Name of the equipment: Morpheus 8

Morpheus8 is an FDA approved sub-epidermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that combines micro-needling with directional radiofrequency to tighten, contour and lift the face and body. Safe for all skin types, Morpheus8 sculpts and remodels subcutaneous fat and tissue, stimulates collagen production and induces skin rejuvenation.

Typical areas to be treated include the face, neck, under upper arms, post-surgical or postnatal abdomen or thighs. Skin tightening treatments can be used to tackle a number of frustrating skin problems such as reducing the appearance of stretch marks and loose and sagging skin. Results continue to improve up to six months and can be amplified with PRP, fillers, neurotoxin, peels, lasers, and light treatments. Intense sun exposure should be avoided one month following treatment.

Type of procedure: Non-invasive clinic procedure

The treatment takes 20-60 minutes depending on the area being treatment. Topical anesthetic will be placed on the face 20-30 minutes before the treatment to maximize comfort. During the course of the treatment, you will experience brief, deep heat sensation with prickling from the needling.

Duration of the procedure: Walk-in walk-out, 1-hour anesthesia, 15 minutes' procedure time topical local anesthesia.

After treatment, there is local skin redness (erythema), swelling (edema), and the sensation of heat that can last anywhere from 1-7 days. It is normal to have tiny pinpoint scabs appear that can be masked 24 hours after treatment with make-up. Visible results can be achieved 4-14 days post treatment.

Technology: Micro needling & Radiofrequency, Mesotherapy
