Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses radio frequency technology to address unwanted signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin, and also aid in the prevention of aging skin. It can also reduce redness caused by rosacea and diminish acne scarring. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.
Morpheus8 Radio Frequency micro needling uses tiny needles to deliver RF energy beneath the skin without causing damage to the outer layer. The RF energy heats up the skin cells to stimulate the production of natural collagen and elastin in your skin, which are both important components of healthy, youthful looking skin. This increased production revitalizes the treated area and as a result you will see continued improvement in your skin long after your treatments.
The Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal contouring. The most treated areas include the face, periorbital area, abdomen, thighs, legs, and buttocks.
Skin concerns that can benefit from the Morpheus8 treatments:
Individuals of all skin types can benefit from Morpheus8 treatments. Because the energy is applied below the surface of the skin it makes treating darker complexions safe with little to no risk of hyperpigmentation. There are certain medical contraindications to a Radio Frequency Microneedling treatment such as having a pacemaker or similar implantable device or an active infection in the area we are treating and sometimes being on certain medications which cause bleeding. We always have a consultation with each person and during that time we will go over any medical or other concerns that might prevent you from being a good candidate for Morpheus 8.
You can expect visible results after only one treatment, but full effects will be best after a series of three or more treatments. Your results will become more noticeable over time as your tissue responds to the treatments and your body produces more collagen.
The results of the Morpheus 8 treatments are yours to keep! However, the aging process doesn’t stop, so depending on your skin we may recommend a maintenance treatment annually or more frequently to keep combating the process of aging.
To get the most benefit from your Morpheus8 treatments, we recommend using a quality sunscreen daily to protect your skin; a daily Retin-A to help combat the signs of aging. Since aging is a multifaceted process, during our consultation we can discuss the addition of neurotoxin treatments like Botox or Dysport, as well as a a good skin care regimen that will protect and nourish your skin! Ask us to help you build your anti-aging arsenal to keep you looking your beautiful, amazing self!
The number of treatments required for the desired effect vary. Your provider will take into consideration your skin’s texture, tone, and laxity to determine the right number of treatments for you. Most patients will receive great results within three treatments; however, some areas may need additional treatments.
Because the Morpheus8 can be an uncomfortable procedure, our goal is to provide the most comfort we can with a few options. We will apply a topical anesthetic to the area one hour prior to your session, and this will reduce the sensation in the skin. Additionally we can use injectable numbing to make the procedure close to painless or completely painless for most individuals. The radiofrequency technology will produce a warm feeling doing the procedure. Afterwards, you will have mild sunburn appearance/feel that will go away 24-48 hours. Some bruising and or swelling may also occur depending on the individual.
There is little to no downtime with the procedure! You can expect some redness and mild swelling in the areas treated. Also, you may experience some tiny scabs and or dryness that will fade as the skin heals. You may experience itching as your skin heals. Typically, most all symptoms will resolve in a few days, and you will be able to wear your favorite makeup within a few days. Occasionally you may have bruising or experience dryness of your skin with scaling. Because every individual is different, we suggest planning for healing time before any event.
Diolaze offers fast, permanent laser hair removal safely with one of the largest treatment sizes in the industry! Patients will experience a significant reduction in hair growth within a few treatments. For best results, at least six treatments are recommended with possible spot treatments here and there. The Diolaze may not be effective for those patients with blonde or gray hair. Diolaze Laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle and is not able to recognize light blonde or gray hair, so those hair follicles are not effectively treated.
Diolaze has one of the largest treatment surfaces with built in cooling. This offers a more comfortable and fast treatment.
Diolaze works best when hair follicles are mature. Hair growth occurs at varying rates, so multiple treatments are needed. The best results (80%-85%) are noticed after six treatments. The total number of treatments will vary according to hair color, type, area, and skin tone.
There is minimal to no down time! Patients may notice a mild sensitivity for the first 24 hours. We recommend wearing loose clothing to reduce friction.
The cost of laser hair removal is based upon the treatment area and number of treatments. We advise you schedule a consultation for exact details.
Lumecca is an advanced device that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to selectively target and treat skin specific conditions with minimal or no disruption to the surrounding normal skin.
Light to medium skin tones offer the best response from Lumecca. Conditions that respond best to Lumecca: Facial pigmentation, superficial vessels and redness, skin texture issues and/or photo-damage from the sun. The Lumecca has a built-in cooling tip that offers protection to the skin and reduce discomfort.
Your skin will be slightly red directly after the procedure. The sun damaged areas/spots that are treated will become darker as the area heals. Photo-damaged or pigmented skin will flake off within 2-3 days. The chest area may take slightly longer to heal. If having treatment for redness or broken capillaries, you may find the larger vessels become darker before they completely resolve, and smaller vessels may disappear immediately. Patients will be advised how to protect their skin during the two weeks following the treatment.
