Morpheus8 in West Lafayette and Kokomo

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, which triggers the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting.

How Does Morpheus8 Work?

Over time skin can lose its elasticity, leading to wrinkles, lines, and sagging. Using targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and rebuild collagen, Morpehus8 can be used to treat skin concerns on both the face and body. The resulting effect is plumper, firmer, tighter, and smoother skin in as few as 2 to 3 treatments. The Morpheus8 is FDA approved as an effective and minimally invasive modular RF fractional solution for full body subdermal adipose remodeling. It is the first and only device to diminish fat in delicate areas in addition to skin tightening. It is great for diminishing extra fat underneath the chin and can even target larger areas such as cellulite on the thighs and buttock.

What Can I Expect During a Morpheus8 Treatment?

With the Morpheus8, topical numbing is applied to the treated area to limit the discomfort. The numbing is applied one hour prior to the treatment. In most cases, a treatment is only 20 to 45 minutes to complete one area, depending on the size of the treated area. During the procedure, a handheld device is pressed into the specified area of the skin, allowing microneedles to penetrate the skin. Once the microneedles are inserted within the skin, they deploy radiofrequency (RF) waves to penetrate deep into the dermal layer. This easy, safe treatment delivers excellent results for all skin types. You can expect mild redness and swelling immediately post procedure which tends to subside within 1 to 2 days. Results are generally seen within 8 weeks after treatment with continued improvement over a 12-week time span. A series of 3 treatments is recommended to achieve desired results.
