If you are looking for a completely non-invasive treatment option to improve the appearance of the skin in different parts of your body, then Morpheus8 Body may be right for you. Morpheus8 Body is the only FDA-approved radiofrequency technology that remodels subdermal adipose tissue up to eight mm. Morpheus8 Body is a quick and effective way to treat larger body parts to reduce fat and remodel and resurface the skin. To achieve the desired results, it is usually recommended to have at least three to six sessions with four to six weeks in between each session allowing for three to five days recovery time after each session. The total amount of time it takes to heal from each session is approximately three to four weeks. Initial improvements in skin tone and texture occur after the first session. Improved skin elasticity and tightening occur after the second and third sessions. Approximately three to six months after each session is when collagen production usually occurs. If you are trying to improve the appearance of acne scars, then it is recommended to take at least six sessions of Morpheus8 Body. Nonetheless, using Morpheus8 Body multiple times will enhance the results even further, and the effects depend on your age, lifestyle characteristics, and treatment goals. The use of Morpheus8 Body is generally considered safe with a very low risk of complications, such as redness or slight bruising. The treatment also has low downtime of three to five days, where usual activities can be resumed almost immediately, although you should avoid significant sun exposure and the use of skincare products during this time period.
Morpheus8 for the face, neck, and areas of the body is a microneedling treatment that is quickly gaining popularity among dermatologists, aestheticians, and other providers. It uses fractional radio-frequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of the skin. Microneedles penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy to the deeper layers during a session. This process results in a decrease in wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and other common complexion concerns.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a revolutionary treatment that can help improve wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging with an FDA-cleared device. Morpheus8 uses microneedling technology and radio-frequency energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve skin tone and texture.
The Morpheus8 treatment is a minimally-invasive treatment but should be performed with the right experienced medical professionals. The treatment is relatively quick, and no downtime is required afterward. Some patients may experience some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours or days.
What Skin Concerns Can Morpheus8 Treat?
The Morpheus8 treatment is suitable for all skin tones and requires little or no downtime. Various skin concerns can be addressed with Morpheus8 treatments. When handled by an experienced individual, it can:
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of sagging skin by firming and tightening it
- Ensure smooth skin
- Ensure that pores do not appear large
- Relieve acne scarring and hyperpigmentation
- Reduce the appearance of stretch marks
- Remove a small amount of fat just beneath the skin (not enough to reduce facial volume significantly)
Morpheus8 works by creating microscopic channels, which allow the device to deliver radio-frequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This energy then helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that support smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Several areas on the body can benefit from the Morpheus8 Body 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).
What Happens During a Morhpeus8 Session?
Prior to treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to the area to make it more comfortable.
On the treated area, 1-3 passes will be conducted with the Morpheus8 device. Using the special applicator with coated pins, fat and connective tissue will be gently warmed, resulting in tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, and overall rejuvenation.
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. 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.
Morpheus8 Recovery and Aftercare
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.
You can take care of your skin after a Morpheus8 treatment by:
- Staying away from anything that irritates your skin until it has healed
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and use sunscreen daily with a minimum SPF of 30
- Utilizing products containing growth factors, peptides, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin and to maintain your results after the initial healing process is completed.
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
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.
