Everyone’s appearance changes with age. You may notice wrinkles forming around your eyes (crow’s feet), skin sagging around your jawline, and a general loss of definition on your abdomen. These are all natural signs of aging.
But if you feel less confident in your skin over the years, you can try amazing treatments designed to revitalize your appearance and cultivate a more youthful look.
Morpheus8 is one of the most advanced solutions, with the power to achieve incredible results. I’ll explain how it works, and how it can improve the appearance of skin on the face and body, below.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an innovative treatment platform created by InMode. It can be used to treat different areas of the body to help patients achieve different goals, from improving the appearance of wrinkles to toning sagging skin.
The Morpheus8 platform combines two powerful treatment methods:
- Microneedling
- Radiofrequency (RF) technology
Microneedling is a popular rejuvenation technique: a handheld device uses numerous small needles to penetrate the skin and create micro injuries. This stimulates the body’s healing process, and promotes production of collagen and elastin (two essential proteins for maintaining strong skin).
With Morpheus8, tiny needles deliver RF waves into the skin’s deeper layers to further stimulate collagen and elastin production with thermal heat.
The platform’s dual handpieces provide trained technicians with the flexibility to treat different zones as required. As a result, patients can choose from two types of treatment: Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Body.
What is a Morpheus8 Face Treatment?
The facial treatment is a powerful way to target common signs of aging in one or more sites. It can be used to address a wide range of issues, including:
- Sagging skin on the face, neck, and jawline
- Saggy jowls
- Acne scarring
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Double chin
- Uneven skin texture
Visible signs of aging are a natural part of growing older, but some can be easier to accept than others. Each of the above cosmetic issues can have a negative impact on an individual’s self-confidence. But this remarkable technology is capable of transformative results that leave patients with a beautiful, youthful glow.
How Does it Work?
Morpheus8 facial treatments combine microneedling and RF energy to naturally lift, smooth, and rejuvenate skin. Technicians use the handpiece designed for smaller sites to work on the face and neck only.
A free pre-treatment consultation is an important part of the process. I’ll discuss the reasons why you want to try the treatment, assess the target area(s), and answer any questions you have.
I’ll adjust the depth and frequency of the handpiece to align with your goals. That ensures that the needles and RF energy reach the right points. The Morpheus8 can penetrate more deeply than alternative microneedling, RF, and laser treatments designed to tighten skin. Its maximum depth is 8mm.
What are the Benefits?
The facial treatment offers the following benefits:
- Tighten sagging skin to create a firmer, more youthful look
- Reduce the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines
- Improve the appearance of acne
- Reduce the visibility of acne scars
- Target different areas of the face to suit diverse aesthetic issues and goals
- Uses the body’s natural healing process and proteins to rejuvenate skin
- Achieve incredible results without the downtime or discomfort of a traditional face-lift
The downtime is minimal: any swelling, redness, or bruising that appears will fully resolve in one to three days. That makes Morpheus8 face treatments a convenient option if you want to avoid disrupting your lifestyle.
What is a Morpheus8 Body Treatment?
The body treatment utilizes the platform’s microneedling and RF energy to target larger areas. It can be used in the following zones:
- Arms
- Knees
- Stomach
- Thighs
- Neck
- Buttocks
How Does it Work?
During your Morpheus8 Body session, I’ll move the larger handpiece over the sites you want to target carefully. The microneedles will penetrate the skin in a cleaner and more comfortable way than in traditional microneedling procedures. That prevents the device from pulling on the skin, which makes for a more relaxing and straightforward experience.
The Morpheus8 Body handpiece can address a variety of issues, including sagging skin and stubborn pockets of fat. As with facial treatments using the Morpheus8 platform, I’ll begin by scheduling a free consultation to discuss your goals, concerns, and anything else related to the procedure.
What are the Benefits?
Morpheus8 Body treatments provide the following benefits:
- Tighten and tone areas of sagging skin, such as the upper arms (or “bat wings”)
- Reduce the appearance of stretch marks
- Make scars less noticeable
- Reduce the visibility of cellulite
- Target stubborn pockets of fat
- Create a smoother, more youthful skin texture
This treatment can make a significant difference to signs of aging on multiple parts of the body, whether you want to improve the skin around your knees or tighten your abdomen.
How Long Do Morpheus8 Treatments Take?
The length of your session will depend on the zones you want to target (e.g. face or body). However, on average, sessions typically take between 20 and 60 minutes.
That can vary, though, based on your goal, skin type, and other factors. I always take a tailored approach to these and other treatments and will give you a more accurate idea of your session’s length after a consultation.
How Long Until I See Results with Morpheus8?
You’ll start to see an improvement in your skin’s overall texture and tone within just a few days of your treatment. Skin will be noticeably tighter within around three weeks, with less sagging in the target areas. Full results will be visible after approximately three months.
To achieve the finest results, I recommend that you undergo three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. That will give your skin time to respond to each session before the next. The results should last around one year, and I suggest scheduling yearly visits to maintain the effects.
