How Does the Morpheus8 Work
- Microneedling: Morpheus8 uses tiny needles that penetrate the skin’s surface to create controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: The device simultaneously delivers RF energy deep into the skin through the micro-needles. RF energy heats the tissues, further stimulating collagen and tightening the skin.
Morpheus8 uses state-of-the-art technology to administer 24 silicone-coated needles beneath the surface of the skin and into the superficial fat. The depth of penetration depends upon the area being treated and desired results. Once the needles are placed, the device delivers a pulse of radiofrequency energy that tightens the soft tissue, coagulates the fat and stimulates the production of elastin and collagen.
Morpheus8 Hardware Details
- Micro-Needles: The Morpheus8 device is equipped with ultra-fine needles, usually ranging from 24 to 30 gauge, which can penetrate the skin at various depths.
- Radiofrequency Technology: Morpheus8 utilizes advanced RF technology that allows precise control of energy delivery. The device can adjust the RF energy level to target specific skin concerns and depths.
- Depth Control: Practitioners can adjust the needle penetration depth, allowing customization based on the treatment area and desired outcomes.
- Handpiece: The device features a handheld applicator with a motorized head that administers the micro-needles and RF energy.
- Safety Features: Morpheus8 devices often include safety mechanisms such as adjustable energy settings, real-time temperature monitoring, and automated control systems to ensure patient safety and optimal results.
Benefits and Considerations
- Non-Surgical: Morpheus8 is a non-surgical procedure, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation without the downtime associated with surgery.
- Minimal Downtime: While there may be some redness and swelling after the treatment, the downtime is generally minimal, and patients can resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure.
- Collagen Stimulation: By promoting collagen and elastin production, Morpheus8 results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
- Customizable: Practitioners can customize the treatment depth, energy levels, and the number of sessions based on individual skin concerns and goals.
Treatment Areas;
- Face: Morpheus8 is commonly used for facial skin tightening, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture.
- Neck: The treatment can address sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles on the neck area.
- Body: Morpheus8 is versatile and can be used on various body areas, including the arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees, to tighten loose skin and improve contour.
Post-Treatment Care
- Skincare Routine: Patients are often advised to follow a gentle skincare routine and use mild, non-irritating products post-treatment.
- Sun Protection: Sunscreen application is essential to protect the treated skin from UV damage during the healing process.
- Avoidance: Patients are typically advised to avoid intense physical activities and hot showers for a short period after the procedure.
- in hair follicles. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin, leading to the destruction of the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
- Permanent Reduction: Laser hair removal can result in permanent reduction, meaning that hair regrowth is significantly reduced, and the remaining hair is often finer and lighter in color.
Treatment Areas
- Common Areas: Hair laser removal can be performed on various body parts, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, arms, chest, and back.
- Precision: Lasers are precise and can target specific hairs without affecting the surrounding skin, making it suitable for both small and large areas.
The Procedure
- Consultation: A consultation with a licensed practitioner is conducted to assess the patient’s skin type, hair color, and medical history. The practitioner will determine the appropriate laser settings based on these factors.
- Preparation: The treatment area is shaved, and a cooling gel may be applied to the skin to enhance the effectiveness of the laser and provide comfort during the procedure.
- Laser Pulses: The laser device is applied to the skin, emitting controlled pulses of light. Patients may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin.
- Multiple Sessions: Hair grows in different cycles, and multiple sessions (usually 6-8) are required to target hairs in their active growth phase effectively. Sessions are typically spaced a few weeks apart.
Benefits and Considerations
- it a quick procedure for large areas.
- Long-lasting Results: While results vary from person to person, many individuals experience long-lasting hair reduction after completing the recommended sessions.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, and any redness or swelling typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
- Skin Types: Modern laser technology can be adjusted to accommodate various skin types and hair colors, although it tends to be most effective on individuals with light skin and dark hair.
Post-Treatment Care
- Sun Protection: Patients should avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen on the treated area to prevent complications and hyperpigmentation.
- Avoidance: Strenuous exercise, hot showers, saunas, and swimming in chlorinated water should be avoided for a short period after the procedure.
Safety and Professional Administration
- Licensed Practitioners: Laser hair removal should be performed by licensed and experienced practitioners to ensure safety and minimize risks.
- Individual Assessment: A thorough assessment of the patient’s skin and hair characteristics is essential to determine the appropriate laser settings and ensure effective and safe treatment.
What to Expect
A Morpheus 8 treatment takes approximately 1 hour. During the treatment you will feel heat and pressure on the treatment area.
You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream to numb the area and minimize discomfort. Other pain-control options are available including Pro-Nox and Mesoram.
Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled inhaled analgesia system that delivers a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture for the relief of pain and anxiety. The effects of Pro-Nox wear off in 10-15 minutes allowing patients to resume normal activity right away including driving.
Mesoram is a multi-needle injection that delivers small amounts of lidocaine to the treatment area. Mesoram is ideal for Morpheus8 treatments as it numbs at varying depths below the skin and as the skin surface.
Following treatment, skin may be slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. Redness should subside within the first 24 hours following treatment. Expect up to 3 days of social downtime. While improvement is noticeable after 1 treatment, to achieve optimal effect, 3-4 treatments are typically recommended
