This treatment can reverse signs of aging while providing a more lifted and revitalized appearance. Safe levels of low-frequency electromagnetic waves are used to generate heat that penetrates deep into the layers of skin, where it stimulates to production of new cells, along with increased collagen and elastin to firm the skin.
MORPHEUS8: HOW DO RADIOFREQUENCY TREATMENTS WORK?
“What is Morpheus8 good for?”
Radiofrequency-based treatments are non-surgical procedures that can provide a tighter, more youthful look to the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) is a type of energy used in almost all medical specialities and is found in the technology we use in everyday life, including everything from WiFi signals to microwaves. RF energy can pass through human tissue and create thermal energy. The heat that devices such as Morpheus8 generate encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that help you maintain strong, elastic skin.
HOW DOES MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING WORK?
New collagen doesn’t just “happen.” There has to be something—typically an injury—that prompts specialized cells to make more of the protein. Morpheus8 does this in two ways: microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Microneedling treatments involve small needles making channels in the skin. Each channel is tiny, but significant enough to start healing processes that include collagen production to close the wounds. Since there is no single large injury to address, the repairs quickly take care of the microneedling channels, as well as the surrounding skin left intact by the treatment. The result is improvement to the look and feel of this tissue.
Radiofrequency energy can also kickstart collagen production, and it is often used by devices that send it through the surface of the skin to impact underlying layers. Morpheus8 elevates this idea by using the microneedling not only as a collagen-induction strategy, but also to directly deliver the RF energy. This allows for greater precision, with RF energy traveling down the needles to precise depths.
Pairing microneedling with RF “doubles” the collagen-generating power of a Morpheus8 treatment and also remodels existing collagen and fat below the surface to tighten away laxity and create a smoother surface.
Although Morpheus8 is the device that provides the deepest such treatments available, it still is a matter of only 4 millimeters and can be used all over the face and body. While it is most commonly applied to address wrinkles on the face and neck, it can also improve the appearance of both trauma and acne scars, stretch marks, and areas where skin has lost elasticity. This treatment provides subtle improvements.
Morpheus8 RF microneedling at Rockland, Maine’s Skin Klinic & Day Spa uses radiofrequency energy paired with the creation of micro-channels in the skin to reinvigorate collagen production and prompt other benefits that smooth facial wrinkles, improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and tighten inelastic areas.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
Morpheus8 is a powerful device that provides many benefits for the face, neck, and body because of its ability to rebuild collagen and elastin. It can add overall plumpness or fullness to the skin, minimize fine lines or wrinkles, provide a smoother skin texture, reduce enlarged or pronounced pores, improve the appearance of acne scars or marks, sculpt a more chiselled jawline and defined cheekbones, and give the skin a firmer, tighter, and more lifted look.
MORPHEUS8 VS. TRADITIONAL MICRONEEDLING: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Is Morpheus8 better than microneedling? These radiofrequency skin tightening treatments are not the same as microneedling, although they work similarly. Both treatments improve similar types of concerns, such as wrinkles and uneven skin texture. However, traditional microneedling does not involve radiofrequency or the precise depth and temperature controls that are possible with RF microneedling treatments. Microneedling also has a shallower depth.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
Radiofrequency skin tightening treatments with Morpheus8 are safe for all skin types and tones. It can be a great alternative for patients who want to avoid fillers or other treatments that involve needles. This treatment may also be an excellent option for those who want to tighten skin without cosmetic surgery. The heat from Morpheus8 can be adjusted to prevent unwanted discoloration, and it is unlikely for hyperpigmentation to occur. If you are in overall good shape, you are likely to be a good candidate for Morpheus8.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURE?
If you are thinking of having this procedure, you may be wondering, “What happens during Morpheus8 treatment? Since microneedling involves puncturing the skin and RF energy generates heat below the surface, we offer a prescription topical numbing cream that has been specially formulated for Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatments. Everyone has a unique tolerance for discomfort, so we also provide nitrous oxide to manage physical sensation, as well as anxiety.
WHAT ARE RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE LIKE FOR MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
Downtime is minimal after Morpheus8 RF microneedling. Tiny marks will be visible for a few days, but these can be covered once makeup can be applied again one to two days after the treatment. There may also be slight redness for about a week. Moisturize and avoid sun exposure during this time to protect against damage to the sensitive treatment area. Use mild cleansers and moisturizers. You should avoid makeup, aggressive skincare, or anything with actives such as retinol for at least 24 hours when the skin is most vulnerable after this treatment.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS FROM MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING LAST?
The results from Morpheus8 won’t be visible right away because collagen won’t rebuild overnight. It can take some time for the full results to show as your skin gradually creates new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. Results from Morpheus8 will become increasingly visible within two to six months as collagen levels improve in the skin. The ideal effects may require one to three sessions. The results from Morpheus8 will typically last for around one year, but the duration will depend on your body’s ability to create collagen and your lifestyle choices.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE ASIDE FROM MORPHEUS8 RF MICRONEEDLING?
While Morpheus8 is ideal for collagen stimulation, it is not the only such treatment available at Skin Klinic & Day Spa. We also offer AQUAGOLD® Fine Touch™, which—like typical microneedling treatments—creates tiny channels to stimulate collagen-producing cells. Unlike other microneedling treatments, however, AQUAGOLD® needles also serve to provide custom-blended injections of various rejuvenating products including prescription wrinkle-relaxers (like BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau™) and dermal fillers (like Juvederm®, RHA®, Radiesse®, and Versa®). Wrinkle relaxers work on dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet and frown lines, which develop because of our habitual facial expressions. These injectables relax the muscles that are responsible for causing motion-related wrinkles. Fillers are gel-like substances that are introduced to add temporary volume beneath the skin. Some fillers can stimulate natural collagen growth in the skin gradually.
