Morpheus8
Radio-Frequency Skin Needling
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is the leading fractional RF skin-needling procedure to remodel, repair and rejuvenate the skin of the face and body.
The Morpheus8 technology treats a vast range of concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pore size reduction, stretch mark reduction and remodelling adipose fat tissue in areas such as submental (double-chin), abdomen and thighs.
Morpheus8 encourages cell renewal and strengthens the fibro-septal network which firms, lifts and tightens the skin on not only a superficial level, but a deeper level in comparison to your standard skin needling treatments. Morpheus has the ability to treat up to 4mm deep for areas such as the face, and 7mm deep on subcutaneous layers such as the abdomen.
The Morpheus8 device has insulated needles, which means the RF energy is delivered directly to the specific layer where the indication is being treated. This means that the thermal energy is providing the heat only where required, and not causing thermal damage to the surrounding layers resulting in less downtime and more effective results.
What is Morpheus 3D Body?
The Morpheus8 3D Body is still using your Morpheus8 technology however is designed for specific, deep fractional coagulation of subcutaneous tissue (fat). Morpheus8 Body with 3D Smart Frame and Burst technology provides up to 8mm of deep treatment (thermal profile of 7mm + an additional heat profile of 1mm).
The burst mode technology allows us to build energy quicker and create the most effective heat profile required for reduction of subcutaneous fat meaning that the treatment is faster, and the results are even more effective.
During your appointment, your skin is cleansed and disinfected. The areas of treatment will be determined and photographs of these areas will be taken.
Topical Anaesthetic is then applied by a Registered Nurse to the skin for up to 30 minutes.
Morpheus8 will be performed on the treatment areas until the desired clinical endpoint is achieved, timeframe may vary dependant on the area however we allow 30-60 minutes for most treatments.
Immediately after the Morpheus8 is performed, post treatment recovery balm & Zinc based SPF is applied to the skin (now available in a full coverage tint) which is specifically formulated to apply directly post skin needling.
What does the treatment involve?
Depending on the indication treated, each patient will be provided with a customised treatment plan.
When we are treating indications such as rejuvenation & anti-aging, we may recommend 1-3 treatments, and when treating your subcutaneous areas such as the lower abdomen we may suggest 2-4 treatments.
Treatments can be performed every 4-6 weeks.
How many treatments are required?
What is the preparation and aftercare for a Morpheus8 treatment?
For skin types III+ or clients with concerns of pigmentation, the use of a tyrosinase inhibitors
(found in Retinol & Vitamin C) are recommended for 2 weeks prior to treatment - this will minimise any risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and ensure that your cellular turnover is performing accordingly.
Cease Retinol use for a minimum of 3 days prior to the treatment.
Avoiding intentional sun exposure/tanning and wearing SPF+ daily is always recommended when performing collagen induction therapy.
Immediately post treatment the skin will appear as ‘mild-moderate sunburn’ due to the inflammation. The inflammation is essential to the creation of collagen and elastin so avoid using ice-packs or cooling the skin excessively.
The skin may also have micro-swelling or what appears as ‘stamp marks’ for 3-5 days on the face or 1-2 weeks on the body.
Makeup is able to be applied just 1 day after the treatment.
A gentle skin care routine should be applied for 3-5 days post treatment and avoid exfoliation for 7 days.
Avoid any heat inducing activities for 48 hours post treatment.
Continue to avoid intentional sun exposure/tanning and wearing Zinc based SPF+ and other sun protection daily.
Morpheus8 results may be noticeable after just 3 weeks, however as with all collagen remodelling treatments, we allow 3 months to see your final result.
Being the worlds deepest RF Needling treatment, Morpheus8 is compared to a non-surgical & non-invasive face lift.
