Learn More About Morpheus8
If you are looking to reduce the signs of aging and are not ready to undergo a more invasive treatment, Morpheus8 RF microneedling might be right for you. Most healthy men and women are good candidates for Morpheus8. As one of the top three providers of Morpheus8 in the United States, Dr. Rapaport and his team routinely perform this treatment on any patient deemed to be an ideal candidate. If you are under 18, you will need parental consent.
Those looking to improve lines and creases, uneven texture, facial volume loss, acne scars, and sun damage may benefit from Morpheus8. This treatment is often performed with liposuction and BodyTite or FaceTite to achieve optimal skin tightening and contouring.
Morpheus8 is a non-surgical advanced microneedling treatment. Our skin loses elasticity when we age, with wrinkles, lines, and sagging appearing. The Morpheus8 technology uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production to tighten and smooth wrinkles on the face and body. Morpheus8 comfortably penetrates the skin at a deeper level than other needling treatments, transforming your complexion and restoring more youthful facial skin.
Combining radiofrequency technology, needling, and fractional treatments allows Morpheus8 to address various skincare problems. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and heat the tissue to stimulate collagen production. What makes Morpheus8 different than other microneedling treatments is the depth at which the needles penetrate the skin. It is the only treatment that can mold fat under the skin to obtain optimal results. Contouring and refining the subdermal layers enables a more detailed approach and sculpts the face naturally.
We perform Morpheus8 microneedling in our New York office. The procedure is relatively painless, even with the deeper penetration of needles. These needles are very sharp and fine, puncturing your skin without tugging or pulling.
Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure comfort, with oral medications and laughing gas available if desired. When the procedure begins, you might feel a slight prickling sensation followed by warmth as the needles pass over your skin. The advanced technology of Morpheus8 provides controlled and consistent heat delivery, allowing for uniform treatment and results.
The length of the treatment depends on the individual’s needs and the size of the treatment area. Most Morpheus8 procedures take 30-60 minutes. If it is paired with liposuction or BodyTite, the procedure will likely take longer, and local anesthesia may be needed.
Morpheus8 doesn’t require any downtime. Most people return to work the day after their treatment. Post-treatment, you may see a bit of pinpoint bleeding from the needles. This should only last for a few minutes. Your skin will be red and feel hot, like it is a bit sunburned, for up to one week. Side effects only amount to the same redness you might experience after a day at the beach. Swelling around the treated areas is also a minor concern but should be resolved within a day or two.
Patients should use gentle skincare products for a few days while their skin heals, avoiding exfoliators, acids, and other harsh ingredients. Keep your skin moisturized and wear plenty of sunscreen, as your skin will be more sensitive during recovery. A detailed list of instructions will be reviewed with you by your provider before and after your treatment.
After being treated with Morpheus8, your skin will be refreshed, revitalized, and enhanced. Over several weeks, new layers of collagen will begin to plump and volumize your skin, creating a smoother, more youthful complexion and contours. A subtle lift that minimizes skin laxity will improve your skin’s overall tone and texture. Some of these benefits will appear within a week, with optimal improvements after several weeks. Patients can also use Morpheus8 to reduce specific concerns like acne scars or hyperpigmentation.
We recommend a series of Morpheus8 sessions for comprehensive benefits. You can then preserve your enhanced skin with occasional maintenance treatments. Incorporating facials or other skin rejuvenation treatments into your skincare routine can further enhance and maintain results.
