Radiofrequency Microneedling ( Morpheus 8)

What is Radiofrequency Microneedling (Morpheus 8)?

A minimally invasive cosmetic procedure combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This treatment improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks, and enhances overall skin tightness and rejuvenation.

Am I a Good Candidate?

You are a good candidate if you:

• You have concerns about wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture.
• You are in good overall health with no active infections or serious medical conditions.
• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
• You have realistic expectations about the outcomes and understand that multiple sessions may be required.
• Willingness to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using recommended skincare products.
• You haven’t had recent skin treatments (e.g., laser therapy, chemical peels) that might interfere with the procedure.
• Absence of active skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or severe rosacea in the treatment area.
• Non-smokers tend to have better healing and results, though smokers can still be candidates with proper pre- and post-care.

Benefits:

• Improves overall skin texture and tone, resulting in fresher, glowing skin.
• Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Effectively reduces the visibility of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
• Stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, enhancing skin elasticity.
• Reduces the size of enlarged pores, leading to smoother skin.
• Radiofrequency energy helps to tighten and firm the skin, addressing skin laxity.
• Adjustable needle depths allow for customized treatments targeting specific skin concerns.
• Short recovery period with redness typically subsiding within a few days.
• Suitable for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin.
• A minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures with no incisions or significant downtime.
• Post-treatment application of vitamins and skin boosters is more effective due to increased skin permeability.
• Can promote hair regrowth in areas of thinning hair.

More Details:

Morpheus 8 is a  Microneedling procedure that uses high-speed moving needles to create tiny holes at a constant depth. This depth can be varied depending on the treatment goal: shallow for a superficial rejuvenation or improvement of pigment and deep for wrinkles, stretch marks or scars. The small wounds created by the microneedling device stimulate your skin to synthesize more collagen and elastin. The end result is fresh glowing skin, and improvement of wrinkles, pores, scars and stretch marks, as well as hair regrowth.

The treatment takes about 15-30 minutes, requires some topical anesthesia, and can be enhanced with the application of vitamins and other skin boosters that penetrate to the skin through the microneedling channels. The skin is red for a few days depending on treatment intensity.

Lately new devices combine microneedling that deliver radiofrequency waves to help tighten the skin better than microneedling alone, improving acne scars, finelines & laxity. Microneedling can also be combined with separate radiofrequency sessions or PRP helping to further simulate calogen and elastin synthesis.
