Morpheus8 - Who is qualified to perform this procedure?

Question

Hello, I’m 49 and considering Morpheus8. Can you tell me who is qualified to perform this procedure? I’ve talked to a meddle with a regular esthetician that performs it and others that have nurse practitioners and doctors. Is it ok to have done by a regular esthetician?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

The company inmode offers detailed morpheus training and inservices.  Any individual who performs morpheus on patients should have this training and have performed clinicals on several patients as well.  At our office, only a board certified physician performs the procedure.
