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.

It is a quick, safe, effective and non-surgical treatment and works to achieve tighter, firmer, lifted skin of the face & neck. It is suitable for all skin types and age groups and there is no need for general anaesthetic.

The treatment is routinely performed under a topical anaesthetic so when you choose to have Morpheus8 there is no risk of scarring compared with traditional surgery and no downtime following the procedure.

Morpheus 8 is great for skin tightening and retexturing.  It has the ability to reach deeper subdermal tissues to cause collagen production it also repairs elastin in the skin that keep the skin tight.  Morpheus 8 is great for overall texture improvement as well.  As far as the brow lifting part of your question; the tightening effect of that you get from the Morpheus 8 will give you some improvement, but it's important to have realistic expectations.  This is not a surgical brow lift.

Each office is different in their policy of who performs this procedure.  It can be the physician, but often it is someone clinical that they have designated to do the treatments.

Morpheus8 is used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing by stimulating collagen production of the underlying layers of your dermis. Morpheus8 of the face can remodel the tissues of the face to reveal a more radiant smooth youthful appearance. The most common areas treated are the face and around the eyes....Yes it appears that you have taken excellent care of your skin. A doctor or aesthetician performs this treatment.

Laura A. Katz, MD · Answer

Morpheus8 is a great option to induce collagen formation, plumping, skin tightening and muscle contraction.  A doctor or aesthetician can perform the procedure, as long as he/she has completed the proper training.  As always, the safest option is to have the procedure performed in a medical sterile facility with a least a supervising physician available.
