About Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is an advanced microneedling treatment that renews your skin with radiofrequency energy. During the treatment, fine needles penetrate your skin at various depths to promote collagen and elastin production. This process helps to tighten and smooth the skin, reduce wrinkles, and improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types, and we can perform the treatment on both the face and body for powerful skin rejuvenation.

Morpheus8 is an effective treatment for renewing your skin because the radiofrequency can address multiple skin concerns during one appointment. Microneedling also triggers fibroblast growth factors which create collagen (protein) and elastin in your skin. This helps to improve your skin’s elasticity over time. The treatment can also improve your circulation to help reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes ⁽²⁾ for brighter, more radiant skin.

Preparation

To prepare for your Morpheus8 treatment, you will need to:

Avoid blood thinners, supplements, and medications as advised before the treatment.
Discontinue any skincare products containing retinoids or acids at least one week prior.
No smoking in the weeks leading to your appointment and throughout recovery.
Arrange transportation to and from our office since it is advisable not to drive immediately after the procedure.

It is also important that you avoid sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your appointment. If you do experience sun damage, we will need to delay your treatment until your skin heals. Taking good care of your skin can help you experience the best results for smooth, radiant skin.

Procedure

During your procedure, we will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort during the procedure. Dr. Levine will use a small hand-held device to penetrate your skin with tiny needles that deliver radiofrequency and heat to stimulate collagen production and renew your skin barrier. The needles create micro-injuries that are not visible to the naked eye but provide powerful skin rejuvenation benefits.

By leveraging your body’s natural healing processes and boosting collagen production, we can renew your skin without the risk of anesthesia or surgical scars. During the treatment, radiofrequency and heat rejuvenate and tighten your skin for a smoother look. The energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin while the needles renew the surface to rejuvenate your complexion, and the procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Most patients experience the best results after a series of treatments over several months. However, the number of treatments you need will depend on the condition of your skin and the results you would like to achieve.

Recovery

After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. You must avoid washing your face for the first 24 hours and we will provide specific instructions to help you recover. Dr. Levine may also recommend skin care products to help your skin heal based on your skin type and any skin conditions you have. During your recovery, you must avoid sun exposure. You will also need to moisturize your skin and wear an SPF to protect it from damage.

Since the treatment improves your skin by stimulating collagen production, it can take some time for the treatment to renew your skin barrier.

Most patients notice the best results after a series of treatments.

Additional Skincare Treatments

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers add volume to your skin for a natural appearance. The minimally invasive treatment can restore volume loss from aging and Dr. Levine can combine dermal fillers with Morpheus8 for a complete makeover. During the treatment, we can administer the filler with a thin needle for improved volume to rejuvenate your complexion without anesthesia or the risk of scarring associated with facial implants. Afterward, you can enjoy long-lasting volume and a plumper, more youthful complexion.

BBL Hero Therapy

Broadband light (BBL) therapy can help you achieve smoother, more radiant skin by improving pigmentation issues from sun exposure, aging, or melasma. BBL Hero administers energy to your skin rapidly to improve its appearance for a healthier, smoother look. As you age and the levels of collagen in your skin decline, it is common to start to see age spots appear that affect your complexion and self-esteem. By increasing the levels of collagen in your skin with BBL treatments, we can help you improve your skin tone and texture while reducing hyperpigmentation for a smoother appearance. We can apply the light to your skin with a hand-held device. You may feel some warmth while the laser energy penetrates the skin barrier to increase levels of collagen for a smoother, more radiant, and youthful-looking face.

Emtone

If you are struggling with skin laxity and cellulite in addition to signs of facial aging, we can combine your Morpheus8 treatment with Emtone to help break up cellulite for a smoother, more youthful appearance. While Morpheus8 improves skin texture and tightness, Emtone targets cellulite by combining radiofrequency energy and targeted pressure energy, reducing fat deposits and enhancing skin elasticity. The comprehensive skin tightening treatment improves your skin’s texture and increases collagen production which is ideal for patients seeking to achieve smoother, firmer skin.
