As we age, our skin can lose its youthful vitality, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and texture imbalances that make us appear older than we feel. Morpheus8 offers a transformative, non-surgical approach to rejuvenating skin, improving texture, tone, and firmness with minimal downtime. If you seek a refreshingly natural enhancement to your appearance, Morpheus8 is an ideal solution that combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency technology.
At Le Beau Visage Medical Spa in Frisco, TX, we’re dedicated to providing exceptional, customized care through advanced skin treatments. Morpheus8 has rapidly gained popularity for its effectiveness and suitability for a wide range of skin types, including darker skin tones. Join us to explore the remarkable results that Morpheus8 can offer for a radiant, revitalized look.
Morpheus8 is a next-generation fractional treatment that uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) technology combined with microneedling to stimulate collagen production deeply within the skin. This unique approach allows Morpheus8 to treat beyond the surface, penetrating into the subdermal layers to remodel tissue. Its FDA-approved status as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD) means it’s highly effective for areas with excess fat and loose skin, such as the jawline, neck, and jowls.
The device utilizes tiny, gold-plated microneedles to create channels within the skin. Simultaneously, RF energy is delivered to these microchannels, heating the underlying layers to trigger collagen stimulation. The outcome is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin that is achievable without invasive surgery.
Skin Tightening and Firming
Stimulating collagen production leads to firmer, more elastic skin. The Morpheus8 system excels at tightening areas that often show the earliest signs of aging, like the neck and jawline.
Improvement in Acne Scars and Scarring
Morpheus8 is a great solution for reducing the appearance of acne scars and other skin imperfections. The microneedling component remodels the skin, softening scars and improving texture.
Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines
By delivering RF energy into the skin’s deeper layers, Morpheus8 smooths wrinkles, resulting in a more refined complexion and youthful radiance.
Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone
Morpheus8 can help even out skin tone, addressing areas of pigmentation and enhancing overall skin texture for a more polished, even look.
Minimal Downtime
Unlike traditional surgery, Morpheus8 requires minimal recovery time, making it ideal for individuals with busy schedules.
Versatile Application Areas
Morpheus8 can be used on the face, neck, and various body parts, including arms, abdomen, and thighs, offering comprehensive rejuvenation.
Increased Absorption of Skincare Products
The microchannels created during treatment make the skin more receptive to serums and skincare, maximizing the benefits of your routine.
Preparation for Morpheus8 is straightforward. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin’s needs, answer your questions, and ensure that the treatment aligns with your goals. Avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks before treatment, as sunburned or tanned skin is more susceptible to side effects. We also advise avoiding retinoids, exfoliants, and any other products that may irritate the skin.
Each Morpheus8 session at Le Beau Visage Medical Spa is designed to provide a comfortable and effective experience. To minimize any discomfort, a topical anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area. The device is then glided over your skin, creating microchannels and delivering RF energy into the subdermal layers. Depending on the treatment area, sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes.
Post-treatment, you may notice some redness and swelling, which is a normal response as the skin begins to heal. The healing process varies, but most individuals find they can return to their daily activities within 24 to 48 hours. For optimal results, avoid direct sunlight, use sunscreen, and adhere to a gentle skincare routine.
Post-procedure care is essential for achieving the best results with Morpheus8. We recommend the following:
Hydrate and Protect
Use a moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated, and apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to prevent sun damage.
Avoid Makeup Initially
Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment, as this allows the skin to breathe and recover.
Skip Retinoids and Exfoliants
Retinoids and exfoliants can irritate the skin, so it’s best to avoid them for at least one week after treatment.
Follow Up
Depending on your goals, we may recommend a follow-up session to achieve the best results.
Morpheus8 offers advanced skin rejuvenation that goes beyond traditional microneedling, laser treatments, and radiofrequency (RF) procedures. Here’s how Morpheus8 compares to other popular skin treatments, and why it’s a unique choice for those seeking more comprehensive and lasting results.
Morpheus8 delivers a deeper fractional treatment than most RF microneedling devices, penetrating up to 4,000 microns with an additional thermal reach extending 1,000 microns. This enables Morpheus8 to safely treat deeper layers of the skin, offering more effective skin tightening and rejuvenation with minimal thermal damage to the dermis. Its ability to treat all skin types safely, including darker-pigmented skin (Fitzpatrick skin type VI), reduces risks like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation commonly associated with CO2 lasers and similar treatments.
Both Fractora and Morpheus8 utilize RF energy to stimulate collagen production, but Morpheus8’s advanced design allows it to penetrate deeper into subdermal layers. This capability makes Morpheus8 more effective in treating areas with significant skin laxity, such as the neck, jowls, and jawline. Fractora provides skin tightening but is generally limited to shallower layers, making Morpheus8 a better choice for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Thermage is an RF-based treatment focusing on skin tightening by stimulating collagen in the dermal layer. Unlike Thermage, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF energy, delivering more precise results by addressing both skin texture and deeper structural concerns. The dual-action approach of Morpheus8 makes it more versatile, particularly for clients who need targeted rejuvenation in addition to skin tightening.
While traditional microneedling improves skin texture by creating micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, Morpheus8 goes further by combining RF energy with microneedling. This allows Morpheus8 to work on both the dermal and subdermal layers, promoting collagen stimulation and delivering visible skin-tightening effects that traditional microneedling cannot match.
Laser treatments focus on the skin’s surface to address issues like pigmentation, texture irregularities, and sun damage. Morpheus8, however, targets deeper layers, promoting collagen production within the skin’s foundational structures. Additionally, RF technology is less likely than lasers to cause pigmentation issues, making Morpheus8 a safer choice for darker skin tones.
While fillers address volume loss, Morpheus8 enhances skin firmness and elasticity. When used together, fillers and Morpheus8 create a balanced, youthful appearance by adding volume and improving skin texture. This combination is ideal for clients seeking both volume restoration and a rejuvenated, tightened skin surface.
Traditional microneedling works solely on the skin’s surface, improving texture and stimulating collagen. Morpheus8, however, takes this a step further by delivering RF energy into the subdermal layers, allowing it to penetrate more deeply. This process effectively treats deeper issues, such as moderate sagging and more stubborn wrinkles, making Morpheus8 more comprehensive than standard microneedling.
Yes, Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. Unlike laser treatments that can sometimes cause pigmentation issues, the RF technology in Morpheus8 bypasses melanin and does not depend on skin color to be effective. This means that it carries a lower risk of hyperpigmentation and is well-suited for diverse skin types.
The number of sessions varies depending on your aesthetic goals, skin condition, and the treatment area. Many patients see noticeable results after a single session, but optimal outcomes are typically achieved with 2-3 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. For ongoing maintenance, periodic sessions every 6-12 months may be recommended.
Morpheus8 is versatile and can treat several areas beyond the face. Popular treatment areas include the neck, jowls, jawline, and décolletage, as well as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and knees. This adaptability makes it ideal for addressing skin concerns on both the face and body.
Morpheus8 requires minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for 1-2 days post-treatment, which subsides quickly. Some may notice minor scabbing or flaking as the microchannels created by the needles heal, but these effects usually fade within a few days. You can resume your normal activities within 24 to 48 hours, though avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products is recommended.
Initial improvements in skin texture and tightness are often noticeable within a few days. However, as collagen production builds over time, the full effects of Morpheus8 continue to develop over several weeks to months. Maximum results are typically visible around 3-6 months post-treatment as collagen continues to remodel.
Results from Morpheus8 are long-lasting, typically remaining visible for one to two years. Longevity depends on individual skin aging and lifestyle factors. To maintain results, we recommend a healthy skincare routine, sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments every 12-18 months.
Yes, Morpheus8 can complement various other treatments, such as dermal fillers, Botox, and laser resurfacing. Combining treatments can create a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan, enhancing the effects of each. Our specialists can help design a customized treatment plan to meet your specific needs and goals.
Morpheus8 can be used effectively for body contouring! While it’s commonly known for facial rejuvenation, Morpheus8’s advanced RF microneedling technology can also target areas on the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and knees. The device’s deep penetration allows it to reach subdermal layers, promoting collagen production and tightening loose skin, which can reduce the appearance of sagging and enhance body contours.
Ideal candidates for Morpheus8 are individuals seeking skin rejuvenation and tightening without surgery. It’s suitable for those who want to improve skin texture, address fine lines, reduce mild sagging, or soften acne scars. During your consultation, our team will review your medical history and skin goals to determine if Morpheus8 aligns with your needs.
Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, and slight tenderness in the treatment area. Some individuals may experience mild bruising or flaking as the skin heals. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Morpheus8 is considered safe with a low risk of complications when performed by a trained professional.
