Benefits of Morpheus8 (RF Needling)
COMBINES RADIO-FREQUENCY (RF) WITH MICRO-NEEDLING FOR SKIN TIGHTENING
Using a combination of modalities allows for a more thorough treatment. Radiofrequency (RF) uses an electric current to stimulate the skin, while microneedling triggers the skin through micro injuries. Fusing both, Morpheus8 is able to better stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. The purpose is to tighten the skin, improve lines and wrinkles, treat acne scarring and improve skin quality.
Some of the many cosmetic concerns that may lead a person to choose Morpheus8 are:
- Collagen loss or skin laxity in the face and lower neck
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring
- Skin laxity of the body & limbs
- Stretch marks
- Treatment of post-surgical scarring
- Poor skin quality
RECOVERY AND RESULTS
As a deep fractional microneedling treatment, the RF energy can target multi-level treatment depths at millisecond intervals. This allows for faster treatment times and less heat exposure to the surrounding skin.
After the treatment, some redness and minor discomfort are typical but should subside quickly. You can resume your daily routine as usual after your treatment.
Good candidates for Morpheus8 are patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and an absence of sun damage. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes for a full face and neck treatment. The downtime is minimal, with mild redness lasting 1-2 days.
Morpheus8 promotes the skin’s natural healing response, tightens skin, and targets stubborn fat pockets. With a personalised treatment plan, we can tailor the treatment to address your personal skin concerns and treat your desired areas, from full facial treatments to areas of the body such as the abdomen or thighs.
Results can vary and will depend on your own skin concerns, treatment plan, and desired outcomes. This means a discussion with a professional will be valuable in order to understand what results you can expect.
Pricing
At Ascension, we tailor our treatments to meet each patient’s unique needs, which can influence the total costs of treatments. Prices start at $950 or $2,565 for 3.
Risks and Side Effects
When you are planning your treatment, it is important to think about the risks and side effects. Although the risk of severe side effects is very low, you should know that they can occur. Your dermal therapist should be transparent with you about not only the potential benefits but also the potential adverse reactions.
Mild side effects from treatment include things like temporary bruising, soreness, swelling, and redness. These are normal and shouldn’t be a cause for serious concern. Severe side effects are less common and may require medical attention, including:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Allergic reaction to anaesthetic
- Blisters
If you’re concerned about any of your post-treatment symptoms, getting a second opinion may be a good idea. Our skin professionals can provide you with guidance on how to manage any side effects and encourage a positive result.
The Morpheus8 treatment
Before your treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any bacteria present. If preferred, numbing cream can be applied to reduce the sensation of the microneedling during the treatment.
During a Morpheus8 treatment, microneedles that emit radiofrequency energy will be gently inserted into the skin, creating a controlled, micro-injury. The micro-injury will then trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production.
The procedure typically takes only 10 to 20 minutes for a full face and neck treatment, but your total treatment time will depend on your specific treatment area and personalised treatment steps.
More TreatmentsFor You
Suitable candidates for the treatment
Suitable candidates for Morpheus8 will want to treat mild to moderate skin laxity. Candidates should be willing to follow aftercare instructions to prevent potential complications like infections. Ideally, candidates will also have realistic results for the treatment.
Some contraindications to the treatment can include active infections, acne or open lesions in the treatment area. During a consultation, you will discuss any health conditions and have your treatment area assessed to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
Recovery and aftercare
After treatment with Morpheus8, you can expect some redness and minor discomfort. Downtime is considered quite minimal, generally lasting only one to two days. You should be able to resume your normal daily routine after your treatment session.
To prevent complications, such as infection, you will need to follow some aftercare steps. You will need to avoid excessive sun and heat exposure, strenuous exercise, and wearing makeup straight after your treatment. To keep the treated area clean, you can begin using a gentle cleanser about two to three hours after your session.
You will be provided with a personalised list of instructions to follow that will consider your skin type and the steps of your treatment.
