It’s a well-known fact that as we get older, our bodies go through different changes, including our largest organ, the skin.

As we age, our skin starts to show fine lines and wrinkles because the collagen production in our bodies slows down or doesn't work as well. This makes our skin less tight.

While we accept the natural process of getting older as a positive journey, we also understand the importance of looking and feeling our best along the way. This can boost our self-confidence, improve our mental well-being, and increase our overall satisfaction with life.

It’s also worth mentioning that loose skin can occur in other situations, like when someone loses a significant amount of weight.

That’s where Morpheus8 comes in.

At Lougheed Laser, located in Burnaby, British Columbia, we’ve seen fantastic results and found Morpheus8 treatment effective and safe.

In this blog post, we’ll answer your Morpheus8-related questions, such as what a Morpheus8 treatment is, how Morpheus8 works and what to do before and after Morpheus8. Here’s your guide to Morpheus8 treatment.

What is a Morpheus8 Treatment?

(Morpheus8 device)

Morpheus8 treatment is a non-surgical procedure that combines radiofrequency technology and microneedling. With the Morpheus8 device, controlled energy is delivered to the skin to enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation.

One of the great things about Morpheus8 is that it doesn't require surgery, making it an excellent choice if you want to avoid traditional operations, which can leave scars and require longer recovery periods. It's also beneficial for individuals who have had surgical procedures but still have concerns about loose skin.

The Morpheus8 system offers two treatment modes, cycle and fixed, allowing for further customization of the treatment. The fixed mode can be used to target the remodeling of fatty tissue in the lower face.

While its primary purpose is skin tightening, Morpheus8 can also improve skin texture. But much more, how exactly does Morpheus8 achieve these results?

How Does Morpheus8 Work?

Morpheus8 achieves skin tightening by using low-frequency electromagnetic waves to create thermal heat at controlled depths within the layers of the skin. This heat energy then triggers a healing response.

During the healing process, the skin produces new collagen, elastin, and resurfacing new skin cells. These elements are essential for making the skin firmer and healthier.

What’s truly remarkable about this innovative technology is its versatility. For instance, research has shown that Morpheus8 is effective in treating cellulite. Thanks to the device’s specialized tips, it’s also well-suited for treating small, delicate areas and precise facial contours.

Furthermore, unlike laser treatments, Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types, regardless of your Fitzpatrick skin type.

What is Morpheus8 Used For?

Morpheus8 is versatile and can be applied to various areas of the body, such as the face, chest, arms, abdomen, and even knees.

Research has demonstrated that Morpheus8 is both beneficial and safe for the following conditions:

• Scarring: Whether it’s after an acute acne flare-up or from an injury, scar formation results from dense and thickened collagen at the skin site. Morpheus8 disrupts this abnormal collagen structure and encourages new collagen growth with a more uniform pattern.

• Loose skin: One of the most common applications of Morpheus8 is its remarkable ability to tighten loose skin, making it a game-changing solution.

• Wrinkles: Morpheus8 diminishes the appearance of wrinkles.

• Fine lines: Similar to wrinkles, Morpheus8 reduces fine lines around the forehead, eyes, mouth etc.

• Stretchmarks: Morpheus8 lessens the visibility of stretch marks, leading to a smoother and less prominent appearance over time.

• Sunspots: Morpheus8 evens out skin tone, which leads to the fading of sunspots.

• Overall skin texture: Morpheus8 helps to achieve smoother and a more youthful skin texture.

During your consultation, our medical experts will assess your specific situation and provide recommendations, including potential alternative options, to help you achieve your desired outcome.

How Long Do Morpheus8 Results Last?

You might see results from Morpheus8 pretty quickly, but how long those results last can be different for each person. It depends on things like your age, how healthy your skin was before, and how you take care of your skin after the treatment.

In addition, if you use medical-grade skincare products and have a healthy lifestyle, the effects can last longer.

But a general rule of thumb is 12 to 18 months.

What To Know Before Morpheus8

Before your treatment, note these:

• No retinol for a minimum of 7 days prior. The same goes for Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) or Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) as active ingredients in your skincare regimen.
• We’d advise 3-5 treatments, about 1 month apart, for the best results.

What To Do After Morpheus8

After your treatment, it's normal to experience some swelling, redness, and maybe even a little bruising at the treated area. Don't worry; these effects will go away soon.

Here are some important things to keep in mind during the recovery period:

• Be careful not to touch your face too often.
• Change your bed sheets, pillowcases and towels.
• Avoid makeup for the first 48 hours. Afterwards, when you want to use makeup, use only mineral makeup.
• If you want to use tinted SPF during this 48-hour period, apply with your fingers.
• Avoid situations that cause excessive sweating, such as hot showers, hot tubs, hot baths, sauna/steam rooms, hot/steaming water and intense cardio/working out, for 48 hours.
• Ensure you stay hydrated.
• Follow the exact post-treatment instructions based on your consultation because this can be individualized based on your medical history, age, etc.

If you experience any major problems after the treatment, inform your treatment provider as soon as possible.
