MORPHEUS 8 24-pin

Morpheus8 is a skin remodelling treatment, effective for overall skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, loss of firmness, enlarged pore, facial fat. Morpheus8 uses ‘Ablative Radiofrequency’ technology which is delivered into the dermis and subdermal layer of the skin using gold coated microneedles. It creates micro-injuries and heats below the surface of the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin by the skin’s fibroblast cells. In turn, this causes the skin to tighten and lift, reducing the signs of ageing and improves skin quality and elasticity over the 3-6 months following the treatment.

HOW DOES MORPHEUS8 24-pin WORK?

Combining the radiofrequency energy with a patented form of micro-needling, Morpheus8 needles reach as deep as 2.5mm to 3.0mm at the dermis layer, creating a bio-stimulation response in the dermal fibroblast cells of the skin. This response involves creation of micro-injuries using gold coated microneedles which deliver radiofrequency energy directly to the dermis and subdermal layer of the skin where collagen and elastin is produced. As gold insulates the microneedles, the energy is delivered from the tips of needles into the dermis, rather than on the surface of the skin, which markedly reduces downtime as it minimises heating on the surface of the skin.

WHO IS THE BEST SUITED FOR MORPHEUS8 24-pin?

The treatment is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their overall appearance, tighten their skin, and increase their confidence. You may benefit from this treatment if you are concerned about wrinkles, sagging skin, small fat deposits, or scarring, or if you simply wish for firmer, rejuvenated skin.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MORPHEUS8 24-pin?

Morpheus8 is a highly versatile treatment and can benefit a wide range of skin types. The procedure can be ideal for men or women who are concerned about pigmentation, large pores, sagging skin, scarring, or other skin issues. The device penetrates deeper than other microneedling devices, targeting the deep layers of skin to promote effective skin tightening and lifting. Benefits of this cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment include:

– Increased production of collagen
– Skin tightening and lifting
– Reduction in lines and wrinkles
– Reduction in acne scarring
– Improved appearance of stretch marks
– Improvement of skin texture
– Suitable for all skin types and tone

The major benefits of Morpheus8 are skin tightening and lifting, improvement of skin texture and reduction of skin laxity. Morpheus8, when compared to other forms of radiofrequency micro-needling or ablative skin resurfacing (such as fractional laser) has several additional benefits, including more precise targeting of skin depth for deeper subdermal tightening as well as reduced risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, by virtue of the patented gold coating on the microneedles. 

  • WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER MORPHEUS8?

Patients will notice that their face looks much better after their procedure. Over the course of recovery, collagen tightens and patients see improvements in their facial appearance. Their face is lifted and volume is added to lax areas. Skin complexion also improves. Six short weeks after their procedure, patients will see their final results. A Morpheus8 treatment or series of treatments can make a patient look decidedly younger.

MORPHEUS 8 Resurfacing

Morpheus8 Resurfacing is designed as an ablative resurfacing treatment, comparable to fractional CO2 laser (such as fraxel) to target acne scarring and other surface texture irregularities of the skin. It can help improve uneven texture of skin, open pores and scar tissue. Morpheus8 Resurfacing targets the post inflammatory irregularities in skin texture and tone caused by chronic acne and other inflammatory skin issues. It is ideally suited to treat rolling and atrophic acne scars.

  • HOW DOES MORPHEUS8 (RESURFACING) WORK?

Morpheus8 Resurfacing uses uncoated titanium microneedles which penetrate 0.5mm into the skin surface, in combination with bipolar radiofrequency energy to heat and resurface the skin, in areas of irregular texture, such as acne scars and post-surgical scars. This treatment is designed to be more aggressive than conventional Morpheus8 as it creates a more dramatic skin surface effect to more dramatically improve disrupted dermal collagen structures. It is an ideal treatment for rolling and atrophic acne scarring.
