RF Microneedling Morpheus8 is an advanced cosmetic procedure that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling. This innovative treatment stimulates collagen production and remodels tissue, effectively addressing concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

How Does RF Microneedling Morpheus8 Work?

RF Microneedling Morpheus8 utilizes a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to target deep layers of the skin. The procedure involves applying fractional RF energy through tiny needles that penetrate the skin’s surface.

This energy heats the underlying dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production, which are essential for skin firmness and elasticity. The controlled thermal injury from RF energy triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, resulting in skin remodeling and rejuvenation.

Benefits:

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  • Targets deep layers of the skin for comprehensive rejuvenation
  • Minimizes damage to the skin’s surface
  • Effective in treating wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture
  • Provides long-lasting results
  • Safe for all skin types
  • Minimal side effects and downtime

Preparation:

  • Cleanse your face thoroughly before the procedure.
  • Avoid using any skincare products containing retinoids or acids for at least one week prior.
  • Inform your provider about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before your treatment.
  • Hydrate well in the days leading up to your appointment.
  • Arrive at your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.
  • Follow any specific instructions provided by your provider regarding pre-treatment skincare.

Procedure

During the RF Microneedling Morpheus8 treatment, your skin will first be cleansed and prepped. Next, a numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. The Morpheus8 device will then be passed over the treatment area, delivering radiofrequency energy through tiny needles that penetrate the skin. You may feel some warmth and minor discomfort, but the numbing cream helps alleviate this. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

Downtime

Following RF Microneedling Morpheus8, you may experience redness, swelling, and minor discomfort similar to a sunburn. These effects typically diminish within a few days. Some individuals may notice pinpoint bleeding or bruising, which usually resolves quickly. You can resume normal activities immediately, although it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a few days. The results gradually improve over several weeks as collagen production increases.

Recovery Guidelines

  • Apply a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen with high SPF.
  • Refrain from vigorous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for 24 hours.
  • Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the treated area to prevent irritation and infection.
  • Follow any additional post-treatment skincare instructions provided by your practitioner.
  • Contact your provider if you experience persistent or severe side effects.

Results

You’ll begin noticing improvements in skin texture and tone within a few weeks of your RF Microneedling Morpheus8 treatment. However, optimal results typically emerge gradually over several months as collagen continues to regenerate. Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions spaced weeks apart for optimal results. These results can last for up to a year or longer, depending on individual factors like skincare routine, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices. To maintain the benefits, schedule periodic maintenance sessions as recommended by your provider.
