Do you ever start scrolling through old photos in your camera roll and notice signs of aging on your face? You sit and think to yourself, “How could my skin have changed that much in just a few years?!”

Well, once you hit your mid-twenties, your body’s natural collagen and elastin production starts to decrease (These are the major structural proteins that help to preserve your skin’s youthful appearance). By age 35, this decrease has likely led to a loss of volume in your cheeks as well as thinner skin overall.

While collagen can be stimulated by topical skincare products and laser treatments, elastin is much harder to reach. It has a slow turnover rate, which is why it can feel so frustrating to find a solution for sagging skin. We haven’t come across the fountain of youth quite yet, but we have discovered the next best thing, Morpheus 8!

What is Morpheus 8?

Morpheus 8 is a safe, minimally-invasive treatment that utilizes a combination of microneedling and radio frequency technology to promote a more youthful appearance in the face, neck, and body. It reaches deep underneath the skin to stimulate both collagen and elastin production. This depth is what sets Morpheus 8 apart from other cosmetic dermatology procedures and allows skin definition to be restored in the treatment area.

What Does Morpheus 8 Do for My Skin?

Morpheus 8 was designed to prompt tissue remodeling. It pulls the skin tight against your bone structure, similar to the results of a facelift but without surgery! While the procedure’s main intention is to contour and rejuvenate skin on the face and neck, Morpheus 8 can also reduce the visibility of scars and stretch marks across the abdomen, legs, buttocks, arms, hands, or chest.

What Should I Expect During Treatment?

A patient can expect the entire procedure to take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. But, the amount of time our aestheticians will take to complete one Morpheus 8 session depends on what area of the body you are having treated. Since Morpheus 8 is minimally invasive, you will experience little to no downtime. However, you should avoid exercise for 24 hours after and avoid putting on makeup for 48 hours. There is a chance your skin may feel like it has a moderate sunburn, warmer and tighter than usual, but this is no reason to worry!

How Long Does Morpheus 8 Last?

Results can last up to 12 months after just one single treatment! Results vary depending on each patient’s unique skincare journey but for the best results, we recommend getting three treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This frequency allows results to last on average 2 to 5 years. 

Am I a Candidate for Morpheus8?

Morpheus 8 uses color-blind technology making it safe for people of all skin tones, without risk of burns or hyperpigmentation. It is the best treatment for patients who want to reduce skin sagging and other signs of aging without having to undergo more invasive treatments. Anyone who is in generally good health could qualify for this treatment!
