Non-surgical skin rejuvenation
What is Morpheus8?
As we age, we will all face unsightly skin laxity and sagging due to our body’s declining collagen and elastin production. Fortunately, today’s aesthetic technology allows us to rebuild new collagen and elastin. Addressing the actual structure of the skin will improve both the outer tone and texture, as well as the resiliency and tautness. These changes can be achieved with a noninvasive treatment: RF (radiofrequency) microneedling.
Dr. Ali Ghafouri, Arizona’s leading facial plastic surgeon, is pleased to offer Morpheus8, the top-performing RF microneedling treatment suitable for all skin types. This treatment works well on your face, neck, décolleté and more. Morpheus8 microneedling has the longest microneedles currently approved by the FDA, which can reach as deep as 8 millimeters beneath the skin for maximum rejuvenation.
The Benefits of Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is highly successful at producing younger-looking skin. It can treat a variety of cosmetic skin issues simultaneously, such as:
- Loose skin and sagging skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Oversized pores
- Scars (including acne scars)
- Excess fatty volume in the face and neck
Who Is a Candidate for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a non-invasive treatment with minimal risks, making it safe for most patients. While some skin treatments are not meant for people with darker complexions, Morpheus8 works well on patients of all skin tones with proper pretreatment. During a consultation, we can review your candidacy for Morpheus8 and other treatments, as Morpheus8 couples well with other laser services for combined results.
The Morpheus8 Procedure
Our licensed laser technicians guide the handpiece, featuring twenty-four tiny needles, across the skin. These needles make micro-wounds in the skin to trigger the natural healing response without causing any substantial, superficial harm. However, the micro-wounds are sufficient enough to cause your body to increase its production of collagen and elastin. Over time, these proteins add youthful fullness to your skin and aid in tissue retraction.
Morpheus8 treatment is far superior to a standard microneedling treatment due to radiofrequency energy delivery. This triggers fibroplasia, the process in which the body forms new fibrous tissue, and stimulates the production of collagen, causing collagen fibers to become shorter and more tense. At the same time, the molecules that makeup collagen are left undamaged. Skin elasticity increases, and loose, sagging skin is tightened. Additionally, the heat from RF can reach deeper layers of the dermis, which makes it most successful at smoothing the texture of your skin and diminishing acne scarring.
Morpheus8 Recovery
Because it is non-invasive, Morpheus8 requires minimal downtime. Your skin may appear somewhat red and irritated for a few days, but you are free to resume your normal activities, including work, as soon as your treatment is finished. After 24 hours, you may begin to wear makeup to conceal any lingering redness. Be sure to wear sunscreen anytime you are outdoors because your skin is especially sensitive following treatment– also, avoid direct sun exposure during the first 24 hours.
Morpheus8 Results
It generally takes several weeks before you start to see the positive effects of Morpheus8. Results are not instantaneous because your body gradually increases collagen production, which smooths your skin. The best results can be seen about three months after your treatment.
To maximize their results, many patients undergo multiple Morpheus8 treatments, each one spaced at least a month apart. The number of treatments depends on your own cosmetic goals and the preexisting condition of your skin.
