What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 for the face is a revolutionary treatment that can help improve wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging with an FDA-cleared device. It uses microneedling technology and radiofrequency energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve skin tone and texture.

The Morpheus8 treatment for the face is a minimally-invasive treatment that can take place in a doctor’s office. The treatment is relatively quick, and no downtime is required afterward.

How It Works: Morpheus8 works by creating microscopic channels, which allow the device to deliver radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

Skin Concerns Treated

The Morpheus8 treatment is suitable for all skin tones and requires little or no downtime. Various skin concerns can be addressed with Morpheus8 treatments.

Reduce fine lines and wrinkles | Firm and tighten sagging skin | Ensure smooth skin | Minimize large pores | Relieve acne scarring and hyperpigmentation | Reduce stretch marks

During a Session

  • Preparation
    Prior to treatment, numbing cream may be applied to the area to make it more comfortable before the microneedling begins.
  • The Treatment
    On the treated area, 1-3 passes will be conducted with the device. Using the special applicator with coated pins, fat and connective tissue will be gently warmed, resulting in tighter skin and overall rejuvenation.
  • Session Details
    Most people require three treatment sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The entire treatment session will last for about 30 to 60 minutes.

Morpheus8 Recovery

Recovery from Morpheus8 is relatively easy, with only a few days of social downtime involved. For approximately one to three days following treatment, you may experience redness, itching, and swelling.

What To Expect

After the treatment, you may notice some redness and swelling in the treated area, but this is normal and should resolve within a few days. Follow your provider’s instructions carefully to ensure the best healing process.

Aftercare Best Practices

  • Gentle Cleansing
    Turn over scabbing and crusting with exfoliating cleansers and enzymatic masks as directed.
  • Sun Protection & Care
    Stay away from anything that irritates your skin until it has healed. Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30.
  • Skincare Maintenance
    Utilize products containing growth factors, peptides, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and retinol to maintain your results after the initial healing process is complete.

Results & Expectations

Typically, patients will see initial results within a few days after their treatment. However, full results may take three to six months to appear, as collagen production takes time. But the results from Morpheus8 are long-lasting, and patients can expect to see a gradual and significant improvement in the appearance of their skin with maintenance sessions.

There are several places on the body that can benefit from the treatment, including the abdomen, buttocks, chest, arms, and knees, but it is widely used on the face and neck (particularly to treat jowls, to firm the jawline, and to enhance the area around the mouth).
