What Is Morpheus8?
Depending on your needs and cosmetic goals, Morpheus8, which uses a radiofrequency microneedling device, may be an option for you. Microneedling in general improves skin texture and quality, pore size, and increases collagen. The addition of radiofrequency to the treatment leads to added benefits of tightening and contouring due to changes in the deeper skin layers when energy is applied. Morpheus8 can also be used to treat specific conditions including scarring from acne, trauma, or prior surgery. Our double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Zionsville, Dr. Emily Hrisomalos, and Aesthetician Susan Barnes can help patients look more refreshed and youthful with Morpheus8 non-surgical skin tightening.
How Is the Morpheus8 Procedure Performed?
When deciding the best technique to employ, Dr. Hrisomalos and Susan take into consideration the patient’s unique skin texture, skin tone, and particular concerns. This is generally an in-office procedure unless combined with other surgical procedures. After numbing cream has been applied and given time to take effect, the face is thoroughly cleansed followed by treating the face and neck with this energy-based device based on a personalized treatment plan. Once the procedure is complete, a healing product will be applied and instructions will be re-discussed. This treatment is a “series” and the general recommendation is for 3 treatments spaced out by about 4-6 weeks. This series leads to significant improvements in the skin and deeper layers and achieves optimal results.
It is normal for patients to experience some discomfort during the treatment, but this does not linger on once the procedure is complete. Any residual discomfort may be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. There is no physical downtime for this procedure but bruising and swelling may be present for a couple of days and the length of time this takes to resolve is different for each patient. After the procedure, Dr. Hrisomalos or Susan will provide detailed post-procedure instructions to help guide you during healing.
How Much Does Morpheus8 Cost?
The overall cost of treatment will be different for every patient, as the procedure is individualized to each person’s own unique needs and aesthetic goals. Some factors that go into how much a person may spend on a Morpheus8 include the following:
- Treatment area (full face and neck treatment versus spot treatment)
- Complexity of treatment
- Number of treatments
- Additional adjuvant procedures
