Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target subdermal layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and resulting in a firmer, smoother complexion. This treatment is becoming increasingly popular in the UK for its effectiveness in reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and other signs of ageing or skin damage. Many celebrities, such as Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian, and Amanda Holden, have already used it. We will explore how much Morpheus8 costs in the UK.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with small needles to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin. This energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, which are crucial for maintaining youthful, elastic skin. The treatment can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, and legs. The micropins deliver the energy at different levels under the skin to get the benefits.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Morpheus8 in the UK
There are a number of factors that will affect the cost of Morpheus8 in the UK. Some of these include:
1. Expertise
The practitioner's experience and qualifications can significantly affect the cost. Highly experienced plastic surgeons, dermatologists, or doctors may charge more, but they also offer a higher level of expertise and safety. Our doctors at CLNQ can deliver nerve blocks that can help reduce the discomfort during the procedure.
2. Treatment Area
The size of the treatment area plays a crucial role in determining the cost. Treating larger areas, such as the abdomen or full face, will typically be more expensive than smaller areas, like the brow or jawline. We offer different prices for specific areas, and you can find out more about our prices below.
3. Number of Sessions Needed
Most patients require multiple sessions to achieve the best results. The total cost will depend on the number of sessions booked. At CLNQ, we offer packages at a discounted rate for multiple treatments. This can help reduce the cost of Morpheus8 when packages are booked.
4. Clinic Facilities
The standard of the clinic’s facilities can also impact the cost. Clinics should be registered with the CQC. This means that a high standard of care needs to be delivered and they are monitored. There may be places that offer Morpheus8 or equivalents at lower prices but they may not be safe in terms of sterility and standards of the premises.
5. Morpheus8 vs Equivalents
There are a number of providers that claim to offer Morpheus8, but they are actually using cheaper devices that may not be as effective. The Morpheus8 by Inmode has had numerous scientific research articles showing benefits whilst other devices may not have had any research or development. It is important to make sure your provider is using an official Morpheus8 device.
Typical Costs of Morpheus8 in the UK
The cost of Morpheus8 treatments can vary widely based on the above factors. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from £500 to £1,500 per session, depending on the area. A full course of treatment typically involves 3 to 4 sessions, which could bring the total cost to between £1,500 and £6,000. At CLNQ, our Morpheus8 prices start from £400 for the eyes. The Morpheus8 treatment for the face is from £750 and the body from £900.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Before the treatment, the doctor, nurse, or therapist usually applies a topical anaesthetic to the target area to minimise discomfort. If the doctor is performing the treatment, they may also perform a nerve block. The Morpheus8 device is then used to make small punctures in the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy at various depths, depending on the desired outcome.
The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Since Morpheus8 is minimally invasive, recovery time is relatively short. Most people can return to their normal activities within a day or two, although some might experience redness and swelling for a few days.
Morpheus8 Aftercare and Results
Aftercare for Morpheus8 treatment is straightforward. It includes avoiding direct sun exposure and using high SPF sunscreen, as well as possibly applying soothing creams or ointments as recommended by your practitioner. Results can start to appear within a few days, with improvements continuing for up to three months as the skin produces more collagen.
Conclusion
Morpheus8 is a promising option for those looking to reduce signs of ageing and improve skin texture without undergoing more invasive procedures. The cost can be significant, but many find the results to be worth the investment. When considering Morpheus8, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified practitioner who can provide detailed information tailored to your skin type and treatment goals, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes.
