While surgical options for skin tightening, targeting stubborn fat pockets and treating signs of ageing are effective, many people opt for non-surgical, non-invasive alternatives that can still achieve desired results, but with minimal downtime.
At Ascension, we stay up to date with the latest technology and methods that are designed to treat common skin and body concerns. We now have InMode’s Morpheus8 and FaceTite devices, suitable for treating a variety of concerns on the face and body.
Morpheus8 and FaceTite both use radiofrequency (RF) energy, but Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF and FaceTite is designed to treat smaller areas. The right treatment choice for you will depend on your personal needs and preferences.
Morpheus8
InMode’s Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Collagen and elastin are both essential for the maintenance of clear, tight and smooth skin. The levels of both collagen and elastin production naturally lower as we age, which is part of the cause of wrinkles and skin laxity.
The heat from the RF energy and the microneedling both prompt the body’s natural healing response, which involves the production of collagen and elastin to heal the treated skin. RF energy also tightens connective fibres and melts targeted fat cells, achieving a tightening effect and reducing stubborn fat pockets.
The device has a variety of benefits. Firstly, it can treat multiple skin concerns, such as loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture. If it’s a suitable treatment plan for you, you may be able to treat a variety of these concerns at the same time.
Morpheus8 can treat areas of concern on both the face and body. As for the face, we can perform full face treatments or treatments focusing on the jowls, nasolabial folds, jawline, chin, or neckline. On the body, your treatment plan can be designed to focus on the chest, arms, abdomen, thighs or buttocks. Just like it can treat multiple concerns at once, you may be able to treat multiple areas of the face or body within the same treatment session to achieve your ideal results.
FaceTite
Delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy to smaller areas, FaceTite is another InMode innovation that stimulates collagen and elastin production, firms the skin and melts targeted fat pockets. It can be a great alternative to a facelift or neck lift for those who would prefer a non-invasive method.
Like the name suggests, FaceTite is designed to tighten the skin on the face and neck, treating skin laxity, the appearance of a double chin, jowls and wrinkles. It can also contour the jawline and lift the cheeks, in a way that looks natural and suits your own unique facial features.
The main benefit of FaceTite is that it can achieve satisfactory results for those who want to treat minor to moderate aesthetic concerns, without the need for a surgical method. This avoids the downtime and potential side effects that are associated with surgery, and since it works by triggering your body’s natural healing response, it also avoids the potential for results to look overdone.
How do I know which device to choose?
The right InMode device for you will depend on your desired treatment areas and what specific concerns you would like to treat.
The main difference between the two devices is that Morpheus8 uses microneedling as well as RF, which is still a non-invasive method but may not be suitable for everyone.
During a consultation at Ascension, we can discuss your particular concerns and your ideal results, as well as assess the condition of your desired treatment area to recommend the best method for you.
Benefits of Pearl Laser Fusion
Compared to other ablative laser treatments, Pearl Laser Fusion has a dramatically reduced downtime. Instead of weeks of painful downtime, you’ll only need five to seven days of social downtime as your face may be flaky and red. This means less time off work and faster results.
If you’re concerned about your ageing skin, this treatment can reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 70%. It is also a powerful treatment to improve sun damage and pigmentation. The rejuvenation of the skin plus the collagen stimulation means you’ll see incredible results after just one week, but you’ll continue seeing improvements for up to 12 months after the treatment.
