Looking for Morpheus8 in Peoria, IL? Come see us at Rammos Plastic Surgery & MedSpa! Below are answers to common questions about Morpheus8, including how it works, what it treats, downtime, and when you can expect results.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that tightens, contours, and rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production deep within the tissue. It is designed to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall tone on the face and body.
How does Morpheus8 work?
Morpheus8 uses ultrafine microneedles to deliver radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This controlled energy remodels collagen, tightens underlying tissue, and triggers natural skin healing for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What concerns does Morpheus8 treat?
Morpheus8 can improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity and sagging
- Uneven texture and enlarged pores
- Acne scars and stretch marks
- Jowls and jawline definition
- Crepey skin on the face and body
What areas can be treated?
Morpheus8 is safe and effective on multiple areas, including:
- Face and neck
- Under-eye area
- Jawline and jowls
- Abdomen
- Thighs and knees
- Arms and other body areas
Is Morpheus8 safe?
Yes. Morpheus8 is FDA-cleared and safe when performed by trained medical professionals. Treatments are fully customizable based on skin type, treatment area, and desired results.
Does Morpheus8 hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment to maximize comfort. Patients typically feel pressure, warmth, and mild prickling during the procedure, which is well tolerated.
How long does a Morpheus8 treatment take?
Treatment times vary by area but generally range from 30–60 minutes, including numbing time.
Is there downtime after Morpheus8?
Some downtime is expected. Patients may experience redness, swelling, mild bruising, or tiny scabs for several days. Most return to normal activities within 2–5 days, depending on treatment depth and area.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see optimal results with a series of 1–3 treatments, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements may be visible within a few weeks, with continued improvement over 3–6 months as collagen remodeling occurs.
Who is a good candidate for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is suitable for most skin types and tones and is ideal for patients seeking skin tightening and texture improvement without surgery. A consultation is required to determine if Morpheus8 is right for you.
Can Morpheus8 be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Morpheus8 is often combined with treatments such as BBL HERO™, injectables, or DiamondGlow® to enhance results and address multiple skin concerns.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
