The Best Time for Morpheus8, a Fusion of Microneedling and Radiofrequency for Youthful Skin
Skincare looks a little different for everyone. Different skin types require different products, and some skin is more sensitive than others. That said, we all need a little boost sometimes. When you’re struggling with your skin and its health or appearance, there’s a whole world of rejuvenating treatments you can pursue. One of the best and most versatile is the Morpheus8 treatment – a brilliant combination of non-invasive microneedling and radiofrequency. These two things work together to help rejuvenate your skin and, over time, reveal healthier, glowing, and more youthful skin.
While the Morpheus8 can help you anytime, getting your treatments done in the winter may help optimize results. Read on to learn more about the Morpheus8 and why the cold, wintery months are the most productive times.
What is the Morpheus8?
The Morpheus8 is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines two effective methods into one quick, gentle device. Many traditional methods of skin tightening are painful, time-consuming, and require downtime and recovery. They also tend to come with risks such as scarring or infection. This is much less prevalent with the Morpheus8
The Morpheus8 is a safe, gentle, and comfortable treatment that has you in and out of the clinic in less than a day! It’s also suitable for use on many areas of the body, allowing you to create the toned, sculpted silhouette you’ve always wanted.
The microneedling creates small micro-punctures on the surface of your skin using tiny needles within the device. These “wounds” activate the skin’s natural healing process while boosting elastin and collagen stimulation.
The radiofrequency technology then works to target unwanted fat cells under the skin, heating them and helping your body eliminate them. This creates a firmer, tighter, and more toned look on the surface.
Morpheus8 Key Benefits
There are many reasons our clients keep coming back to the Morpheus8 as it offers a variety of benefits all at once:
- It treats skin laxity and removes fat at the same time
- Boosts collagen production – this is particularly good for those whose natural collagen is already declining
- It features several different configurations for different parts of the face
- It’s suitable for smaller areas of the face that other treatments can’t reach
- It’s safe for multiple skin types
- Results can be seen in just a few sessions
- It’s gentle, comfortable, and non-invasive
- It’s extremely low risk
- It requires no serious downtime, you can resume normal activities immediately
In addition, the Morpheus8 can be used to treat and combat a variety of different skin conditions and concerns:
- Unwanted fat on the face and body, simultaneously
- Stretch marks
- Acne
- Slow collagen production
- Under-eye circles and bags
- Lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and body
While everyone’s skin is different, these are the kinds of results you can expect from the Morpheus8 treatment. Most clients start seeing results after only a handful of sessions, though most require several treatments before achieving optimal results. How many you require depends on things like your age, your skin’s condition, your goals, your skin type, and more.
Once we get you in for a proper consultation, our skincare professionals can discuss the specifics with you and make a proper recommendation regarding treatment, frequency, and sessions.
Risks and Side Effects
There’s no doubt that the Morpheus8 is kinder, gentler, and more comfortable than true surgical procedures. However, there are still a few minimal side effects and risks you want to be aware of:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Light bruising
- Mild soreness or other irritation
- Scabbing/pin prick marks
If you do experience any of these things, they are often mild and subside quickly. Receiving the procedure from a trained and experienced professional will minimize these things, as well. However, if you are at all concerned about any side effects you may be seeing, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we’ll offer as much guidance as we can.
Why Morpheus8 is Best in the Winter
You can’t always control when you experience an unwarranted breakout or any other skin troubles. This is why we have a wide variety of amazing treatments that you can choose from.
That being said, if you want to maximize your Morpheus8 treatments, the winter is the best time to do this, for several reasons:
- Although there is no real downtime or involved recovery needed, your skin will be sensitive to sunlight and its UV rays. The sun isn’t quite as strong in winter months.
- Because it’s cold, most people are more inclined to stay inside for longer periods, meaning less exposure to sunlight at all.
- Due to the limited exposure to the sun, you’ll experience even fewer side effects and be at an even lower risk for complications.
- Overall activity is usually lower, allowing for faster and more comfortable healing.
Since most clients require several treatments to achieve the best results, we recommend starting at the beginning of winter. That way, you can receive plenty of winter skin rejuvenation throughout the season and head into summer with your best skin yet!
Aftercare Tips
Regardless of what season you opted for your Morpheus8 microneedling treatments, there are a few things you should keep in mind following each session:
- Always stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water is the best thing you can do as it keeps your skin healthy and plump.
- Wear SPF when going outside. Even if it’s an overcast day or it’s the dead of winter, the sun is still out. Apply a sunblock of at least SPF 30 whenever you’re exposed to the sun!
- Avoid harsh and intense skincare products following your treatments. Opt for gentle cleansers and simple moisturizers.
