Morpheus8 - M8 - is fractional radio-frequency microneedling via gold-coated microneedles that deliver precise thermal energy only at calculated depths in the dermal and subnormal layers of the skin, up to 4 mm on the face and 8 mm on the body. FDA approved for deep tissue remodeling, this tightens the fibroseptal network and stimulates collagen and elastin for weeks to months.

Morpheus8 is clinically proven to uniformly and safely tighten and contour skin, even skin texture, minimize pores, improve stretch marks & crepe-like skin, fades scars, acne, fine lines, & wrinkles, liquifies & remodels fat, improves cellulite & rippled skin. Because it only pulses energy in the deeper layers, it spares the epidermis, most top layer, making it safe for nearly all skin types; skincare for everybody with minimal downtime.

face and neck: eyebrown lift, eyelids, under-eye festoons, nasolabial folds, jowls, double chin, sagging skin

body: abdomen, upper arms, bra rolls [axillary & back], thighs, buttocks, above the knees, flanks, and more

It typically takes 3-4 treatments to achieve desired results

Mild initial results are appreciated shortly after treatment, however changes are most noticeable around the 3-week mark. The dermal layers continue to improve for up to three months. Treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart for healing time.

Customized treatment plans are tailored to individual goals, and for optimal results typically 3-4 treatments are recommended.

When you arrive, you will be welcomed with a beverage, and numbing cream will be applied for approximately 45 minutes for maximal effect. Your skin will then be fully cleansed for treatment. Morpheus8 is a small handpiece that secures the microneedle tip. A meticulous “pass” will be carefully guided over your skin in quickly paced pulses. Varying energy levels will be used to address individual aesthetic concerns. Depending on desired results, 3-4 Morpheus8 sessions may be needed. Afterwards, we expect the skin to have some mild swelling and redness in the treated areas which typically subsides in 1-2 days. If you opt for a more heavy treatment, this may be longer. For optimal epithelialization, healing, and results, please be kind to your skin and carefully observe the aftercare instructions.

PRE M8 CARE

1. Moisturize + hydrate from the inside out. Water + electrolytes and day/night skin care routines without retinoids or topical irritants.

2. Please STOP topical retinoids and topical irritants for 5 days prior to treatment.

3. If able, please HOLD all anticoagulants 3 days prior to treatment. Please consult with your prescribing physician.

4. Avoid sun exposure, self-tanning, spray tanning 10 days prior to treatment. This may cause uneven healing or scarring. If sun exposure is unavoidable, please use SPF+30 and up with frequent reapplications.

5. Please arrive with completely bare skin, no moisturizers, lotions, oils, BB creams, make-up on treatment ready areas.

POST M8 CARE

1. Immediately after treatment, mild swelling and redness similar to a sunburn is expected for 1-3 days. If you opted for a more aggressive regimen this may last longer. Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on the area and type of treatment, however normal activities may be resumed in 24-48 hours.

2. Moisturize moisturize moisturize gently, we recommend Aquaphor or Vaseline, no wraps or bandages necessary.

3. Please be kind and gentle to your skin, avoid scrubbing, exfoliating, and trauma to the treated area. Water or a very gentle cleanser may be used in the first 24-72 hours.

4. Sun exposure will likely lead to hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and/or shading. Please avoid sun exposure completely during healing.

5. The most effective way to reach your targeted goals with Morpheus8 is over multiple treatments 4-6 weeks apart for a gradual, natural change in the cellular network of the skin.

As is common with minimally-invasive procedures, after effects of RF microneedling with M8 also commonly include mild swelling and redness similar to a sunburn in the treated area(s) which subsides within 1-2 days.

If you do notice small scabs, flaking, or peeling skin temporarily in the first 72 hours, it is most important to let them shed naturally as your skin fully heals. Picking can lead to scarring, damage, delayed healing, and even infection. Rest assured, resisting the urge to pick or scrub will pay off and your drastically improved skin will emerge beautifully.

Depending on the treatment areas, some patients may experience temporary bruising and tenderness. We will be sure to advise on these potential side effects depending on the selected treatment areas. Over-the-counter medications easily manage any discomfort or irritation. Should you have any further questions or concerns, Dr. Lee is happy to consult and prescribe medications as needed to make your post-procedure experience as comfortable as possible.

The most certain way to avoid any complication is to commit to the post-treatment instructions. Most importantly, please refrain from direct sun exposure, use generous amounts of sunscreen, and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. We recommend Aquaphor or Vaseline.
