The world has plenty of beauty treatments that nourish the skin, restore volume, and offer a radiant aesthetic. These are important during your mid 40s and 60s, when you experience rapid bursts of aging (like a second and third puberty). The skin starts sagging more than before, age spots are more frequent than ever, and wrinkles become more pronounced.
Procedures like Morpheus8™ represent a modern technology that blends the best of two worlds: heat and collagen induction. Its dual power makes it a skin-remodeling powerhouse, bringing results in the long term. When part of a good plan, it can help you achieve the best skin yet.
How Does Morpheus8™ Work?
Morpheus8™ combines the power of RF energy and microneedling to trigger the skin’s natural repair process. On one hand, we have a handheld device that uses tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin. The body’s healing response reacts to these microinjuries deep in your dermis, activating the fibroblasts. In turn, this creates more elastin and collagen in the targeted area.
At the same time, radiofrequency (RF) energy is sent through the needles and heats the deep tissue. This triggers the healing process, going deeper than the needles ever could. RF technology has shown an ability to boost collagen production from 9 percent to nearly 26 percent in just three months, giving more structure to your facial features.
One treatment session is usually enough to obtain beautiful results in the case of reduced skin laxity. However, if your issues are more on the moderate side, you may need about three to four sessions spaced every four to six weeks. If your issues are severe, then four to six or more sessions spaced accordingly may do a better job.
What to Expect After the Procedure?
After the procedure, the skin will go through a brief healing process, similar to a mild sunburn. That said, this is a sign that the skin has “activated” and that the transformation has begun. After the healing stage passes, you may notice the following changes to the skin.
-
Improved Skin Tone
Morpheus8™ triggers the body’s healing process, which also encourages cell turnover. This is useful once you are past your 30s or 40s, as skin cell turnover diminishes with age.
Within a few weeks of the treatment, you may notice less blotchiness and dullness of the skin, with fewer pigmentation marks. Regular treatment can even help women and men with melasma and other pigmentation issues, such as freckles.
-
Fewer Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Collagen starts rebuilding after the Morpheus8™ treatment, eventually maturing and creating more structure. Within two to three months, the skin becomes plump and supple, softening fine lines and wrinkles on various areas of your face.
The procedure also strengthens the existing collagen fibers, which is why the skin should already start feeling tighter in the days after the procedure.
-
Reduced Acne Scars
Acne scars happen because there’s not enough collagen to fix the small wounds on the skin caused by a breakout. As the collagen structure is disrupted, pits start forming, in many cases made worse by discoloration.
Morpheus8™ restarts that healing process and triggers a healthier production of collagen to heal and fill the acne pits while fading breakout-induced discoloration.
-
Skin Lifting and Tightening
The new production of collagen and elastin doesn’t just smooth the skin; it gives it sufficient structure so it can effectively retract. Patients enjoy a lifting effect in areas where the skin has begun to sag, such as the neck, jawline, and even the cheeks. This is a good solution for those who are bothered by jowls or other age signs like sunken cheeks.
-
Smaller Pores and Textural Issues
Pores start getting bigger once your body loses its ability to create as much collagen. As the follicles open, the skin starts exhibiting a rough texture, making it difficult to apply your occasional makeup and look natural in the process.
Enlarged pores also leave more space for bacteria and dirt to become trapped, leading to acne. Morpheus8™ shrinks those pores, making the surface of the skin look smoother.
Areas for Morpheus8™ Treatments
Morpheus8™ is a procedure primarily used to treat the face, neck, and decolletage. This is because those areas are the first to show signs of aging in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and elasticity loss. Providers may use the procedure to improve the skin structure along the jawline and cheeks, giving you a lifting effect and a youthful glow.
That said, Morpheus8™ also works well on other areas of the body, such as:
- Arms
- Abdomen
- Buttocks
- Thighs
- Back
Any area that deals with elasticity loss can be treated with Morpheus8™. The needles and radiofrequency trigger collagen production in a broader area, improving both the texture and its hold. It can also be used for stretch marks, making it a good option for those who have lost weight and are now dealing with sagging skin.
You should not use Morpheus8™ on areas where you have active infections or inflammation, as it could worsen your symptoms. Wait until the symptoms fade for the best results.
Morpheus8™ can be used on darker skin tones with caution, but it’s not a good option for tanned or sunburned skin. These areas are more reactive and can increase the risk of pigmentation and sensitivity.
