Introducing Our New Service: Skin Tightening with the Morpheus8
We are so excited to introduce our newest treatment using the Morpheus8 machine! This allows us to bring our radio frequency skin tightening service to the next level. We’re still offering our traditional RF skin tightening in addition to the Morpheus8. The Morpheus8 is an amazing addition to our family as it delivers the deepest fractional treatments available for stubborn areas in your body.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive modular RF fractional solution for full body subdermal adipose remodeling. Because it uses radio frequency, it is an amazing solution for fat reduction, skin tightening, and muscle toning.
How Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Works
Radio frequency skin tightening stimulates collagen production in the dermis layer of your skin by producing heat. Collagen is a protein made by skin cells that is responsible for your skin’s firmness.
Unfortunately, collagen production naturally starts to slow down in your mid-20s, at a rate of 1-2% loss, every year. Without adequate collagen, wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines can start to form or develop more quickly.
The ideal temperature for collagen stimulation is between 106°F and 110°F (41–43°C). Numerous studies have found that applying this level of heat to the dermis for over 3 minutes causes your body to release heat-shock proteins. These proteins actively stimulate your skin’s collagen production, thus leading to firmer looking skin.
How the Morpheus8 Works
Morpheus8 combines radio frequency technology, microneedling, and fractional treatments to address a variety of skincare problems. It uses an interchangeable portfolio of microneedling tips, with different pin configurations that penetrate deep into your skin to stimulate collagen production and coagulate adipose tissue (where fat is stored).

How Many Treatments Will You Need?
Depending on your Morpheus8 treatment regime you can expect to have between 1-3 sessions.
Visible results can be seen within a few days and results normally peak around 3 weeks. You can continue to see improvements up to three months after treatment. Results are long-lasting.
Recovery For Morpheus8 Treatment
Morpheus8 is nonsurgical and requires no anesthesia or sedation, therefore recovery is normally quick and easy. A topical numbing cream is applied to the area that you wish to improve, so your discomfort should be minimal.
Following the procedure, you should be able to go back to your daily routine without any downtime. You may notice some swelling, bruising, and tightness in the treated area, which normally goes away within a few days.
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.
Are You a Candidate for Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 treatments are not for everyone. The average candidate who sees optimal results are:
Ages 30-55 with visible signs of aging
Patients with active acne or acne scars that don’t respond to topical or oral treatment
