Everything You Need to Know Before Your Morpheus8 Treatment

Morpheus8 is the buzzword in the beauty world, with everyone from Kim Kardashian to your favorite influencers raving about transformative effects. But is it really worth the hype? Let's dive into the details.

Combining the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 is one of the most advanced anti-aging treatments available. It effectively addresses a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, crepey skin, acne scars, cellulite, and laxity, all with minimal downtime! But what sets it apart, and is it the right choice for you?

What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is an FDA-approved treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to achieve smoother, tighter, and more evenly toned skin. The treatment can be applied to the face, neck, and body, addressing concerns like:

• Wrinkles
• Crepey skin
• Acne scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Rosacea
• Uneven skin tone
• Uneven skin texture
• Cellulite
• Stretch marks
• Skin laxity

This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, with minimal downtime, making it a top choice for many.

How Long Does Morpheus8 Last?

One of the most common questions is about the longevity of Morpheus8 results. Typically, results from Morpheus8 can last anywhere between 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, age, and how well you take care of your skin post-treatment. Regular maintenance sessions, usually 1-2 per year, to continue building collagen and building off of those great results to keep your skin looking its best.

What Is the Best Age for Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is highly effective for a broad age range, typically starting from the late 20s to 60s. Younger patients may use it as a preventative treatment, while older patients often seek it for its powerful anti-aging effects. The best age for Morpheus8 depends on your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. A consultation with an experienced provider, like the experts at SkinSpirit,  will help determine the right timing for you.

How Long Until You See Morpheus8 Results?

While some improvement may be visible immediately after the treatment, the full effects of Morpheus8 develop gradually over time. You can expect to see significant results within 3 to 6 months as your skin continues to produce new collagen and elastin. For the best results, a series of 3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended.

How Much Is Morpheus8?

The cost of Morpheus8 can vary depending on the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and the specific med spa. On average, prices can range anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 per session. 

Is Morpheus8 Right for You?

While Morpheus8 is great for all skin types and a variety of  skin concerns, the best candidates are those who have been diligent with their skincare routines, particularly using medical-grade products. As Audi Padmasuta, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist in Seattle, advises, “Absolutely no sun exposure prior to treatment, including self-tanner and tanning beds!”

Justine Lewis, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist in Dallas, adds that patients should avoid fillers in the three weeks leading up to their Morpheus8 treatment. "I recommend getting Morpheus8 before filler if that is your plan," she says.

What to Expect During Your Morpheus8 Treatment

Before Morpheus8 treatment, a consultation is important to tailor the treatment to your specific skin type and concerns. The treatment itself uses tiny needles to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production across three skin layers—the epidermis, dermis, and subdermal adipose layer. This depth allows for significant rejuvenation, strengthening, and tightening of the skin.

For those concerned about discomfort, a mild anesthetic is available. Additionally, Pro-Nox™ is offered to ease nerves and enhance comfort, providing a calming effect similar to laughing gas used in dental procedures.

Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance

After your Morpheus8 session, it’s important to pamper your skin with gentle care. Use a soothing cleanser, keep your skin hydrated, and avoid sun exposure. Some redness or swelling may occur but typically resolves within a couple of days. To aid recovery, you’ll receive a complimentary Sente Daily Repair Essentials Starter Kit, filled with products designed to soothe and heal your skin.
