It can be disheartening to see the passage of time reflected on your skin. The lines, wrinkles, and the sagging jawline can seem to appear overnight. A facelift will bring you incredibly transformative results, but surgery isn’t a first choice for everyone. Now, thanks to advances in aesthetic technologies, you can still get the benefits of a facelift without undergoing surgery. Talk to your provider about Morpheus.
What It Is
Morpheus is the first—and so far, the only—FDA-approved full-body fractional technology that is capable of addressing problem areas on both the face and the body. Morpheus is a microneedling device that transmits radio frequency energy beneath the skin. As it works, Morpheus remodels the fat tissue, contracts the connective tissue, and tightens the skin.
Patients
Can choose to have the Morpheus treatment performed on nearly any part of the body. Some of the most common treatment areas are the face and neck, as sagging skin and poor skin texture are most highly visible here.
How It Works
Morpheus doesn’t require incisions or surgery. Instead, it uses microneedles to deliver thermal energy deep beneath the skin. The thermal energy is carefully controlled to prevent damage to non targeted tissues nearby. The thermal energy causes fat coagulation and connective tissue contraction. It also stimulates the production of collagen to lift and tighten sagging skin.
What to Expect
If your provider determines that you’re a good candidate for Morpheus, you’ll need to arrive at the office one hour before your scheduled treatment time. The technician will apply a topical numbing cream to the skin over your pre-selected treatment areas. Once the cream has taken effect, the provider will activate the device. It only takes about 30 to 45 minutes to perform the treatment. Downtime is minimal, but do be careful to follow your provider’s post-treatment instructions. You should begin seeing results within a few days.
