Morpheus8 RF Microneedling

Your skin is an amazing organ. It regulates body temperature, protects you from the sun, and helps you stay hydrated. As we age, our skin can lose elasticity, and collagen production can decrease, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and a dull complexion. Fortunately, there are treatments available with Morpheus8 RF microneedling system.

At Cryo Body Doc in Oakton, Virginia, Dr. David Allingham, MD, MS, uses the Morpheus8 RF microneedling system to improve and enhance the natural look of your skin by increasing the production of collagen and new cells.

What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a fractional RF (radio-frequency) microneedling system used to improve your skin’s appearance. This non-surgical system uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. With this procedure, there is little or no damage to the dermis, and it has a much more uniform effect.

What makes the Morpheus8 different than other microneedling treatments is the depth the needles penetrate the skin. The needles penetrate the subdermal layer, allowing us to mold fat under the skin. The application of thermal energy, combined with microneedling, tightens and contours the underlying fat (adipose) tissue, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed look. It also minimizes the appearance of pores, smoothes the skin, and eliminates scars.

The Morpheus8 Procedure

The Morpheus8 microneedling procedure is performed in-office and usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. During the procedure, a numbing cream or topical anesthetic is applied to the skin to help minimize any discomfort. Then, the Morpheus8 device is passed over the treatment area. The tiny needles puncture your skin while delivering radiofrequency energy and heat below the skin’s surface.

There is no downtime following the procedure, and you can expect to see results within a few weeks, with optimal results typically seen after 2-3 treatments with four weeks between treatments.

Morpheus8 Aftercare and Recovery

After your treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling, which should dissipate within a few hours. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30 or higher when outdoors. Avoid using exfoliating products and harsh cleansers for the first few days following your treatment. In most situations, you should be able to resume your regular makeup routine a day after your procedure.

Am I a Good Candidate for Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a versatile fractional treatment that can be used on most skin types and areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, stomach, arms, and legs.

If you suffer from the following conditions, the Morpheus8 may be the right treatment option for you:

• Fine line and wrinkles
• Nasolabial folds
• Jowls
• Loss of skin elasticity
• Dull complexion
• Large (dilated) pores
• Mild sagging

Morpheus8 vs. Surgery

Morpheus8 is a minimally-invasive treatment that does not require any anesthesia or incisions. The procedure is quick and easy, with little to no downtime. Morpheus8 can treat various skin concerns, from wrinkles and fine lines to acne scars and uneven skin texture.

Surgical procedures are more invasive and require a longer recovery time. A facelift, for example, requires anesthesia and incisions to tighten the skin on the face and neck. Facelift surgery can take 2-3 hours to perform and usually requires 2-4 weeks to recover. Facelifts also carry additional risks, including infection, bleeding, and swelling.

Additionally, facelifts are typically only used to treat concerns on the face and neck, whereas Morpheus8 can be used on many different areas of the body.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Results will vary depending on the area being treated and the condition being treated. Your results will last if you take good care of your skin, which means wearing sunscreen during the day, treating acne breakouts as soon as they arise, and using suitable skincare products for your skin issues.
