This advanced microneedling treatment was developed to stimulate remodeling in the adipose tissue of the dermis. Designed by In Mode Aesthetics, a leading manufacturer in the radiofrequency technology arena, Morpheus8 is the only device that combines radiofrequency with the microneedling technique. On its own, microneedling provokes a healing response in which collagen proliferation increases.
With Morpheus8, collagen increase is only the icing on the cake. By inserting radiofrequency energy into tissue up to approximately 7mm deep, this device prompts tissue remodeling that includes thickening and tightening. At the MAC, our award-winning team performs Morpheus8 treatments using a local anesthetic to decrease the sensation of both the microneedles and radiofrequency energy penetration. If this is inadequate for pain control we offer nitrous oxide ProNox.
After the topical numbing cream has desensitized the skin, we begin treatment using a small handheld applicator. The tip of the applicator has several tiny needles that are powered with radiofrequency via the device platform.
Your treating clinician places the applicator against the skin for a few seconds while energy is inserted through the needles. The applicator is then removed from the surface and placed onto the adjacent area.
The motion is somewhat like a stamping technique rather than moving the applicator across the skin. Morpheus8 is an excellent solution for facial rejuvenation because it can achieve multiple corrections simultaneously. Treatment is most commonly performed on the lower face and neck areas.
