Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (MORPHEUS 8)
Another technology used to rejuvenate the skin is radiofrequency. Many devices can improve the tone, color, and texture of the skin, using radiofrequency, but only MORPHEUS8 provides a non-surgical option to tighten the skin.
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity due to decreases in collagen, cessation of elastin production, and reduction of hyaluronic acid. This leads to wrinkled, dull, and sagging skin.
MORPHEUS8 is clinically proven to increase skin elastin by up to fivefold and double collagen levels, enhancing hyaluronic acid presence in the skin in just one treatment. It is the first and only microneedling device approved by the FDA for the treatment of the face and body.
How Does MORPHEUS8 Work?
Morpheus8 works by penetrating the skin with tiny needles while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy. This dual action stimulates the body’s natural healing process and collagen production, leading to improved skin structure and appearance.
MORPHEUS8 Benefits
Morpheus8 refines the skin, addressing various concerns for overall health and appearance. The benefits include:
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, Morpheus8 helps to fill in fine lines and reduce the depth of wrinkles, resulting in a smoother complexion.
- Improved Skin Tone and Texture: The treatment promotes a more uniform skin tone and refines the skin’s texture, which can be beneficial for individuals with uneven pigmentation or rough skin.
- Skin Tightening: Morpheus8’s ability to reach the deeper layers of the skin means it can effectively tighten lax skin, providing a firmer and more youthful appearance.
- Acne Scar Reduction: For those with a history of acne, Morpheus8 can diminish the appearance of acne scars, making them less noticeable.
- Pore Size Reduction: Enlarged pores can be aesthetically displeasing and contribute to skin issues; Morpheus8 helps to reduce pore size, leading to a smoother skin surface.
- Overall Aesthetic Enhancement: By addressing these various skin concerns, Morpheus8 contributes to a more radiant and healthy-looking skin, boosting the individual’s confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
Ideal Candidates for MORPHEUS8
Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it an ideal choice for individuals experiencing signs of skin aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and slight skin laxity.
