The most amazing part of Morpheus8 is how natural the results are leaving you looking radiant without screaming- I’ve had work done! We think that is super important to have the most natural looking beautiful you shine through which is why here at Perich Aesthetics, it is one of our favorite treatments.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology for fractional resurfacing that stimulates collagen production. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production for a smoother and sleeker appearance. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect.
Microneedling is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen. During the procedure, we insert a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. This treatment helps to improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment. The most commonly treated areas include the face and neck, as well as the abdomen which is beneficial for tightening loose skin with underlying fatty tissue.
There are actually two difference devices one specifically for the face and neck area and one specifically for the body. The areas of the body that can be treated include the chest, arms, legs, buttocks, and abdomen. Morpheus8’s modular tips enable procedures to be customized for large or small body areas.
How Quickly Will I See Results from Morpheus8?
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. This is due to the fact that Morpheus8 treatments stimulate the production of collagen in the area treated. As a key structural protein, collagen is the reason our skin has elasticity and our joints are healthy by binding tissue in the body. By increasing the production of collagen our body is making naturally, you have lasting effects on your appearance and can help to maintain the healthy joints and muscles you have.
Why is collagen important? As we age, our production of collagen can decrease. Our bodies break down collagen faster than we can produce it. Environmental aspects can also play a role, like smoking and too much sun exposure. A diet high in sugars and carbs can also inhibit the bodies production of collagen.
Boosting the production of collagen our body is making naturally can have lasting effects on our appearance and can help to maintain the healthy joints and muscles we have. Additionally, there are foods that contain collagen that can help. Utilizing the combination of boosting and consuming will help us age gracefully rather than rapidly.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Morpheus8 body treatment?
The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is common with other resurfacing methods. Anyone who is looking to tighten skin, target fat, reduce cellulite, and create a smoother sleeker appearance can be a good candidate.
What Kind of Post Procedure Care Is Required?
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process. We always recommend using sunscreen any time you are going out in the sun and should use it daily on your face to prevent early aging and protect your skin.
What is Morpheus 8 Prime?
Morpheus 8 Prime is a final touch facial treatment designed for subdermal/dermal remodeling of periorbital, perioral, nose, and small hard to reach areas.
The Prime tip has 12 pins instead of 24 and the tip is much smaller than a regular Morpheus 8 tip. Morpheus 8 Prime treats small areas and helps reach corners closer to the eye, rejuvenating delicate skin on the lower and upper eyelids. Morpheus8 Prime restores youthful appearance in hard to reach areas, effectively reduces bags underneath the eyes, and improves wrinkles, dark circle, and texture of the skin. It is a highly recommended treatment for patients who struggle with tired looking eyes, eye bags, and crow’s feet.
