How Morpheus8 Works: Skin Tightening for the Face and Body

Gravity can be a darn beast to deal with when it comes to your skin and body. Your skin can start to sag with time or even after a weight loss. Diet and exercise just sometimes don’t cut it! You need help and thankfully there are procedures that can make you feel great in your own skin. Enter the wonders of Morpheus8!

What is Morpheus8 and how does it work?

We are glade you asked! Morpheus8 is a safe and effective minimally invasive modular RF (radio frequency) fractional solution for full-body remodeling. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Morpheus8 combines radio frequency energy with microneedling to remodel the collagen in those deep layers of the skin, called the dermis.

What is microneedling? It is a skin tightening technique that uses tiny pins to prick the skin and go between 2-4 millimeters deep, depending on your needs. This creates a smoother appearance to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, scars, as well as remove facial fat, hanging jowls, and double chin by going deep. This is a great option for contouring to create a younger, slimmer, and sharp effect.

Why is collagen production important? Collagen is an important protein that is the key to maintaining that plump look to the skin needed to avoid sagging. Over time our bodies naturally decrease the production of collagen. Boosting the body’s natural production of collagen allows the body to do the heavy lifting and makes for long lasting results. This also means that it will be less obvious to people in your life to visibly see you have had any procedures done, as the body will begin producing more collagen on its own over a period of time.

Morpheus8 body effectively remodels skin and tissue with minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It can be used on darker skin tones with no risk of thermal damage. If you have uneven skin tone or want to contour the face to create a smoother, sleeker look then Morpheus8 could be the right choice for you. This anti-aging treatment is very hot right now for both men and women and it can even be used on the body in addition to the face.

What areas can be treated with Morpheus8 microneedling?

Morpheus8 can be used on both the face and the body to contour and aid in that stubborn sagging skin.

Morpheus8 body can be used on the following areas:

  • Chest

  • Arms

  • Legs

  • Abdomen

  • Buttocks

How quickly will I see results from a Morpheus8 treatment?

You will notice the first visible results within a few days. Typically the most noticeable results appear after three weeks. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment as the body continues to boost its natural production of collagen. Therefore, immediately after the treatment, you will have redness in the area, but by the following day in most cases that redness has subsided. This is why we really like this treatment option for so many folks- it’s quick to do, with little down time, and not readily obvious that you have had a procedure done!
