What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge, nonsurgical treatment that blends radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to firm the skin, enhance texture and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and scars. This FDA-cleared technology can be applied to both the face and body, addressing a wide range of skin concerns, including: 

• Loose or sagging skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Stubborn fat deposits
• Stretch marks
• Acne scars
• Sun damage 
• Enlarged pores
• Scars on the face and body

The Morpheus8 handpiece offers a completely nonsurgical approach to skin remodeling, combining RF energy and microneedling for remarkable results. With no downtime required, it is safe for all skin types and can even be used on patients who have recently spent time in the sun (although it is not recommended). 

How Does Morpheus8 Work? 

During the Morpheus8 procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, ensuring you experience maximum comfort throughout the session. Once the numbing has taken full effect, the skin is carefully cleansed with a medical-grade antibacterial solution to create a pristine, sterile environment for the procedure. 

The innovative Morpheus8 handpiece features 24 ultra-fine microneedles that have been specifically designed to penetrate the surface of the skin. As these microneedles create microchannels in the skin surface, they simultaneously deliver controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy into the deeper dermal layers. This RF energy generates precise heat in the targeted areas, which stimulates the body’s natural collagen production process. Collagen, the key protein responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity, begins to rebuild and remodel the skin from deep within the dermis. 

This dual-action approach not only tightens the skin but also improves the overall texture and tone. The controlled heat from the RF waves targets and reduces the fat cells, further refining and contouring the treated area. Whether addressing fine lines, wrinkles or uneven skin texture, Morpheus8 works beneath the surface of the skin to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. 

The procedure itself is relatively quick, typically taking about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After the session, you may notice subtle improvements within a week as the skin begins its natural healing process. However, the real effects take place over the next few months. 

As collagen production ramps up and the skin continues to regenerate, you’ll see significant, long-lasting changes in your skin’s firmness, texture and overall radiance. Full results are usually visible around the three-month mark, leaving you with a rejuvenated complexion that continues improving over time. 

How Much Does Morpheus8 Cost? 

The cost of a Morpheus8 treatment averages around $1,825, based on reviews by patients around the country. 

Single Session

Prices can start as low as $500 for a single treatment session focused on a small area, such as the under-eye region or a small section of the face. 

Comprehensive Series

A full treatment series, which may involve multiple sessions across larger areas like the entire face, neck or body, can range anywhere from $4,000 and above. 

Additional Factors

The total cost of the treatment may also be influenced by the provider’s expertise, the geographical location of the practice and the specific areas being treated. Larger or more complex areas generally require more sessions, which can increase the overall price. 

Although the Morpheus8 treatment has enhanced effectiveness, it is still highly important to select an experienced provider. The precision required to safely and effectively perform Morpheus8 makes it crucial to avoid bargain shopping, as the skill of your provider plays a significant role in both the outcome and safety of the procedure. 

At The Ark Medspa, our providers are trained to perform all aesthetic treatments with precision and care, ensuring the safety and comfort of our patients. 

What Results Can I Expect from Morpheus8? 

Skin Tightening

Morpheus8 is highly effective in firming and tightening the skin, offering a solution for sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. By delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis through microneedles, this treatment stimulates collagen production, leading to a noticeable lifting effect and smoother appearance. 

Enhanced Skin Texture

The procedure works to refine the surface, correcting uneven skin tone and rough patches throughout the skin. This results in a more even, polished complexion that looks naturally revitalized. 

Diminished Acne Scarring

Morpheus8 is designed to target and reduce the appearance of acne scars. By penetrating deep into the skin, the RF energy encourages the regeneration of new, healthy skin and assists in smoothing out scarred areas, producing a clearer, more even skin surface. 

Reduced Stretch Marks

Stretch marks can be significantly diminished with Morpheus8. The treatment works by breaking down scar tissue and enhancing the skin’s elasticity, leading to a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks and a more unified skin texture. 

Less Puffiness

If you struggle with puffiness and swelling, Morpheus8 can help. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the treatment reduces fluid retention and the appearance of puffiness, providing a more refreshed look. 

Minimized Superficial Capillaries

Morpheus8 can also improve the appearance of superficial capillaries (smaller blood vessels that lie underneath the surface of the skin that widen and create visible line patterns). The RF energy helps to diminish the visibility of these small, dilated blood vessels, leading to a more even skin tone. 

Radiant Glow

One of the standout benefits of Morpheus8 is its ability to restore a healthy glow to your skin. The treatment revitalizes your complexion, giving it a natural, radiant luminosity that enhances your overall appearance. 

Results Timeline

Many patients will start to notice improvements within a week of their Morpheus8 treatment. However, the full results develop gradually over up to three months as collagen production continues to increase. The ongoing effects of the treatment enhance skin quality and firmness over time. 

Suitability and Downtime

Morpheus8 is appropriate for most skin types and tones. The procedure typically involves minimal downtime, though this can vary depending on the depth of the treatment and individual healing responses. Overall, it’s a convenient option for those seeking significant skin improvements with minimal disruption to their daily routine. 

Are There Any Risks with Morpheus8?

Although Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment with many impressive benefits, it’s vital to approach any procedure with a clear understanding of its safety profile. Morpheus8 is designed to deliver effective results with minimal risk, and by being informed about potential considerations, you can make confident decisions about your skincare journey. 

With the right care and guidance from our skilled providers at The Ark Medspa, the risk of complications is minimized, ensuring you can enjoy the effects of Morpheus8 with peace of mind. However, here are some risks that have been associated with Morpheus8 in the past:

Redness, Swelling and Bruising

After a Morpheus8 treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness, swelling and bruising. These side effects are generally mild and tend to subside within just a few days. If bruising occurs, it can be easily concealed with the use of makeup, allowing you to continue with your daily activities without interruption. 

Skin Blisters

The microneedles that are used during the procedure create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which can result in small scabs or blisters in the first initial days. To ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of scarring, it’s important to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions and avoid picking at these scabs.  

Allergic Reactions

There is a minor risk of an allergic reaction to a local anesthetic used to numb the treatment area. If you are known to have a history of allergic reactions or sensitivities, please be sure to discuss this with your provider prior to your treatment so they can take appropriate precautions. 

Temporary Changes in Skin Pigmentation or Texture

You might notice temporary changes in skin pigmentation or texture, especially if the treated areas are exposed to direct sunlight before they have fully healed. To further prevent these issues, protect your skin with sunscreen and follow any post-treatment care recommendations provided by your practitioner. 

Burning Sensation

Some patients may experience a burning sensation in the treated area during or after the procedure. This can be more pronounced in individuals with sensitive skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis. If you have a known history of these skin conditions, consult with your provider to determine if Morpheus8 is the right choice for you. 

How Many Morpheus8 Treatments Do I Need?

To achieve optimal results with Morpheus8, most patients need between one and four treatments. These sessions should be properly spaced out, around four to eight weeks apart to allow sufficient time for the skin to heal and regenerate. This spacing ensures that each treatment builds upon the last, optimizing the overall effectiveness of your treatment. 

Initial Series

The exact number of treatments required varies based on individual goals and skin conditions. This series is designed to deliver cumulative benefits, enhancing skin texture, firmness and appearance. This series is designed to deliver cumulative benefits, significantly enhancing the skin’s texture, firmness and overall appearance. Each session contributes to a progressive improvement, creating a more youthful and revitalized appearance over time. 

Maintenance

After the initial treatments, a single maintenance session per year is typically recommended to sustain results and reinforce the improvements. Following this schedule helps ensure long-term skin rejuvenation and a youthful, radiant complexion. This ongoing maintenance helps ensure long-term skin rejuvenation, preserving an improved complexion and addressing any new skin concerns that may arise.
