Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling device that is capable of tightening and contouring the face and body through subdermal adipose remodeling. Penetrating deeper and delivering more energy than any other microneedling device, the Morpheus8 transforms the aging face and body, giving it a smoother and sleeker appearance. At Kessel Dermatology, servicing the Hamilton Square, Trenton, and Mercer County areas in New Jersey, our experienced providers use Morpheus8 for all skin types to treat wrinkles, loose skin, acne scars, stretch marks, surgical scars and more.

WHAT IS MORPHEUS8?

Morpheus8 is a skin treatment that utilizes microneedles to deliver radio-frequency into the layers of skin in order to stimulates collagen, fibrin and elastin production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process improving the look of fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and sagging. 

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. 

The most commonly treated areas include:

• Face and Neck
• Decollete
• Upper arms
• Inner or Outer thighs
• Knees 

WHAT ELSE CAN BE TREATED?

• Acne scars
• Stretch marks
• Cellulite 
• Hyperhidrosis (excessive underarm sweating)

HOW IMPORTANT IS PROVIDER EXPERIENCE?

Extremely! Selecting the correct depth and energy level, as well as the number of passes done in each area can mean the difference between amazing results or none at all. Or worse, burns or scarring. Our aesthetic medicine expert Savy Guthrie, MPAS, PA-C has over twenty years of dermatology experience and has been named by InMode as one of the top 500 Morhpheus providers in all of North America in 2023 and 2024. 

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime you can expect to have at least 3 sessions, spaced one month apart. 

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Visible results can be seen within 6-8 weeks and continued improvement will be evident, but the final result after a series of 3 treatments is achieved at 4 months

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF FRACTIONATED ENERGY?

Fractionated RF energy is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen. In certain areas, it can even be used to remodel fat. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin with little patient downtime. 

CAN ANYONE USE MORPHEUS8?

Unless you have a pacemaker, the benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated. 

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF RF ENERGY?

RF energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalize the collagen. The treatment will improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance. 

CAN THIS BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?

Yes, Morpheus8 can be combined with other treatments like fillers and Botox, but will be spaced 2 weeks apart. 

WHEN CAN I PUT MAKE-UP ON AFTER TREATMENT?

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 2 days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness and swelling for up to 1 week depending on treatment parameters. Brusing is also possible, especially around the eyes. Give yourself 2 weeks before any major function.

WHAT KIND OF POST-PROCEDURE CARE IS REQUIRED?

Patients recieve detailed written insturctions. These include avoiding all spray products for several days and all medicated topicals. A patient may return to their normal skin care routine after all redness subsides and any peeling has stopped. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.
