About Morpheus 8

Morpheus8 is an innovative, non-surgical skin care procedure that provides significant anti-aging results with no surgery and little downtime.

Using the latest in microneedling and radiofrequency technology, Morpheus 8 reduces wrinkles, sagging, and scar tissue by targeting the collagen and fatty tissue below the surface of the skin.

How Long Does Morpheus8 Last?

If you’re here, you’re probably wondering, “How long does Morpheus8 last?”

The effects of a Morpheus8 treatment typically last for 12 months to 3 years, which makes Morpheus8 an excellent cosmetic option.

Please note, however, that the results you get from Morpheus8 depend on various factors such as your age, skin condition, environment, lifestyle, and more.

To help you get the most out of your Morpheus8 treatment, we recommend the following:

a. Avoid smoking: One of the most important things you can do for your skin is to avoid smoking. Smoking causes a variety of skin problems, including wrinkling, brown spots, and even cancer. Smoking also irritates the skin, making it more susceptible to other skin problems.

It’s especially important to avoid smoking after receiving a morpheus8 beauty treatment because smoking after your treatment can actually cause serious damage to your skin and even lead to more wrinkles.

By avoiding smoking after your morpheus8 beauty treatment, you can protect your skin from all of the harmful effects that smoking has on it.

b. Apply sunscreen when necessary: Applying sunscreen after your Morpheus8 beauty treatment is essential to preventing discoloration or skin damage. Sunscreen will help protect your skin against the sun’s harmful rays, which can cause unwanted brown patches and age spots.

Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours while outdoors and at least every day when you’re in direct sunlight.

c. Minimize sun exposure: As we just showed you, when receiving a morpheus8 beauty treatment, the technician will likely prescribe a sun protection regimen. This is important to remember after the treatment, as even minimal exposure to the sun can cause hyperpigmentation.

Hyperpigmentation is dark spots on the skin that may be permanent and often occur after excessive sun exposure or excessive use of skin-care products that are high in melanin.

Minimizing sun exposure after your morpheus8 beauty treatment is essential to avoiding hyperpigmentation.

d. Practice regular skincare: Regular skin care after your morpheus8 beauty treatment is important to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

Moisturizers are the key to keeping your skin hydrated and healthy, which will help you look good and also avoid any future skin issues.

e. Schedule regular facial treatments: A facial is a great way to pamper yourself and keep your skin looking and feeling its best. But what happens if you stop getting regular facial treatments? Your skin may start to show signs of aging much faster, which can be exacerbated by sun exposure and other factors.

While morpheus8 alone lasts well over a year, scheduling regular facial treatments after your morpheus8 beauty treatment will help keep your skin looking young and vibrant for many more years to come.

How Quickly Will Morpheus 8 Results Show?

For those unfamiliar with Morpheus8, it works by utilizing microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate collagen and elastin production and remodel fat. This is why Morpheus8 is able to make your skin look smoother and feel firmer.

Since collagen production takes 4 to twelve weeks to complete, major results typically begin to manifest within the first 2 to 3 weeks. But you can see initial results within the first 3 days after treatment.

Something to keep in mind is that one treatment may not be enough to resolve your issue. Depending on the severity of your skin condition, additional sessions may be required before you see desired results.

For example, mild to moderate acne scars require 3 to 4 sessions before you see a significant change. And we would recommend 5 to 6 sessions for severe acne scars.

How Often Should You Get Morpheus 8 Treatments?

Since collagen takes weeks to reach peak production, we space treatments about 6 to 8 weeks apart. However, our treatment intervals vary depending on your skin condition.

Our process hinges on your collagen and elastin production. Once these youth-inducing proteins fall out of peak production, we apply Morpheus8 to stimulate your skin again.

Once you achieve your desired results, additional touch-ups are advised every 12 months to maintain your newfound appearance.

Pre and Post Treatment

You will have a medical exam to check your health and ability to undergo this procedure. The treatment only lasts about 30 minutes.

You will also have local numbing in the treatment area.

After the procedure, expect your skin to be red and tighter and to take about a week to heal.

Being careful in your choice of activities and excessive sun exposure is wise to avoid infection. Apply sunscreen. Also, avoid makeup usage while recovering.

The non-invasive nature of Morpheus 8 allows for a quick recovery period.

Benefits of Morpheus 8 Treatments

The benefits of Morpheus8 include improvements in the following areas:

1. Wrinkles:

Wrinkles are often the result of poor collagen production, which is caused by a combination of factors such as age, genetics, and lifestyle choices. Morpheus8 beauty treatments help to tighten loose skin and improve collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. By using Morpheus8’s unique approach to skincare, you can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore youthful-looking skin.

2. Jowls:

Jowls are fatty tissue that hangs from the lower part of the jawline. They can be aesthetically displeasing and may cause chin strap lines in people who have them. Jowls are also a common site for skin cancer. In people with a genetic disposition, jowls may increase in size and number over time. Morpheus8 beauty treatments use radiofrequency to gently heat the face’s skin after micro-lesions have been conducted. This helps in the repair and resurfacing of the underlying tissue, thus eliminating the jowls.

 

3. Stretch Marks:

While there is no ultimate cure for stretch marks, there are treatments available that can help to stimulate the production of new collagen and warm the dermal layers of the skin. Morpheus8 is a treatment that does just that. By helping to stimulate the production of new collagen and warming the dermal layers of the skin, morpheus8 aids in skin firming and significantly reduces the visibility of any stretch marks you may have.

4. Acne Scars:

Acne scars can be quite a frustrating and distressing sight, but there are ways to help them look better. One popular method is to use beauty treatments that target acne scarring, such as morpheus8. Morpheus8 is not only effective for acne scars, but as we have shown you, it can also reduce the appearance of stretch marks, jowls, wrinkles, and other skin problems. It can even help restore skin elasticity and give people a more youthful appearance.

5. Hyperpigmentation:

Hyperpigmentation is a disorder of the skin characterized by patches of darker than normal skin. It can occur anywhere on the body but is most common on the face and neck. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by a number of factors, including sun exposure, hormones, genetics, and skin cancer. Treatment typically involves using therapy such as morpheus8 to fade the patches and prevent them from returning.

6. Scars From Injury Or Surgery:

You can expect redness or swelling after treatment for Acne Scars. Acne scars can be reduced significantly, even up to 50 percent improvement. The radiofrequency element of this treatment even aids tissue growth, reducing the appearance of scars.

7. Large Pores

With a build-up of oil and dirt on the face, pores can look enlarged, especially as we age and experience sun damage. Even with consistent facial care, you might need to seek out additional assistance. Morpheus 8 might be a great solution for your skin in this regard.

8. Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis can be a difficult condition to cure. Fortunately, Morpheus 8 can help improve it, the tiny injuries from the needles cause the skin to begin healing, which allow for new collagen and lovely smooth skin to form.

8. Hair Loss

Using a combination of RF energy and ultrafine microneedles, Morpheus8 penetrates the scalp to promote blood circulation, facilitate the delivery of essential nutrients to the hair follicles, and activate the body’s natural healing response. This process helps improve the overall health and vitality of the scalp, making it conducive for hair to grow, effectively addressing hair loss concerns. This microneedling can be applied near the hairline and to spot treat areas of concern.

What Is The Morpheus 8 Treatment Like?

For most people, Morpheus8 treatments are only minimally painful and include a prickling sensation and a feeling of warmth.

Patients may also feel some skin tightening after their treatment.

For those with sensitive skin, numbing creams are available before your treatment starts. The numbing cream is applied approximately an hour beforehand.

If you need any breaks during your treatment, just speak to your medical doctor, aesthetician, or esthetician, and they will happily accommodate you.

Collagen: How Long Does Morpheus 8 Last?

As we grow older, our skin is not immune to the aging process. Our body naturally produces collagen, but as we age, collagen production slows down. We begin to see signs of aging that we would like corrected.

Poor nutrition, harmful lifestyle choices, and a stressful lifestyle can contribute to the aging process and the decline of collagen production in the body.

After asking “How Long Does morpheus8 Last?” you might also be asking: “What is collagen?”

Collagen is a protein that affects the skin, bones, and other key structural supports of our body. When your collagen runs out, problems arise.

The good news is that there are options to help with this loss.

There are a multitude of collagen supplements and topical cosmetics available. Exercising and healthy habits are also helpful for you.

Better than trying to filter through the multitude of collagen supplements and trying to decide if they work or do not, Morpheus 8 tackles the source of many skin issues—a lack of collagen.

This is why it might be the right choice for you.

Adipose Tissue: How Long Does morpheus8 Last?

In addition to asking, “How Long Does Morpheus 8 Last?” and “What is collagen?” you might also be asking, “What Is Adipose Tissue?”
