Radiofrequency Microneedling: The All-Natural Treatment for a More Youthful Complexion (Morpheus8)
Oct 01, 2023
Morpheus8 uses advanced technology to merge radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to treat a variety of skin concerns, not the least of which are wrinkles, skin laxity, and other signs of aging.
Plastic surgeon Brian Blumenauer, MD, at Oceana Aesthetics in Stuart, Florida, offers top-level surgical and nonsurgical services, including Morpheus8 treatments.
Read why Dr. Blumenauer considers this innovative treatment an ideal option for individuals who want a minimally invasive solution to improve the appearance of aging skin.
Morpheus8 is a medical device that’s used for a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure known as bipolar fractionated radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. The treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to promote collagen production and skin tightening.
Microneedling is a procedure that uses multiple tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin and create microinjuries. This triggers the skin’s natural healing process, which includes increased collagen and elastin production. These crucial proteins help maintain the youthful elasticity of skin.
Radiofrequency treatments use radiofrequency energy to heat skin tissue. This controlled heating causes collagen fibers to contract, leading to firmer, smoother skin and increased collagen production.
Morpheus8 merges these two procedures. When the needles penetrate the skin, they also deliver radiofrequency energy, providing the combined benefits of both treatments.
The Morpheus8 system can help in a variety of ways. For example, it can:
Other conditions that respond well to fractional RF microneedling treatments include acne vulgaris, rosacea, and melasma.
Fractional RF microneedling with Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that offers stellar results without significant downtime. Furthermore, the treatment is suitable for all skin types and can address multiple concerns, such as wrinkles, scars, skin laxity, and uneven skin texture, in one session.
The Morpheus8 handheld device comes in varying sizes, which makes it versatile enough to treat small sites, such as the area around the eyes, as well as larger regions of the face and body. And, by controlling the depth and amount of energy delivered, the system ensures a consistent and safe treatment experience.
Furthermore, improvements can continue for six months after treatment. This is because RF microneedling boosts the body’s natural healing and collagen production processes in the weeks following treatment.
And if you're concerned about pain, you shouldn’t be. A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to prevent discomfort. And while you may experience mild redness or a warm sensation following treatment, this should subside quickly.
