What to Expect

This depends on your objectives, and we’ll provide more guidance when we talk with you about your Morpheus8 treatment. Typically we recommend 3-4 treatments to restore your skin back to the youthful, smooth appearance it used to have.

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment. Subsequent treatments will elevate results even further!

Just like you, the experience of discomfort is unique. We do our best to make you as comfortable as possible during your procedure — we always apply a numbing cream for at least 45 minutes, and our providers are highly-trained soothing, motivating presences that walk you through the whole process.

Most people describe the sensation of Morpheus8 as a stinging or burning, only for the split second when the needles are inserted and energy is applied. Your provider will use settings that balance optimal results with your comfort. And, we can adjust the treatment if the sensation is a bit too intense!

At the end of your treatment your provider will apply a cooling barrier cream that will protect your face from irritation and discomfort. You should have no discomfort at all by the end of your appointment and we’ll send you home with post-treatment instructions.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. To keep it simple, a bunch of tiny needles gently and repeatedly poke at your dermis (the deeper part of the skin), nudging dormant skin cells to produce more collagen.

Morpheus8 is an extremely safe treatment and no permanent problems have been reported. Some patients may experience redness, increased sensitivity and irritation or peeling of the skin in the first one to three days after a Morpheus8 treatment. Following the post-procedure instructions is important to ensure a quick resolution of these post-treatment symptoms.

Morpheus8 cannot be performed while pregnant or breastfeeding. Otherwise, treatments are safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin.

Microneedling treatments can target skin on a deeper level giving different results than Botox would. Neuromodulators, like Botox, weaken the muscles of the face, reducing how strongly the skin can move and wrinkle as you make facial expressions, which reduces the appearance of existing lines and wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming. They are not able to change the composition or quality of the skin, so while you may look more rested and your skin may look more ageless, neuromodulators can’t help with dullness, acne, rosacea, scarring, or hyperpigmentation.

Microneedling targets the entire area of skin on a deeper level, resulting in improvements in skin tone, texture and appearance. Pairing neuromodulators with microneedling is an amazing way to improve your skin’s health and appearance!

Keeping your skin clean and healthy are the best ways to prepare for your Morpheus8 session. We recommend avoiding the use of microneedling on active rashes or rosacea. It is also advised to stay out of direct sunlight and to use regular sunscreen prior to your treatment.

If you are a Botox or filler patient, you’ll want to ensure you have a window between appointments and your Morpheus8 treatment. We recommend scheduling at least two weeks after Botox treatment and at least three weeks after any new filler.

Prior to your treatment, we will apply a topical numbing agent to reduce any pain or discomfort and treatment should be painless for most people. Everyone experiences pain slightly differently, so you may experience a bit of sensation. We’ll do our best to make sure you’re comfortable!

You should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also (always!) recommended that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
