MORPHEUS8
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally-invasive fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more refreshed appearance.
Morpheus8 is not just for the face. We can treat anywhere on the body where skin laxity is a concern. It is a wonderful solution for skin rejuvenation, as it can achieve multiple corrective actions simultaneously. Here are some of the concerns we can address with this advanced technology:
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Excess fat in the face and neck
- Sagging in the jowls, lower face and neck
- Acne scarring and other scarring on the face and body
- Deep lines and creases
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Stretchmarks
- Enhance glowing complexion

Additional Information
For your first three Morpheus8 treatments, they are each scheduled 4-6 weeks apart. After that, you can do maintenance treatments (or series) once a year.
A topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment so the pain is very minimal. Every patient has a vastly different pain tolerance and certain areas can be more sensitive.
Our Morpheus8 clients also have the option to add-on Pro-Nox, a pneumatically driven gas system designed to deliver a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture, for added comfort during the procedure.
Collagen production increases over the initial 28 days after your first treatment, but it is still necessary to wait to see the full results 60-90 days after your third treatment. Collagen can still continue to improve and produce in excess for up to 18 months after a series of treatments. Results are expected to last for a few years, however; understand that we cannot stop the aging process and your collagen will naturally deplete over the years.
No, this procedure will NOT be performed on sunburnt skin.
