MORPHEUS8 PRO Forma & Fractional RF Microneedling

Fractionated RF microneedling is an excellent treatment for overall improvement in skin tone, texture, and firmness. The procedure is often performed on the neck and lower face to minimize the appearance of jowls and fat accumulation beneath the chin. Morpheus8 can smooth lines and wrinkles, enhance the radiance of the skin, and also minimize acne scarring and enlarged pores.

Adults who are interested in addressing jowls, nasolabial folds, and other early signs of aging are generally good candidates for Morpheus8 microneedling. Clinical studies have demonstrated a high safety and efficacy profile among all skin tones and types.

Before commencing with RF microneedling, we apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. Once numbing has occurred, we utilize a small handpiece to administer microneedling. During the procedure, this handpiece is placed against the skin and the treatment platform delivers RF energy through the microneedles. The applicator is removed from the surface and moved to the adjacent area where additional energy is inserted. This process continues over the entire treatment region, which could be limited to the lower face or span the entire face.

Each Morpheus8 treatment is specialized to the patient, but on average you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions.

Every situation is unique. We discuss the recommended number of treatments after conducting a thorough consultation and assessment of needs. Some people can achieve their desired results from just one treatment. More dramatic results are achieved through a series of 2 to 4 treatments. Morpheus8 treatments are scheduled 3 to 5 weeks apart to allow full tissue healing to occur.

The results of tissue remodeling begin to appear within a few days of Morpheus8 treatment. Over the course of several weeks, the skin looks firmer, smoother, and more radiant.

Yes. We offer Morpheus8 as a standalone treatment as well as with other treatments. These options can be discussed during your consultation with Doctor in CIDK clinic.

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 2 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.

Patient comfort is important to us. A local anesthetic applied to the skin can be expected to facilitate comfort throughout the procedure. Patients may feel mild sensations in certain areas but these are temporary and are not painful.

Morpheus8 deposits radiofrequency energy into the dermis. This can result in mild sensitivity and dryness. Patients are encouraged to use sunscreen mindfully as a way to avoid UV damage as skin is healing. Additionally, moisturizers may need to be applied more frequently to support the skin as it recovers. Makeup should be avoided for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

Morpheus8 is microneedling with radio frequency with adjustable depth (up to 4 mm) fine surgical pins. At the end of these fine pins, radio frequency waves are emitted. What this means is that you get a double whammy when it comes to skin rejuvenation and tightening. The microneedles cause a controlled injury that results in formation of new collagen and elastin (the fibers responsible for skin tightening). In addition, the radio frequency wave also stimulate collagen and elastin formation. So, you have skin rejuvenation occurring from 2 different formats!! It is a great alternative to surgery if you are not ready to undergo the knife.

It takes 28 days to form new collagen. During those first 28 days, your skin will be reorganizing and remodeling deep into the subcutaneous layer of tissue. So, sit back and wait for the transformation! After just one Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect to continue to see changes in your skin for up to 3 months. Once the remodeling has occurred, you may opt for a 2nd treatment to further your improvement. Nothing will freeze you in place forever, however, it does give you a new starting point! Morpheus8 bridges the gap between surgery and topical lotions/treatments.

Morpheus8 microneedling with radio frequency is most often used on the face and neck to help with deep wrinkles and lines, jowls, double chin, turkey neck, thick neck, undereye bags, smoker’s wrinkles, crow’s feet, large pores, crepey skin and forehead wrinkles. It is also used on other areas of the body such as the stomach, legs, and arms to decrease crepey skin, tighten skin and decrease fat. It is also used for hyperhidrosis (sweating under the arms).

Typically clients want to come back in 12-18 months for a maintenance treatment.

After your Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect swelling, redness and possibly some bruising as it is causing a controlled injury to get your collagen and elastin jump started again. This will last about 3-5 days. For the first 3 days, you will be instructed on what products to apply to the treated area. After 3 days, you can apply camouflage make-up. Day 4-5 you will have slightly flakey skin. After 5-7 days, your skin is looking back to normal. You can go back to work the day after the procedure, but frequently clients who work, come in on Thursday evening or Friday and recover without make-up over the weekend. By Monday, you are good to go! Those who don’t work, often have Morpheus8 performed on Monday and recover during the week so they are ready to go on the weekend!

Yes, Morpheus8 decreases the appearance of stretch marks.

Visible results can begin to be seen 1-2 weeks after your first treatment.

The best results are seen after 3 weeks as this is when the production of new collagen and elastin will start to take effect.

Results can last up to 3-6 months following your last treatment.

Yes, Morpheus8 is a great addition to other non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers to help you achieve a natural result.

It is also a great treatment to have after plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift to help maintain your results.
