Is Morpheus8 Painful?

Before performing Morpheus8, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to ensure a comfortable, stress-free treatment experience. Afterward, you have the option to take Tylenol and apply an ice pack to the skin to alleviate any soreness.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Those struggling with minor imperfections may potentially achieve their aesthetic goals within a single visit. Others can schedule a Morpheus8 touch-up appointment around 4 to 5 weeks after their initial appointment.

How Long Until I See Results?

Notable improvements in skin tone and texture will appear within the first week after your session. However, the full benefits of your procedure may take time to become evident, as the treatment process involves increased collagen production and skin firming from within. You can expect a beautiful transformation within three months.

How Soon Can I Travel After Morpheus8?

Patients can typically resume travel within 1 to 3 days after a Morpheus8 session, though waiting 5 to 7 days may be wise to avoid sun exposure and manage swelling.

Introduction to Morpheus8

Advancements in dermal rejuvenation procedures offer unique ways to achieve younger-looking skin, even more so when multiple techniques are used in tandem. The innovative Morpheus8™ treatment combines the powerful effects of microneedling to help smooth, tone, and balance the skin with the skin-tightening advantages of radiofrequency (RF) technology. Our Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Semira Bayati, offers non-surgical Morpheus8™ treatments to help firm, smooth, and replenish the skin while diminishing signs of aging.

What Is Morpheus8?

With conventional microneedling, a series of ultra-thin needles penetrates the skin to a therapeutic depth, triggering the body to increase collagen production. Collagen is a key protein that increases skin suppleness, radiance, and youthfulness, firming the complexion from the inside out. Morpheus8 takes this innovative process to the next level by incorporating cutting-edge radiofrequency energy to maximize collagen production. Morpheus8 has been approved by the FDA as a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) and is known to effortlessly reverse signs of aging without anesthesia, incisions, downtime, or scarring.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Morpheus8?

Dr. Bayati will provide a detailed consultation process to help determine if Morpheus8 is the right procedure for you. In general, patients with the following traits will qualify:

In good health
Free from active skin infections or uncontrolled medical issues
Realistic expectations
Struggling with volume loss, mild skin laxity, blemishes, wrinkles, lines, acne scarring, or hyperpigmentation

What Are the Benefits of Morpheus8?

When performed by a qualified provider, state-of-the-art Morpheus8™ treatments in Newport Beach offer a wide range of skin-rejuvenating benefits almost anywhere on the body, for virtually all skin types and tones. Some of the most common treatment areas include the face, the area around the eyes and mouth, the neck, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, chest, and the area above the knees. The Morpheus8™ combination of collagen induction therapy and heat energy can help:

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Tighten and lift mildly loose skin
Firm sagging skin
Smooth skin texture
Treat hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, rosacea, sun damage, and dark spots.

What to Expect on the Day of Morpheus8

The Morpheus8™ process begins with a topical anesthetic applied to the treatment areas. Once the area is properly numbed, our provider will slowly guide the pen-like handheld device across the skin over the affected areas, making small punctures with tiny, sterilized needles. The Morpheus8™ device can be adjusted to meet each patient’s needs while creating “micropunctures” and delivering RF energy into the dermal layers. The actual procedure time varies by patient, depending on their treatment areas and aesthetic goals; however, patients should generally plan for the entire visit to last at least 1 to 2 hours.

While a single Morpheus8™ treatment can be effective for many patients, a series of sessions may be recommended to achieve the best possible results.

How Long Do Morpheus8™ Results Last?

Since the Morpheus8™ treatment can penetrate deep layers of the skin, the results often last up to 1 year for many individuals. Overall, the longevity of effects will vary for each individual based on the complexities of the skin concern or condition being treated, the targeted location, and the number of sessions completed. Staying hydrated, using high-quality skincare products, and applying proper sunscreen are all ways to help prolong the results. Dr. Bayati will be able to provide a recommended treatment plan and session schedule during your personal consultation. All treatment plans are tailored to individual needs to achieve the most successful outcome.
