Morpheus8
Radiant & Beautiful Contours
Morpheus8 is a new subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that fractionally remodels and contours the face and body. Penetrating deep into the skin and fat, this morphs the aging face of body into a more desired smooth and sleek appearance, for all skin tones. Morpheus8 can penetrate deeper into the skin than any other microneedling device, going as deep as 4mm. Patient comfort is a major advantage of this device because of the sharper needles and tiny punctures it causes in the skin without tugging or pulling. M8 can be used for, but is not limited to treating wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks surgical scars and more.

What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. Morpheus8 is unique as it can penetrate 4mm deep, which results in fat melting so you can truly contour and morph different parts of the body.
Which areas can be treated?
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the lower face and neck. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions. It also depends how aggressive your treatment is and the severity of laxity and skin quality. I suggest always buying packages of 3 for optimal results.
How quickly will I see results?
Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.
How long should I wait in between treatments?
4 weeks.
What is the benefit of fractionated energy?
Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen and fat. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.
Can anyone us Morpheus8?
The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated.
What is the benefit of RF energy?
RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalize the collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
Can this be used with other treatments?
Yes, Morpheus8 can be used in the same treatment session, or a few days after other treatments.
When can I put make-up on after treatment?
Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 1 to 2 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters.
What kind of post procedure care is required?
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) aka Vampire Facial
At an additional cost PRP can be added to achieve even better results and decreased downtime, it helps you recover faster and helps to enhance collagen formation even more.
What Is different If PRP Is added?
While you are getting set up for the Morpheus 8 your provider will draw your blood and spin It down to concentrate the plasma and remove the red cells. After the Morpheus 8 treatment Is completed, the plasma will be massaged onto your face.
What else Is required If I want to have the PRP added?
No aspirin 7 days before or 10 days after. No Ibuprofen for 3 days before or 10 days after as it can interfere with the growth factors needed to stimulate the collagen formation. No alcohol the night before and try to be as hydrated as possible the day you will get your blood drawn.
