Morpheus8 Skin Rejuvenation in New Orleans
Schedule A ConsultationWhat is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a brand new technology designed to tighten and rejuvenate skin without invasive work. The device utilizes radio frequency which works in the same way as microneedling without the pain or redness that comes with the process.
It’s been approved by the FDA and categorized as a subdermal adipose remodeling device (or SARD). It works by targeting the supporting structures of the skin and promotes the production of collagen which helps with elasticity.
Going beyond the top layer of the dermis, Morpheus8 targets the underlying structure and therefore provides longer-lasting results with each treatment.
Routine use of Morpheus8 can therefore help reduce signs of wrinkles on the skin, improve texture, and tighten the structure for a fresher-looking face.
Benefits of Morpheus8
So, what exactly can Morpheus8 do for you? Here are some of the notable results of this treatment:
-
Increase the Production of Collagen
This is one of the primary building blocks of skin which helps increase the production of new skin cells, improve elasticity, and keep your skin hydrated. Unfortunately, the modern diet doesn’t include enough collagen-building proteins. The use of Morpheus8 combined with a proper diet guarantees more collagen production for smoother eyes, face, neck, and body.
-
Minimize Acne Scarring
Like microneedling, Morpheus8 deeply targets skin and makes the skin more resilient as it recovers from acne. This results in better recovery of the skin with fewer chances of deep and permanent acne scars.
-
Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles typically appear on parts of the face that tend to crease or move, like beside the eyes or the mouth. This can happen faster with poor hydration and lacking collagen production. Using Morpheus8 helps tackle both problems and brings back the elasticity of your skin to prevent creases from forming.
-
Removes Stretch Marks
Stretch marks that can occur on the abdomen, thighs, and even breasts can fade away with the use of this device. You only need to be patient because stretch marks usually take several sessions to disappear.
What Are Some Common Treatment Sites for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is best used on the face, jawline, neck, and around the eyes. Some people actually prefer this method to laser vaginal rejuvenation as it provides impressive results through a simple process!
The eyes, face, and neck seem to be the most common areas where Morpheus8 is used in women while the face, neck, and abdomen are preferred by the older generation as the targeted area.
The abdomen and thighs are fairly excellent treatment sites for women who gave birth because it helps reduce fine lines brought out by stretch marks.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Morpheus8 is good for anyone!
Whether you’re male or female, the treatment can give you plastic surgery effects without the exorbitant cost and very little downtime. For safety, however, the doctor will first ask about your medical history to find out if you have pre-existing health conditions.
While the process itself is non-invasive, the use of anesthesia and treatment cream may trigger an allergic reaction in some women.
The process itself can also be stressful so we’ll want to check your blood pressure and any other medical condition that might affect the treatment.
Barring any complications, however, all men and women of legal age are perfect candidates for Morpheus8.
The treatment is both a preventive and a curative procedure which means that it will be useful even if you don’t have visible wrinkles or sagging skin yet.
Using Morpheus8 as early as possible can help delay the signs of aging and let you enjoy a youthful glow all through your 50s.
How Many Treatment Sessions are Needed?
Morpheus8 is not a one-time facial treatment. Depending on the severity of the skin problem, a patient may need 1 to 4 series of treatments to really see results. Note that these treatments are spaced over a few months to give your skin time to recover from the procedure.
Ideally, your skin should be at its perfect peak before exposing it to a new series of treatments. The doctor will space each session out by 4 weeks or more with routine checkups to see how well your skin is coping.
Does that mean you need 4 sessions before you see results? Not really.
After the first session, your skin will already display some improvement. However, if your goal is to remove acne marks, fine lines, or wrinkles, it might take two or more sessions before they actively start to disappear.
Can I Wear Makeup Afterward?
No. The effect of Morpheus8 on the skin is a lot like getting a slight sunburn. Your face will feel hot, look red, and be a little irritated after the process.
Your doctor will give you cream and offer instructions on the proper care of your skin during the first 24 hours.
During this time, make sure you stay away from the sun and do NOT put anything on your face. Avoid touching it or putting any sort of skin care product on the surface other than what the doctor allows.
The recovery period can be as little as 24 to 48 hours. Make sure to clear your day after the treatment so you’ll have the time to relax and pamper yourself for faster recovery.
What Should I Do After the Procedure?
Stay away from the sun right after the procedure. If you need to wash your face, use a gentle cleanser or just plain warm water to hydrate the surface of the skin.
Afterward, use the recommended moisturizer given by your doctor or use the one you have in stock.
Do NOT use a toner or an exfoliant because this will only irritate the surface. If you’re going out the next day, make sure to use a generous layer of sunscreen but still, make efforts to stay away from sunlight! Wear makeup only after 2 or 3 days.
