Individuals of all ages want skin tightening. Morpheus 8, offered by Ideal Face & Body in Beverly Hills, CA, combines microneedling with radiofrequency to significantly improve the signs of aging.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes the appearance of scars and age spots, tightens skin and improves the texture and tone of the skin. Morpheus8 amplifies collagen production while also melting away some underlying fat. That means this treatment can also provide light contouring.
What Difference Does Radiofrequency Energy Make?
Radiofrequency heats deeper layers of the skin in a way that stimulates collagen production and melts fat. Radiofrequency energy has been scientifically proven to increase collagen production and minimize wrinkles.
Where Can This Be Performed on the Body?
Morpheus8 can be performed all over the body. The most common areas are the face, jawline and neck, arms, buttocks, thighs, knees, abdomen, flanks, and bra rolls.
What is the downtime after Morpheus?
Patients often say their skin feels tight at the end of their treatment, but this will go away quickly. Most individuals can return to their normal schedules the next day. During the first couple of days after your treatment, your skin may be sensitive and slightly swollen. Avoid direct sun exposure and keep your skin moisturized. You will also be asked to refrain from applying makeup for a day.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Patients often need several treatments, each spaced six to eight weeks apart, to get the results they’re hoping for. We’ll make a recommendation about how many treatments you need based on your skin and the cosmetic concern you’re trying to address.
How Quickly Will I See My Results?
Patients often notice some improvement immediately after their treatment, but their results will continue to develop over the next three to four weeks as collagen levels build. The best results are seen several weeks after their final treatment.
How Long Will My Results Last?
Morpheus “sets the clock back” as far as aging is concerned. Most patients enjoy their results for years. To help preserve your results, avoid smoking and sun exposure. We recommend boosting your results with medical grade skin care such as YovinoMD Beauty®.
How Does This Compare to Traditional Microneedling Treatments?
Morpheus creates numerous micro-channels in the skin, which promotes collagen development. Morpheus pins also release radiofrequency into the deep layers of the skin, encouraging it to tighten. The heat associated with the radiofrequency further enhances collagen development, giving patients more dramatic results.
Who A Candidate for Morpheus?
1. Patients Who Are in Good Health
Almost any patient in reasonably good health can qualify for this treatment. It is safe on all skin types.
2. Patients Looking To Rejuvenate Their Skin
The patients who seek out Morpheus usually want improvement of their skin, whether it be acne scarring or signs of aging. This treatment is particularly popular among patients of all ages who want to fight back against the first signs of aging. Morpheus is popular with patients who have acne or acne scarring that topical medications have been unsuccessful to address. Morpheus is also beneficial for patients that want to melt their double chin.
3. Patients Who Have Healthy Skin
If you have lesions, wounds, sunburn, or other types of inflammation on the skin in the zone you want to be addressed, we may need to postpone your treatment until the skin heals.
