Have you ever looked in the mirror, only to be disappointed by deep lines or persistent acne scars that just won’t fade? We are beautiful no matter what, and if your appearance upsets your mood, there are steps you can take to smooth away your insecurities. Treating the signs of aging early on can help make it easier to manage than if you wait to address them later on in life. 

Invasive procedures used to be the only effective way to smooth out wrinkles and achieve a more youthful and firm appearance. However, new technologies have taken over the beauty and health industry. Now women have widespread options that are truly effective in combating aging or skin concerns. An effective needling treatment for acne scars and aging is available to save the day.  Morpheus8 treatment can successfully target deep-rooted skin issues with the latest in technology. What’s even better is that the non-invasive treatment can work to improve your overall skin texture permanently.

You can expect little downtime. Say goodbye to face puffing lasers and going under the knife to solve your aging woes. Morpheus8 is perfect for you if you’re looking for a more youthful appearance and clearer complexion without the added downtime. 

What is Morpheus8?

Skin Rejuvenation. The Procedure Is Performed on the Back of the Patient.

Maybe you have heard about Morpheus8, or you’re sitting there wondering what is Morpheus8? It is a skin treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency energy to improve texture, wrinkles, scars, and more. Are you feeling skeptical? Just google Morpheus8 before and after pictures to see the jaw-dropping results for yourself. 

Morpheus treatment is a needling treatment for acne scars and anti-aging. The Morpheus8 device encourages collagen production by penetrating the skin to achieve fractional resurfacing. You no longer need to ask, “What is Morpheus8?”

Fractional resurfacing means the laser energy is broken up into thousands of tiny beams to treat specific areas of the skin. The laser energy targets the second layer of skin, the dermis, encouraging total resurfacing and reproduction of new skin cells. The old damaged cells are eliminated. The Morpheus8 device facilitates a faster, but natural anti-aging process. 

Morpheus8 treatment does not damage the dermis. Instead, Morpheus treatment creates tiny injuries to the surface of your skin so that your body produces more collagen to heal and resurface your skin. Morpheus8 results can be seen right away and continue to improve over time. The treatment is not just exclusive to your face. Any area of the body that could use sub-dermal renewal will benefit from Morpheus8 treatment & expected results include a youthful glow and clearer skin.

Where to Get Morpheus8 Treatment

You can use the Morpheus treatment on areas of your body that could benefit from reduced scarring and anti-aging. Some women like to target specific areas of their faces or body. Or, you can opt for more treatment areas. The treatment is tailored to precisely what you’re looking to achieve. Need some inspiration? Many women opt for treatment to correct the following areas:

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

The number of treatments you need completely depends on a professional recommendation and your specific case. Typically, we recommend anywhere from one to three treatments. Morpheus8 results can be noticed immediately, and they will continue to improve as the skin regenerates. 

The Procedure

During the procedure, you will not experience any serious discomfort. Because of this, you will not need anesthesia or any intravenous sedation. Instead, a topical numbing cream is used for your comfort, and that is all. Once your skin is numb, you are ready to have the procedure. Your medical aesthetician may ask if you would like to participate in photos because Morpheus8 before and after photos can be quite dramatic. It could be interesting to track your progress to see how much the treatment helps you.

Once the numbing cream has worked its powers, you are ready for the Morpheus8 device. The device looks a bit like a small gun, except the mouth has tiny needles used to transfer the radiofrequency energy. Our approach is customized to meet your needs. The needle tips vary in length, and your doctor will choose how deep penetration is needed for your skin concerns. The needling treatment for acne scars and anti-aging will last about one hour. However, more extensive treatment areas may take a bit longer.

Recovery

There actually is little to no downtime with the Morpheus treatment. You can resume daily activities as you need to and return to work soon after the procedure. At most, patients experience swelling, redness, or bruising. We recommend using an ice pack to help these symptoms subside. The recovery process is usually less than one hour. However, you can expect a full recovery and eased symptoms in three days. Patients react differently, and it is important to listen to your body. If you develop a severe reaction, call your doctor right away. The recovery process for this treatment should be easy and simple. Your skin may feel slightly tight after the procedure. 

Depending on the patient, slight redness can linger for about one week. You may notice small lesions on the skin after treatment. This is from the needling portion, and it is a sign that the energy was delivered to your dermis. You can wear makeup one to two days following the treatment if you would like. However, be sure to ask your treatment professional. 

Be sure to drink plenty of fluids after the treatment to encourage healing and hydration. Maybe take the rest of the evening off and watch your favorite show or work from home. It is imperative you avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks. You should also apply a post-procedure high-quality sunscreen each morning because your skin is very fresh. If you were to be sunburnt at this time, you could risk developing skin cancer.

In fact, we recommend our patients incorporate daily sunscreen in their routine. Sunscreen usage can help you avoid developing wrinkles and sunspots while protecting your skin from developing cancer.
