Deep Blue Med Spa is proud to offer patients in NYC, Long Island, and Manhattan Morpheus8, a minimally-invasive treatment that can help to restore the firmness and texture of your skin. This treatment is ideal for addressing issues caused by aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations, which can cause the skin to appear loose or saggy. Morpheus8 can provide patients with a solution for skin tightening and rejuvenation on the face and body.
Morpheus8 is a type of microneedling device that delivers radio frequency (RF) energy in addition to traditional microneedling. The handheld device has tiny needles that are used to create micro-injuries in the skin, which in turn stimulate collagen production. The RF energy then heats the deeper layers of the skin, further promoting new collagen production and skin tightening.1 Morpheus8 is used for skin rejuvenation and can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections.2
Morpheus8 RF is a minimally-invasive treatment that provides several benefits for the skin. While each person’s skin is different and results may vary, some of the benefits of Morpheus8 include:
Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling is a versatile treatment for all skin types that can be used on various areas of the face, neck, and body. Some of the most common areas treated with Morpheus8 include:
Preparing for a Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatment begins with a consultation at Deep Blue Med Spa, where a licensed provider will evaluate your skin and determine if Morpheus8 is the right treatment for you. If you are a candidate for Morpheus8, you may need to discontinue certain medications such as blood thinners or retinoids before your treatment to reduce the risk of bleeding or bruising. You should avoid sun exposure for at least a week prior to your treatment to prevent sunburn or tanning. On the day of treatment, we ask that you cleanse the treatment area thoroughly to remove any makeup, oils, or dirt before arriving at your appointment.
During a Morpheus8 microneedling procedure, your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Then a handheld device that has tiny needles on its tip is used to make small punctures known as “micro-injuries” in the skin. This causes a controlled injury, which triggers the body’s natural healing process.
Recovery after Morpheus8 treatment is typically minimal. Some patients may experience post-procedure redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for a few days, but this should subside quickly. Patience can also experience slight skin irritation or dryness for a couple of days. It’s important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your practitioner and to protect the treated area from sun exposure for a few days after the procedure.
If you’re interested in finding out how Morpheus8 can help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed look for your skin, contact Deep Blue Med Spa to schedule a consultation. We are dedicated to providing the best service to our clients in Manhattan, Long Island, and NYC and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
The number of Morpheus8 sessions you’ll need depends on your unique skin condition and your desired outcomes. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended, with each session spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. During your initial consultation, your skincare professional will assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan. It’s important to remember that the results from Morpheus8 are cumulative, meaning the improvements may continue to unfold over time. Maintaining a proper skincare routine and protecting your skin from sun exposure are crucial to extending the benefits of the treatment.
Morpheus8 stands out from other microneedling options by incorporating radiofrequency energy into the treatment process. This combination allows for deeper penetration into the skin, which can lead to more significant improvements in skin texture and tone.
Unlike traditional microneedling, which primarily affects the superficial layers of the skin, Morpheus8 reaches deeper layers, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. This results in firmer, smoother skin. Additionally, Morpheus8 can target the subdermal fat layer, which isn’t typically addressed by conventional microneedling. Its versatility also extends beyond facial treatments to include areas like the body and hands. The integration of radiofrequency energy allows for precise targeting of specific skin issues, making it an effective solution for concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
Yes, Morpheus8 can be effectively combined with other cosmetic procedures. Depending on your specific skin concerns, it can be paired with treatments like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or injectables such as BOTOX® or dermal fillers.
By combining Morpheus8 with other procedures, you can enhance the overall outcome and address multiple concerns simultaneously. For example, while Morpheus8 improves skin texture and tone, dermal fillers can add volume and reduce wrinkles, offering a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the procedure. Pain levels can vary from person to person, but to ensure your comfort, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the session begins.
Patients often describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort, similar to the feeling of a mild sunburn. Some may also experience a slight tingling or prickling during the procedure. Post-treatment, you might notice some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, but these effects typically resolve quickly. Your practitioner will adjust the Morpheus8 settings according to your pain tolerance to keep you as comfortable as possible during the treatment.
Morpheus8 involves minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities right after the procedure.
The cost of Morpheus8 treatments varies based on several factors, including the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results. While the treatment is an investment in your skin’s health and appearance, many patients find the long-lasting benefits well worth the expense. Additionally, we offer package pricing for multiple sessions, making the treatment more cost-effective.
