Morpheus8 is an advanced fractional skin treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and remodel the deeper layers of the skin. This non-surgical procedure is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and tightness, addressing various skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sagging skin.
Morpheus8 utilizes a unique combination of microneedling and RF energy to deliver controlled heat deep into the skin. The microneedles create micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response, while the RF energy heats the underlying layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This dual approach enhances skin rejuvenation and remodeling. At RA Clinics, we offer Morpheus8 treatments to help our patients achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What is the Procedure Like?
The Morpheus8 procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to ensure patient comfort. During the treatment, the Morpheus8 device is passed over the skin, delivering microneedles and RF energy simultaneously. Patients may experience a mild warming sensation and slight pressure during the procedure.
Does it Hurt?
Thanks to the use of a topical anesthetic, the Morpheus8 treatment is generally well-tolerated. Some patients may feel a mild warming or prickling sensation during the procedure, but any discomfort is usually minimal. Post-treatment, there may be some redness and swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.
What Will It Do?
Morpheus8 effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This results in improved skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and a more even skin tone. The treatment is also effective for tightening sagging skin and reducing the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. Overall, Morpheus8 provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation and remodeling.
How Many Sessions are Needed?
The number of Morpheus8 sessions required varies based on individual skin concerns and desired results. Most patients achieve significant improvements after 1 to 3 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. During your consultation at RA Clinics, the dermatologist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
How Long Does the Treatment Last?
The results of Morpheus8 are long-lasting, with many patients noticing continued improvements for several months after the treatment. The collagen and elastin production stimulated by the procedure can lead to ongoing skin improvement for up to a year or more. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the results over time.
Aftercare and Recovery
Post-treatment care is essential for achieving the best results with Morpheus8. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure, apply a high-SPF sunscreen, and follow a gentle skincare regimen. Redness and swelling are common immediately after the procedure but should subside within a few days. Following the aftercare instructions provided by the dermatologist at RA Clinics will ensure optimal healing and results.
