WHAT MICRONEEDLING & WHY MORPHEUS 8 IS DIFFRENT FROM OTHERS?
Traditional microneedling treatments or collagen induction therapy (CIT) uses tiny needles to pierce the skin and create small channels that your body heals by creating new collagen. However, RF microneedling with Morpheus8 also applies radio frequency-generated heat to your skin, tightening it and contouring the underlying fat making it a much more powerful and results driven procedure.
The Morpheus 8 is approved by the FDA as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device because, at its most powerful settings, it sculpts the fat under the skin. When used at lower settings, it improves texture by dilating pores, smoothing the skin, erasing scars, and tightening to give you a more youthful look.
HOW MORPHUES 8 TREATMENTS WORK ?
Morpheus 8 is used to perform the microneedling RF treatment after numbing skin with a topical numbing cream medication. The skin is then cleansed with an antibacterial formula followed by the Morpheus 8 procedure on the face or body which takes approximately 20-30 minutes.
The Morpheus 8 treatment can be combined with AccuTite, a subcutaneous radiofrequency treatment of the lower face, and for contouring and tightening the skin around the neck. A combination of the two treatments offers better results than if either of the treatments is applied independently.
Many people who receive the treatment start to see immediate results, but the optimum rejuvenation and anti-aging require at least three treatment sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.

HEALING FROM MORPHEUS 8 TREATMENTS?

However, there is a calming ointment and concealer that you may apply after treatment to reduce discomfort.
