Longterm Benefits of Morpheus8?​

Thanks Honest144584 for your question! Morpheus is a well-liked cosmetic technique that enhances skin tone and texture by combining radiofrequency radiation and microneedling to promote collagen formation.
While the immediate results are noticeable, the long-term benefits are even more significant. The procedure promotes the body's natural process of producing collagen. While this process slows down with age, the initial boost provided by Morpheus8 can lead to a more gradual decline in collagen levels compared to someone who hasn't had the treatment.
The process can help tighten loose skin, especially around the neck and jawline. This effect can be long-lasting, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Depending on variables including age, skin type, and general health, each person may have different outcomes using Morpheus. While Morpheus can slow down the aging process, it cannot stop it entirely. As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, and this will eventually impact everyone. To maintain optimal results, some individuals may benefit from occasional maintenance treatments.
In conclusion, Morpheus can considerably slow down the aging process and enhance the general condition of your skin, even though it cannot totally stop it. The advantages of this therapy may endure for a long time by promoting the creation of collagen and enhancing skin tone and texture. Not any noninvasive procedure can stop the aging process.

Generally speaking, in our practice we recommend 3 consecutive treatments for each area of concern spaced out about 4-6 weeks apart from each other. These treatments are actively causing microtraumas to the skin which stimulates your body to start repairing itself. This stimulates collagen growth and can reverse existing signs of aging. Maintenance treatments would be necessary to maintain your results and fight off new signs of aging. For these we recommend 1 or 2 treatments a year or every 6 months. You will not necessarily go "back to baseline" if you do these initial treatments and do not chose to continue with maintenance treatments. Your new baseline is the peak of your results, which would be between 3-6 months after your last treatment. From there, the normal aging process continues, and new signs of aging may form hence, the need for maintenance treatments annually or biannually.

Thus far we have been offering morpheus treatments for the last 7 plus years and we have seen long lasting benefits. I have not noticed thus far any disappearance or reversion to former skin status. Having said that, that is also dependent on weight stability, no new bad habits like excessive tanning or smoking.

With correct aftercare (healthy diet, exercise and SPF), results will be maintained. Morpheus8 was deemed a nonsurgical facelift for a reason. If you are aiming for dramatic or more noticeable results, a deep plane facelift makes more sense.

However, if you're in your 30's-40's... I'd say you should expect to continue to see results. As you may know results continue for 6 weeks post procedure. In result, you will notice subtle differences as time passes. If you have more mature skin, you might slightly see a difference quicker. It truly can go both ways depending on the current state of your skin.

Radiofrequency microneedling results are expected to last 1-2 years. Meaning most patients will come in for "maintenance" sessions. Some patients who are proactive in our office come are expected to come in once a year to every 4.

To help maintain, keep up with your skincare and SPF!
