Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This process reorganizes the skin's building blocks in a natural anti-aging process
What does Morpheus8 improve?
Morpheus8 is a popular treatment that can improve skin tone, texture, and tone, as well as reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, and stretch marks. It's also effective for under-eye bags, dark circles, and tightening the skin around the eyes
How does Morpheus8 work?
Morpheus8 uses state-of-the-art technology to administer 24 silicone-coated needles beneath the surface of the skin and into the superficial fat. The depth of penetration depends upon the area being treated and desired results. Once the needles are placed, the device delivers a pulse of radiofrequency energy that tightens the soft tissue, coagulates the fat and stimulates the production of elastin and collagen.
What to expect with Morpheus8?
A Morpheus8 treatment takes approximately 1 hour. During the treatment you will feel heat and pressure on the treatment area.
You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream to numb the area and minimize discomfort. Other pain-control options are available including Pro-Nox and Mesoram.
Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled inhaled analgesia system that delivers a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture for the relief of pain and anxiety. The effects of Pro-Nox wear off in 10-15 minutes allowing patients to resume normal activity right away including driving.
Following treatment, skin may be slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. Redness should subside within the first 24 hours following treatment. Expect up to 3 days of social downtime. While improvement is noticeable after 1 treatment, to achieve optimal effect, 3-4 treatments are typically recommended
How IPL treatment works?
IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin.
When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the issue you’re being treated for. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.
After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even. And since the light doesn’t hurt other tissue, you can get better quickly.
For the treatment, you should seek a board-certified dermatologist

Even patients with a low pain threshold are able to tolerate it but have the option to put a numbing or topical anesthetic cream to eliminate that sensation completely. Once the treatment is done, patients may experience some swelling or redness but those symptoms subside significantly after the first hour
