MORPHEUS8

Morpheus8 is a groundbreaking skin treatment that combines the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and improve skin texture and tone. Unlike traditional microneedling, which only targets the superficial layers of the skin, Morpheus8 reaches deep into the dermis, delivering precise and controlled energy.

The treatment process begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once the numbing cream takes effect, a handheld device with tiny microneedles is used to create microchannels in the skin. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is emitted through the microneedles, heating the underlying layers of the skin.

This combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. These essential proteins help to tighten sagging skin, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and minimize hyperpigmentation. The precise delivery of energy allows for controlled heating of the deeper layers of the skin, while protecting the surrounding tissue.

To understand the science behind Morpheus8, it's important to explore the principles of radiofrequency and microneedling individually.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy has been used in the medical field for many years, particularly in aesthetic treatments. When applied to the skin, RF energy converts into heat, causing controlled thermal injury to the underlying tissue. This thermal injury stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to tighter, smoother skin. Additionally, RF energy helps to remodel existing collagen and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin.

Microneedling, on the other hand, involves the use of tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin. These channels stimulate the body's natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin. By creating controlled micro-injuries, microneedling also allows for better absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.

When combined, radiofrequency and microneedling create a synergistic effect, maximizing the benefits of both treatments. The microneedles create the microchannels necessary for optimal delivery of RF energy, while the RF energy amplifies the effects of microneedling by stimulating collagen production at a deeper level.

Morpheus8 offers a multitude of benefits for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation.

First and foremost, this innovative treatment effectively tightens sagging skin, providing a lifted and more youthful appearance. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin naturally decreases, leading to skin laxity. Morpheus8 stimulates the production of these essential proteins, resulting in firmer and tighter skin.

Additionally, Morpheus8 is highly effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy targets the signs of aging at their source, stimulating collagen production to plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles.

The treatment also improves skin texture and tone, making it an ideal solution for individuals with uneven skin texture or rough skin. Morpheus8 helps to remodel existing collagen, promoting a more uniform skin surface and reducing the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.

Furthermore, Morpheus8 can effectively minimize hyperpigmentation and sun damage. The controlled thermal injury caused by the RF energy encourages the production of new, healthy skin cells, while breaking down excess pigmentation.

You will have a consultation with one of our team to discuss your concerns.  They will conduct a medical history and examination.  They will assess if you are suitable for Morpheus8 treatment and if this is the best option for your issues.  They may make recommendations for other treatments that may complement or be better than Morpheus8. 

There will be some redness immediately following your treatment.  You can usually apply make up after 1-2 days.  It can take up to 1 week for all redness to settle.

Some treatments such as laser may not be suitable for darker skin types.  This treatment may be used in darker skin types.

There are many radiofrequency and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments currently available.  The Morpheus8 delivers the radiofrequency directly to the deeper layers using micropins.  This is a major advantages of this device compared to other devices.  Morpheus8 also a number scientific publications supporting the beneficial effects of treatment.

There will be some redness immediately after your treatment. Some visible results may be seen within a few days but the most noticeable results occur after a few weeks.  There is continued improvement in the results for up to 6 months after treatment since collagen formation usually takes some time.

This will depend on the area and degree of laxity but most patients will require 3 treatments for the best results.  These are usually spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

You will have some local anaesthetic numbing cream applied to the treatment areas.  Our doctors will also use some nerve block local anaesthetic injections to help numb the areas.  This means you experience less pain compared to just numbing cream.  This allows our doctors to deliver optimal energy settings for better results.

After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild tenderness in the treated areas. These side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. It's important to follow your provider's aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding excessive sun exposure and using gentle skincare products.

Results from Morpheus8 are typically noticeable after the first session, with optimal results appearing in the weeks following the final treatment. The production of collagen and elastin takes time, so gradual improvements in skin texture, tone, and tightness can be expected over several months.

Patients often ask if "will Morpheus8 work for me?" This device provides a versatile treatment that can benefit a wide range of individuals. Ideal candidates for Morpheus8 include those who are looking to:

- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines

- Tighten sagging skin

- Improve skin texture and tone

- Minimize acne scars and stretch marks

- Address hyperpigmentation and sun damage

Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types and can be customized to address specific concerns. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or skin conditions may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. It is important to consult with a qualified doctor or therapist to determine if Morpheus8 is right for you.

While Morpheus8 is a highly effective treatment for skin rejuvenation, there are alternative options available that may better suit your needs. Some alternatives to Morpheus8 include:

- Laser skin resurfacing: Laser treatments use focused beams of light energy to target specific skin concerns, such as wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. Laser skin resurfacing can be ablative, removing the outer layers of the skin, or non-ablative, targeting the deeper layers of the skin without removing any tissue.

- Chemical peels: Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation and stimulates the production of new, healthy skin cells. Chemical peels can be customized to address various skin concerns, including wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars.

- Dermal fillers: Dermal fillers are injectable substances that add volume to areas of the face, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and restoring youthful contours. Fillers can be used to plump up lips, smooth out nasolabial folds, and enhance cheekbones.

- Thread lifts: PDO thread lifts can help lift some loose skin in the face.  These threads are placed under the skin and offer a pulling action to improve jowls and other areas of the face.

When considering alternative treatments, it is important to consult with a qualified provider who can assess your specific concerns and recommend the most suitable option for you.
