As a Morpheus8 clinic in Vancouver, our clients come to us for different goals and outcomes. Morpheus8 is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment generating a lot of buzz. Hailed as an industry game-changer by beauty editors and TikTokers, it’s a relatively new treatment, so naturally, you might have questions about what to expect before and after treatment.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to address concerns like acne scars, fine lines, and sagging skin, particularly around the jowls and jawline.
Key Benefits of Morpheus8
- Stimulates collagen and elastin: The treatment’s primary benefit is triggering the skin’s natural healing response to produce more collagen and elastin, which are essential for firmness and elasticity.
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: By plumping the skin from within, Morpheus8 can make fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
- Tightens and lifts loose skin: The procedure can tighten sagging skin, especially in areas like the jawline, neck, and cheeks, providing a more lifted appearance.
- Breaks down scar tissue from acne or other injuries, reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scarring.
Dr. Kamani also uses Morpheus8 in Vancouver to address concerns like active acne. Morpheus8 resurfaces the skin, thereby reducing inflammation. Compared to surgical options, Morpheus8 is a non-invasive treatment with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime, making it a more convenient choice.
Expected Recovery Time
Although Morpheus8 is non-surgical,redness, slight swelling, and possible micro-lesions are to be expected and typically subside within a few days to a week. Most people can return to normal activities immediately, but it is often recommended to take a day or two off, or schedule your procedure for a Friday. It is crucial to follow aftercare instructions to minimize side effects, which may include:
- Redness and swelling: Similar to a mild sunburn, this is normal and should fade within a few hours to a few days.
- Micro-lesions: You may see tiny pinpricks for a few days after the treatment.
Most patients progress well through the initial healing phase within approximately one week., though it can vary. Avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and harsh skincare products for a few days. Keep your skin hydrated and protected with a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen.
Results from Morpheus8
You’ll likely see early improvements from Morpheus8 within the first few weeks, with your best results appearing over 3 to 6 months as your skin naturally rebuilds collagen. Immediate, subtle improvements like firmer and smoother skin may be visible soon after your session, with more dramatic improvements in wrinkles, texture, and skin tightening developing gradually.
