Table of Contents

In the past, the only way to tighten your skin, smooth wrinkles, and sculpt your body was through cosmetic surgery. However, advances in technology have made it not only possible but also easy to refresh your skin without surgery. Morpheus8™ is a minimally invasive, cutting-edge solution to everything from early signs of facial aging to body areas that are beginning to droop. At Capital Center® MedSpa, we offer Morpheus8™ Face and Morpheus8™ Body to our patients looking for more youthful skin but who aren’t quite ready for cosmetic surgery.

What Is Morpheus8™?

Morpheus8™ is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target the deeper layers of your skin. This dual-action approach stimulates your body’s collagen and elastin production to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and tightness.

Morpheus8™ Face is especially effective for reducing fine lines, tightening sagging skin, and improving the appearance of acne scars. Morpheus8™ Body uses the same technology, but penetrates even deeper into your skin, firming and contouring nearly any area of your body. It’s a perfect solution for anyone with mild skin laxity due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy, and is often used in conjunction with liposuction for even better results.

What Are the Benefits of Morpheus8™?

Morpheus8™ offers nonsurgical skin tightening with minimal downtime necessary for recovery. It is a safe and effective treatment that can be used head to toe, on skin of all types and tones. It boosts collagen and elastin production to improve skin from the inside, for gorgeous, natural-looking results. Other benefits include:

  • Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduced jowls and tighter skin
  • Decreased visibility of acne scars
  • Improved skin texture and tone
  • Improvement in the appearance of cellulite
  • Contouring and reshaping of areas that don’t respond well to exercise

Am I a Good Candidate for Morpheus8™?

Good candidates for Morpheus8™ treatments are adults in overall good health who have realistic expectations for their results. Ideal candidates for Morpheus8™ include people who:

  • Have signs of facial aging like fine lines, lax skin, or uneven texture
  • Have acne scars or enlarged pores
  • Have mild to moderate skin laxity on their body due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging
  • People who want to improve texture, firmness, or contour nonsurgically

When you come in for a Morpheus8™ consultation at Capital Center®, one of our expert providers will discuss your concerns and goals for your treatment, examine your skin, and determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure.

How Is Morpheus8™ Performed?

Your Morpheus8™ Face treatment will begin with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. The handheld Morpheus8™ device is passed over the skin, simultaneously delivering microneedling and controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. You may feel some heat and slight pressure as the device is moved over the treatment area, but discomfort is typically minimal. Your Morpheus8™ Face session generally takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

The procedure for Morpheus8™ Body is nearly identical to the facial treatment but uses a larger applicator and penetrates more deeply to target fat and connective tissue. Morpheus8™ Body treatments take between 60–90 minutes, again, depending on the size and number of areas treated.

For both Morpheus8™ Face and Morpheus8™ Body, a series of three or more treatments is usually recommended, depending on your skin concerns and desired results. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan for you at your consultation.

What Is Recovery Like After Morpheus8™?

Morpheus8™ is a popular treatment because it requires minimal downtime for recovery. After your treatment, you will likely experience some redness and mild swelling in the treatment area for a couple of days. You might also feel a bit of soreness or tenderness, similar to a mild sunburn. You can typically return to work as soon as you’re ready, but must avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities, as well as heat (including hot baths and showers) for a couple of days. Your skin may feel dry or tight as it heals, so use gentle skincare products to cleanse and moisturize.

Your Morpheus8™ provider will give you specific aftercare instructions according to your needs and areas treated. Be sure to follow them to the letter to reduce the chances of complications and ensure gorgeous results.

What Can I Expect From My Morpheus8™ Results?

Morpheus8™ relies on your body’s natural processes to improve your skin, so your results will appear gradually over time. Once the initial side effects of your Morpheus8™ treatments have subsided, you’ll start to see more obvious improvements, with your full results developing over several weeks. Within one to two weeks, you’ll see tighter, firmer, more radiant skin and improved contour. As collagen remodeling continues over the course of about three months, you’ll see progressive improvements in the tone, texture, and overall appearance of your skin.

You’ll be able to enjoy smoother, more youthful skin for a year or more with a proper skincare routine and occasional touch-ups when needed.
