There’s no denying that the way your skin looks can have a major impact on your confidence. But not everyone with wrinkles, sagging skin, or acne scars wants to undergo an invasive surgical procedure to look and feel better.
At Vivash Medspa, our team offers an alternative: comprehensive skin rejuvenation with the state-of-the-art Morpheus8® system. Here, learn eight key ways this unique, customizable treatment can help you achieve your own aesthetic goals.
Plenty of studies show how radiofrequency treatments and microneedling therapy help stimulate healthier skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and stretch marks. Morpheus8 combines both of those approaches for even better results.
While radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production, it can only “work” as far as it penetrates your skin. Microneedling creates hundreds of tiny channels that allow energy to penetrate deeper, into layers where collagen production actually occurs. Plus, those tiny channels spur healing on their own, providing a “one-two punch” for a myriad of skin issues.
Until recently, a surgical lift was the only way to treat sagging, loose skin. But today, mild-to-moderate sagging can be treated noninvasively with Morpheus8.
Combining radiofrequency energy and microneedling, Morpheus8 can tighten loose skin on your face and other areas of your body without incisions, anesthesia, or the risks they entail. If you’re craving visible tightening but you’re not ready for surgery, Morpheus8 could be just what you’re looking for.
Microneedling alone can be very effective in softening fine lines, but combining it with radiofrequency enhances that effect. Penetrating heat energy stimulates tissue remodeling deep in the tissue where collagen is produced. The result: Skin that looks refreshed, not tight, taut, or pulled.
Scars aren’t just an aesthetic concern — they can sometimes be a reminder of an injury or experience you’d rather forget. Morpheus8 breaks up scar tissue and remodels skin from the inside out, smoothing out scars, including stubborn acne scars, so skin looks smoother and feels softer. The same deep-penetrating action is ideal for minimizing stretch marks, too.
One of Morpheus8’s biggest advantages is its ability to be completely customizable based on your skin type, the specific treatment area, and even your individual goals. Whether you want to target fine lines, improve your skin’s texture or tighten up lax, loose areas, your Morpheus8 treatment plan can be tailored to your needs.
If you think Morpheus8 is just for your face, think again. It's ideal for your neck, chest, belly, thighs, and other areas with loose,sagging skin. In fact, Morpheus8 is a great option for anyone who’s recently lost a significant amount of weight or for women looking to restore tighter skin following pregnancy, situations when skin may not fully rebound on its own.
Skin-tightening surgery is invasive, involving incisions that can involve both discomfort and a prolonged recovery time afterward. On the other hand, recovery following nonsurgical Morpheus8 is a completely different — and more comfortable — experience.
After treatment, it’s normal to have some skin redness and a little mild swelling in the treatment area, but these effects resolve within a few days. Most people can go right back to their regular activities soon afterward without any major disruption to their regular routine.
While the procedure and recovery are certainly important considerations, what most of us want is a treatment that offers the results we’re looking for — and that’s another reason why Morpheus8 is so popular.
The unique combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling goes far beyond superficial results, triggering natural skin remodeling for continued benefits over time. What’s more, regular touchup treatments help you maintain your results, especially when combined with a good overall skincare routine.
If you’re looking for a way to improve the way your skin looks, feels, and responds, Morpheus8 is definitely worth exploring.
