What is Morpheus8?

Your skin can lose elasticity with age, causing lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Blame it on the stressful life, unhealthy diet and pollution that these ageing signs have become more rapid than ever. But the good news is that there is a safe, non-surgical way of treating these ageing signs. Morpheus8, a micro-needling device, utilises radiofrequency technology to give your neck, face, and body a youthful appearance. In addition to skin tightening and lifting, Morpheus8 is an FDA approved Subdermal Adipose Remodelling Device (SARD) to reduce fat in delicate areas.

What are the Benefits of Morpheus8?

Radiofrequency fractional energy is a scientifically proven method to rebuild collagen, remodel fat, reduce wrinkles, tighten loose skin, and minimise acne scarring. The benefits of Morpheus8 include:-

  1. Minimally invasive procedure without any cuts or anaesthesia 
  2. Enables radiofrequency to renew the deepest layers of the skin
  3. No discomfort
  4. Little downtime
  5. Shorter treatment time
  6. Quicker results
  7. No side effects

Who needs Morpheus8?

Most women and men aged 30 to 55 who want to reduce signs of ageing without undergoing a more invasive treatment are ideal candidates for Morpheus8. Anyone with rough skin texture, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or wrinkles can get the procedure done. Moreover, Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types, ranging from dry and normal to oily and sensitive skin. 

You are not ideal for this treatment if you have an internal defibrillator, pacemaker, or other electronic or permanent implants. Furthermore, you should avoid the treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The treatment is effective for non-smoking individuals with no serious medical conditions.

Morpheus8 is an effective solution for facial rejuvenation as it helps in achieving several corrections simultaneously. The treatment can help reduce the appearance of:-

  1. Fat accumulation in the face and neck
  2. Acne scars
  3. Body and facial scars
  4. Sun damage
  5. Facial sagging and jowls
  6. Fine wrinkles and lines
  7. Stretch marks

How is Morpheus8 Different From Other Micro-needling Treatments?

The doctor moves a small needle-clad applicator across your skin in a standard micro-needling treatment. The needles in the applicator reach a depth of approximately 2mm. However, in Morpheus8, the needles reach a depth of 4mm, stimulating changes within the skin’s foundational structure. Furthermore, unlike other micro-needling treatments, Morpheus8 has radiofrequency technology that gently heats subdermal adipose tissue for a more deep toning and tightening of the skin.

 

How is Morpheus8 performed?

The Morpheus8 treatment typically follows these steps:-

  1. Your doctor will use topical numbing cream on the treatment area to limit the discomfort. 
  2. He/she will press a handheld device into the area, allowing microneedles to perforate your skin. 
  3. Once in place, the microneedles will emit radiofrequency waves. 
  4. The heat from these waves will penetrate deep into the dermal skin layer, tightening the skin and correcting the fat. 
  5. The complete procedure does not take more than two hours. 
  6. Depending on the extent of improvement desired, you may need two to four treatment sessions. 

What Can You Expect Before Morpheus8?

  1. Your doctor will review your medical history to ensure you are suitable for the procedure. 
  2. He/she will examine the areas to be treated. 
  3. To avoid bruising and swelling, you will be asked to stop taking NSAIDs such as aspirin, naproxen, and ibuprofen one week before the treatment.
  4. You should avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before the procedure. 
  5. Your doctor may prescribe certain medications to minimise the risk of bruising. 
  6. Avoid any irritant type topical products such as retinol, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids, and beta hydroxy acids three days before the treatment. 
  7. Discontinue smoking and consuming alcohol two days prior to the treatment. 
  8. The doctor will explain the procedure and home-care tips to be followed after the procedure. 

What Can You Expect on the Day of the Morpheus8?

  1. On the day of the treatment, shower as usual. 
  2. Do not apply lotion, cream, powder, or oil to the treatment area. 
  3. Cleanse your face and neck but do not apply makeup. 
  4. Tie your hair with a hairband. 

What Can You Expect During the Morpheus8?

  1. In your doctor’s office, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area and left for 45 to 60 minutes to minimise discomfort. 
  2. There is no need for IV line administration and anaesthesia in the procedure. 
  3. The doctor will perform the procedure. 
  4. As it is an outpatient treatment, you can go home the same day. 

What is Recovery and Post Op Care After Morpheus8?

  1. Immediately after the procedure, you may feel like your skin has a moderate sunburn. 
  2. Your skin may feel tighter than usual. 
  3. Small needle marks may be present on your skin for a few days up to a week. 
  4. You may experience minimal pinkness or redness for upto one week. 
  5. While you may experience mild itching 1-2 days after the surgery, avoid scratching the treated area. 

Aftercare Instructions

  1. Wash your hands before touching your face. 
  2. Use a soothing face wash or cleanser to cleanse your face. Wash the face with lukewarm water and pat dry until the treated skin heals. 
  3. Use a clean towel and pillowcase to prevent infection. 
  4. Use a gentle moisturiser on the skin until it heals. 
  5. Avoid direct sunlight for at least 24 hours post-treatment. 
  6. Avoid swimming for at least 24 hours. 
  7. Do not apply makeup for at least 36 hours post-treatment. Clean your makeup brushes, applicators, and sponges before use. 
  8. Apply sunscreen with an SPF 30 before any sun exposure. Do not use chemical sunscreens. 
  9. Do not engage in strenuous activities for 2-3 days to avoid heavy perspiration.
  10. Do not take anti-inflammatory medications for one week. 
  11. Avoid using retinol, vitamin C, acids, and alcohol-based toners for two weeks in treated areas. 

First Follow-Up Appointment

You will typically have a follow-up appointment three to five weeks after each treatment session. During the appointment, your doctor will examine your results.
