All About Morpheus 8

---

After some powerful numbing cream and little laughing gas, tiny gold-plated needles penetrate the skin and create micro-injuries, while radiofrequency energy is simultaneously released. The body responds to these injuries by naturally healing the area and flooding it with collagen and new skin cells. New collagen makes the skin stronger and firmer at the foundational level, and new skin cells give a fresh new glow to treated areas. 

 No. Morpheus8 and microneedling are not the same treatments. Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses a device fitted with tiny needles to penetrate the skin’s surface in a continuous, rolling pattern. Microneedling is an excellent treatment, but Morpheus is both deeper plus adds radiofrequency energy. Morpheus tightens, firms and recontours. It’s definitely a few steps up from microneedling. 

Morpheus8 results appear in stages – both soon after a patient’s first treatment, and in the weeks to follow. In the days following treatment, patients will notice that their skin is smoother and more radiant. Within the following weeks, lines and acne scars fade and the patient’s skin becomes tighter and more contoured. The most dramatic results appear three months after a patient’s first Morpheus8 treatment. 

Morpheus8 addresses a broad range of concerns including smoothing skin texture, fading wrinkles and scars, and even treating active cystic acne. Each patient’s treatment plan and settings are customized depending on the individual’s desired outcome, budget, and downtime.

Morpheus8 excels at offering multiple skin benefits in one session. Individual treatments provide a nice overall anti-aging collagen boost while firming skin simultaneously. The most dramatic results are visible when Morpheus8 is done in a series of three treatments (moderate-depth setting). To treat active acne, CSLC recommends booking one monthly Morpheus session for four consecutive months. 

Morpheus8 is FDA-approved and considered a safe treatment option for reducing the appearance of sagging skin, wrinkles, and lines.
