According to Beauty Fix MedSpa, Morpheus8 is a “revolutionary” skincare treatment that combines the “skin-tightening power” of radio-frequency technology with the “deep, penetrable benefits” of microneedling.

Morpheus8 is ideal for any candidate that wants to combat the signs of aging, address overexposure to the sun, or target skin concerns such as the appearance of stretch marks, enlarged pores, acne and acne scarring, or mild skin sagging.

The treatment can be performed on areas including the face, neck, chin, decolletage, abdomen, arms, knees and other parts of the body that have stretch marks or scarring.

Patients will begin their treatment process with a consultation conducted by their specialist. This will give the patient a chance to address their skincare needs, and allows the specialist to determine what strength treatment will aid achieving the desired results.

When the patient returns on the day of the treatment, they will have a topical cream applied to their face or body which will numb the area and reduce the likelihood of discomfort during the procedure. Once the area is fully numb, the specialist will begin the treatment by passing over the targeted areas with the Morpheus8.

As the Morpheus8 handpiece works its way around the skin, its microneedles will penetrate the skin and tissue, delivering radiofrequency energy with each prick. The total treatment time can last anywhere between 45 minutes to two hours.

A large benefit of the Morpheus8 treatments is an increase in collagen production within the skin. Because of this, patients will notice improved skin complexion and texture, a more radiant and youthful appearance. Results can be seen as soon as 2-3 weeks after treatment, with optimal results seen within three months.

Think this sounds like a treatment you’d like to try? Well sis, book your appointment!
