How does Morpheus8 work?

Microneedling is a facial resurfacing treatment that uses tiny needles to prick the skin. By creating these micro-injuries, our body stimulates new skin cells and collagen. (Collagen is the most prevalent protein in your body that contributes to skin elasticity). By creating these micro injuries, our body then stimulates new skin cells and collagen.

Morpheus8 takes microneedling to the next level. By emitting a radiofrequency energy which causes skin tightening. It also adds a heading element, which promotes new collagen and elastin at a much faster rate, resulting in smoother and tightened skin with greater elasticity.

Am I a good candidate for Microneedling?

The best candidates for this procedure are patients experiencing common signs of aging or skin damage. This can include rough skin texture, wrinkles, discoloration and acne scars. Suitable candidates have realistic expectations of the possible results of this procedure. They are committed to several sessions and willing to give their skin the time and care it needs to heal between sessions. This treatment is not ideal for someone with an ongoing chronic skin condition, or someone who is currently pregnant, experiencing active acne breakouts, or is in poor overall health.

What are the target areas for Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 can be used to treat the face, skin and chest. But unlike most microneedling treatments, Morpheus8 can also be used to treat larger areas of the body including the abdomen, arms, legs and buttocks. This new FDA cleared technology is changing the lives of men and women. In the past, microneedling was not available for all skin types, but Morpheus8 is different. It can treat skin types!

Men and women have been choosing Morpheus8 as a long term solution to help them maintain smooth, silky resurfaced skin. Morpheus8 can essentially treat any area that shows surface irregularities including wrinkles, discoloration, sun damage, stretch marks, scarring, or rough texture. This treatment has been gaining in popularity because it can be used on sensitive areas of the body such as under the eyes and on the cheeks.

What is the recovery like? What are the side effects?

This is a common question asked before any new treatment. Side effects can include redness and swelling to the treatment area, which typically subsides within a few days. Microneedling sometimes creates miniature scabs that will become visible within the first 24-72 hours following treatment. It’s important to let the skin heal naturally, any scabbing will shed once the underlying skin has completely healed. Patients love Morpheus8 because you can expect visible results so quickly. Within one month of treatment you can appreciate enhanced skin tightening.

How many treatments should I get?

The number of treatments needed depends on your goals, skin type, and desired results. Each person is different and some patients will require more sessions than others. Most LUX patients can expect to have 3-4 sessions typically spaced about a month apart. Although you’ll notice a difference following the first session, optimal results are achieved by patients who are consistent with their treatment schedule.
