Benefits of Morpheus8

Morpheus8 treatments improve the look and feel of skin in several ways. It is commonly used to improve the tone and texture of skin on the face and neck but can be used to treat other areas as well. Some of the primary benefits of this skin rejuvenating method include:

• Tightens loose or sagging skin
• Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
• Evens out an uneven skin tone
• Improves skin texture
• Diminishes acne scars

In addition to the many ways Morpheus8 improves the look and feel of skin, another benefit of this revolutionary treatment is that it is non-surgical. It is performed as an outpatient procedure right in our dermatology office so you can return home and relax shortly after your treatment session.

How Morpheus8 Works

Morpheus8 combines two advanced skin rejuvenating methods, microneedling and radiofrequency, to deliver maximum results. Both methods help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which naturally decrease with age. Diminishing collagen and elastin levels contribute to a loss of skin elasticity, which can lead to the development of lines and wrinkles. The knowledgeable providers at our dermatology office in Panama City, FL, can determine if Morpheus8 is the right treatment to meet your needs.

The science behind using both microneedling and radiofrequency is quite simple. Microneedling creates tiny micro-size pricks in the skin, which prompt the production of collagen and elastin as part of the body’s natural healing process. The increase in collagen and elastin helps smooth and firm the skin so it looks more youthful.

The radiofrequency component of Morpheus8 works in conjunction with the microneedling. When the microneedling device creates tiny punctures in the skin, it also emits heat from radiofrequency energy that penetrates the deeper layers of the skin. The heat stimulates collagen and elastin production in these deep layers, which helps tighten the skin so it appears firmer and smoother.

Most clients are able to see noticeable results within 2-3 weeks after their first Morpheus8 treatment session. It often takes 2-3 sessions to achieve the desired results. Maximum results can be observed about 3 months after the last treatment session and, depending on the individual, results could last for several years.
