines the microneedling method with radio frequency technology for superior results in skin rejuvenation, targeted facial contouring, and precision body sculpting. Ultra-thin microneedles are applied to the skin to penetrate and create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while simultaneously delivering targeted radio frequency (RF) energy into the deeper layers of tissue. This generates heat within the treated tissues and triggers the body’s natural healing response, thereby increasing circulation and stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and tighten the skin.

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 offers superior results by combining microneedling and RF energy in one treatment, providing enhanced skin tightening and rejuvenation. It is suitable for all skin types, requires minimal downtime, and delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results. Patients experience smoother skin texture, smaller pores, reduced acne scars, fewer fine lines and wrinkles, a more defined jawline, and overall firmer, tighter skin.

For most patients, undergoing Morpheus8 treatment is a generally relaxed and pain-free experience. A topical numbing cream is applied to the target area beforehand to ensure comfort. The Morpheus8 device is then used to deliver the microneedling and RF energy. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

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.

While many patients see significant improvement after just one session, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Most patients achieve optimal results with 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Dr. Guthrie will create a personalized treatment plan during consultation based on your specific needs and goals. 

Some improvements may be visible within a few days, but the most significant results typically appear after several weeks as collagen production increases. The skin’s texture and tone will continue to improve over the next few months, since it takes up to 6 months for collagen to be completely regenerated. 

Results from Morpheus8 treatments typically last up to one year. Periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain the rejuvenation effects and keep your skin looking its best. Depending on factors like lifestyle and skin type, some patients’ results can be maintained for up to 5 years with healthy lifestyle choices and a good skin care regimen.
