Skin Resurfacing

Restore your skin’syouthful glowand appearance.

Morpheus8 is a safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency for skin rejuvenation. It improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin, corrects skin imperfections, and improves skin texture and firmness. Skin resurfacing takes away damaged skin, layer by layer, with precision and accuracy. During the healing process, the new skin that forms is tighter and younger looking.

Morpheus8 helps restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance. You will see a healthier complexion as pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, and the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

How Skin Resurfacing Works

Traditional microneedling aims at stimulating the body’s own collagen production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, sun damage, skin laxity and scarring by penetrating the skin’s surface using tiny needles, which awakens your body’s wound healing response.

Morpheus8 is a combination therapy that brings the benefits of microneedling with the addition of radio frequency within the needles. This amplifies the production of collagen and elastin significantly, resulting in smoother, firmer and younger-looking skin that continues to improve over time.

Morpheus8 delivers fractional resurfacing and subdermal treatments, penetrating tissue up to 5mm (4mm + 1mm thermal profile), much deeper than traditional microneedling treatments. This means that both the upper and lower layers of the skin or dermis are treated with RF heat, allowing the treatment to not only tighten the skin but also to go as far as remodeling it.

Benefits of Morpheus8 Treatment

Morpheus8’s color blind technology is safe for all skin types and tones. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is common with other resurfacing methods. The interchangeable fractional tips can be used on all facial soft tissue, even small hard-to-reach treatment areas.

Improvements appear gradually as your skin repairs itself and it can take up three months to see the final results. Maintenance treatments are encouraged to keep your skin glowing and toned. Our doctor will make a personalized recommendation for you.

Acne

The combination microneedling and RF energy have the effect of shrinking or shutting down the oil glands under the skin, thereby preventing the chain of events that causes acne in the first place.

Scars

The increased collagen and elastin production stimulated by Morpheus8, as well as the increased skin cell turnover,significantly fades and reduces the appearance of acne scars, injuries, surgical scars and any other textural irregularities, especially following a course of treatments.
