What Is the Difference Between Morpheus8™ and Other Non-surgical Treatments?
Morpheus8™ stands out from other non-surgical treatments due to its innovative combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) to maximize collagen and elastin production. Morpheus8™ also differentiates itself from other treatments because of its adjustability for deeper depths of penetration, the addition of RF energy, and its versatility, as it can be used on multiple areas of the body.
Compared to more intensive non-surgical cosmetic treatments, Morpheus8™ involves less downtime while delivering significant results.
What Areas Can Morpheus8™ Treat?
Morpheus8™ can reduce or eliminate a wide range of skin concerns, like wrinkles and fine lines, on the face, neck, and body while firming sagging skin and improving texture and tone.
The ability to treat multiple concerns across various areas makes Morpheus8™ a versatile and comprehensive solution for skin rejuvenation.
How Does Morpheus8™ Work?
The Morpheus8™ procedure is relatively straightforward and minimally invasive, with the first step being a thorough consultation.
Your Morpheus8™ Consultation
During your consultation, your provider will review any pertinent medical information, evaluate your skin, ask about your goals, and create a customized treatment plan to meet your unique needs.
The Morpheus8™ Procedure
Before the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. The Morpheus8™ device is gently pressed into the skin, allowing the microneedles to penetrate to the appropriate depth, and RF energy is emitted to stimulate collagen production. Depending on your needs, your provider may adjust the depth of penetration and energy levels for optimal results.
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Once the treatment is complete, a soothing serum or moisturizer is applied, and you’ll receive aftercare instructions.
What Is Morpheus8™ Recovery Like?
Morpheus8™ recovery is relatively quick and easy, with minimal downtime. For the first 24–48 hours, mild redness, swelling, and pinpoint marks are common and typically subside within a couple of days. You should be able to resume your routine activities, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure during this initial healing period.
Between the first and second week after treatment, some flaking or peeling may occur as the skin begins to renew itself. You can use a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen to protect the treated area.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect With Morpheus8™?
Collagen production continues over several weeks, with results improving gradually over the following three to six months. Fine lines, wrinkles, and scars are minimized, leaving the skin smoother and more refined. Improved elasticity creates a younger appearance, and dark spots, redness, and discoloration are reduced for a more uniform complexion.
Results can last between one to three years with proper skin care and more with maintenance treatments.
How Much Does Morpheus8™ Cost in Santa Monica?
While a small area may cost as little as $500, the average price for a Morpheus8™ treatment session can range from $800–$1,800. You will receive a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.
