FAQ'S of the MORPHEUS8
What Is the MORPHEUS8?
The Morpheus8 is a high intensity focused, radio-frequency micro-needling treatment, meaning it combines the properties and benefits of both radiofrequency technology and microneedling procedures. The Morpheus8 induces the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating controlled micro “injuries” in the skin, which, in turn, prompts collagen and elastin production—the two key proteins responsible for skin firmness, tightness, and smoothness.
What are the benefits of Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 has a ton of benefits for skin on both the face and neck and body—and it's all thanks to its ability to trigger your collagen and elastin production. Some of the biggest benefits patients experience after a Morpheus8 treatment include:
Smoother skin texture with smaller-looking pores
A reduction in acne scars and marks
Less noticeable fines lines and wrinkles
A more "snatched" jawline and more sculpted cheekbones
Skin that looks firmer, tighter, and lifted
How long does an appointment for a MORPHEUS8 treatment take?
The exact time depends on the area that is being treated. A Morpheus treatment begins with the application of a topical numbing agent, and requires a full hour of absorption to minimize discomfort during the treatment. Following numbing, the Morpheus treatment itself typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete a full face treatment.
Does the MORPHEUS8 treatment hurt?
While the treatment can sound daunting, we ensure that our patients are comfortable throughout the entire procedure. A topical numbing agent is applied 30 minutes prior to aid any discomfort. The Infini needle tips are microscopic; However, the Infini treatment can cause some discomfort and has been said to feel like a pricking sensation with some heat. Areas with deeper imperfections may cause more discomfort than areas with superficial imperfections.
When can I expect to see results from my MORPHEUS8 treatment?
You can expect visible improvement within a few days. The most noticeable results appear typically in about three to four weeks, however, skin improvements can continue for up to three months following your treatment. Your results will continue to improve as time goes on. The microneedling technology stimulates collagen production in your skin’s structure. As your skin heals over the tiny pinpricks, you will see more rejuvenated skin than ever. In other words, your Morpheus8 treatment results will only improve with time.
How long do results from MORPHEUS8 results last?
Typically, Morpheus8 results can be expected to last between 1-3 years. This wide variation is influenced by one's lifestyle, genetics as every skin type is unique and individuals will react to the treatment differently.
