Transform Your Skin’s Health, Texture, and Tone with Advanced Radiofrequency Technology
Many seek treatment for acne scarring, wrinkles and uneven skin texture dampening their appearance. Traditional resurfacing like laser therapy requires extensive downtime and carries risks. Now there is a remarkable new option – Morpheus8 fractional RF microneedling.
Using patented bipolar radiofrequency and adjustable depth technology, Morpheus8 delivers fractionated thermal energy to various tissue depths. It stimulates neocollagenesis and subdermal renewal through controlled micro-injuries. This approach requires less recovery while addressing multiple concerns effectively in one session. With minimal risks and improved comfort, Morpheus8 provides a safe, versatile solution for natural skin remodeling.
Understanding the Morpheus8 Technology
Morpheus8 is a microneedling treatment developed by InMode Aesthetics that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with the microneedling technique. It stimulates remodeling in the adipose tissue of the dermis and promotes tissue thickening and tightening. The device uses ultra-thin needles that emit RF energy to create controlled injuries in the skin, prompting collagen and elastin production.
Morpheus8 is differentiated from traditional microneedling approaches in its use of radiofrequency. By delivering controlled thermal energy to targeted depths via microneedling, Morpheus8 aims to further promote the skin’s natural collagen production and remodeling processes.
This technique attempts to potentially provide additional efficacy compared to mechanical microneedling alone. However, more research would be needed to fully understand its comparative effectiveness.
Radiofrequency in Morpheus8
Radiofrequency (RF) works by delivering electromagnetic energy into the skin via the microneedling treatment. This energy transfer allows for controlled heating of targeted tissue depths. In Morpheus8, RF energy travels through ultra-fine needles to stimulate the natural healing process.
The precise microneedling prime tip of the Morpheus8 device helps ensure customized care. Its 12 electrodes facilitate personalization, with the ability to focus on specific concerns at adjusted levels within the skin. This personalized approach aims to address a range of needs for each individual patient.
Depth Fractional and Multi-Level Treatment Depths
Morpheus8 is designed to target subdermal tissues and adipose tissue, which are deeper layers of the skin. By delivering RF energy approximately 4mm deep into the tissue, it promotes tissue remodeling, thickening, and tightening.
The device allows for adjustable treatment depths, which can be personalized based on each patient’s specific needs. This customization ensures that the treatment is tailored to address individual concerns and achieve optimal results.
The Benefits of Morpheus8 Treatment
Collagen Production and Sub-Dermal Renewal
Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production, which is a natural anti-aging process that helps to firm and brighten the skin. The controlled injuries created by the needles prompt the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen production and tissue remodeling. This remodeling includes thickening and tightening of the skin, resulting in improved skin texture and appearance.
Addressing a Variety of Concerns
Morpheus8 addresses a variety of skin concerns including acne scarring, skin laxity, mild sagging, nasolabial folds, sun damage, and stretch marks. It can also improve skin texture, even out skin tone, and treat hyperpigmentation and dark spots. For acne scarring specifically, Morpheus8 can treat different types of scars, active acne lesions, and inflammatory acne lesions.
Skin Resurfacing and Improvement
Morpheus8 improves skin texture and resurfaces the skin. It treats poor skin texture, rough skin texture, and enlarged pores. Compared to other resurfacing methods, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF energy, enhancing effectiveness by delivering heat to deeper skin layers. This stimulates collagen production and subdermal renewal for a more youthful appearance.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Treatment Session and Patient Comfort
Comfort is prioritized during treatment. Options aim to minimize any potential unease, such as topical anesthetics. Well-trained providers work with each patient to devise a tailored plan balancing efficacy, convenience and comfort. Multiple sessions may be recommended to continuously evaluate progress, however the needs and preferences of the individual help determine the ultimately ideal approach.
Aftercare Process and Healing
The procedure creates controlled micro-injuries and micro-lesions in the skin via the microneedling. This triggers the natural healing process over subsequent days. In the first few days, patients may experience redness, swelling or flaking. A broad-spectrum sunscreen should be used and direct sun exposure avoided to prevent pigmentation issues as healing occurs.
Continued Improvement and Results
Healing and results may continue evolving after the final session as new collagen deposits form. Gradual, balanced renewal of the skin characterizes most patients’ experiences in the months following the final treatment. Ideally, this restoration of contour and quality enhances one’s natural appearance over time through a personalized series of sessions, if and as deemed suitable between patient and provider. Ongoing assessment helps ensure comfort and satisfaction throughout.
Morpheus8 vs. Other Procedures
Morpheus8 offers faster treatment times compared to invasive procedures like laser treatments, surgical procedures, and aesthetic surgery. It also has minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities sooner versus invasive procedures.
Comparison of Morpheus8 with Other Treatments
Morpheus8 vs. Microneedling
Morpheus8 is a fractional treatment using bi-polar RF technology to deliver energy more deeply into the skin. It stimulates adipose tissue reproduction in the dermis, improving wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro punctures and promote collagen production. Both are effective, but Morpheus8 offers more significant results and may be more costly.
Morpheus8 vs. Secret RF Microneedling
Both effectively tighten skin and resolve laxity, acne scars, sun damage and other imperfections. Morpheus8’s needles penetrate deeper layers, reducing appearance of moderate to severe acne scarring and loose skin. Secret RF Microneedling also incorporates RF energy. Both have similar effects, but Morpheus8 may be more suitable for moderate to severely depressed acne scars.
Morpheus8 vs. Vivace
These treatments take customized approaches. Morpheus8 may be well-suited for those seeking to address deeper structural skin changes like laxity or acne scarring, as it works within subcutaneous layers using RF microneedling. Meanwhile, Vivace aims to treat more superficial signs of aging on the skin surface through its multi-modal protocol. Both offer valuable options, but the choice depends on individual goals and skin evaluation by a medical provider.
Safety and Risks
| Minimal Risk | Morpheus8 is considered safe for all skin types and tones with minimal side effects like temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising subsiding after a few days. |
