Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types as it uses colour-blind technology. This means that even darker skin tones can be safely treated, and great results can be achieved. This treatment also has a reduced risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can often occur with other types of resurfacing treatments that aren’t suitable for all skin types.

The ideal patient for Morpheus8 is someone who is beginning to see the visible signs of ageing including wrinkles and mild to moderate sagging skin.

It is also suitable for patients who are looking to improve the quality of the skin and reduce acne scarring.

The best way to see if you are suitable for treatment is to come in for a consultation with our skin experts.

Morpheus8 is a form of microneedling, so some discomfort is likely to be felt during treatment.

We advise that patients have numbing cream applied to the area being treated ahead of treatment. Although discomfort may be felt at times, the treatment is certainly bearable, and our expert practitioners will help to ensure that you are feeling as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.

Tenderness to the area being treated can also be felt post treatment but this should only last 24 hours and does not usually require any pain relief.

The Morpheus8 treatment time is usually around 30-60 minutes depending on the areas being treated.

Morpheus8 treatment is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and chest/décolletage. But it can also be a very effective treatment to treat wrinkling, sagging, stretch marks and scarring on other areas of the body including the arms, legs, thighs, abdomen/stomach, and buttocks.

Morpheus8 is a much more advanced microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency technology.

The microneedling part of the treatment creates channels which then allows the radiofrequency energy to target the deep dermal layers of the skin to help tighten and plump the skin from beneath.

Visible results can begin to be seen 1-2 weeks after your first treatment.

The best results are seen after 3 weeks as this is when the production of new collagen and elastin will start to take effect.

Results can last up to 3-6 months following your last treatment.

In the majority of cases, patients are advised to have 1-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for the best results.

The number of treatment sessions required will be dependent on the skin and area/s being treated.

During your consultation, our expert skin practitioners will be able to provide a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve the results you want.

Overall, the downtime for Morpheus8 treatment is minimal however the recovery time required will be dependent on the treatment area sensitivity.

Immediately after treatment you will experience redness, swelling and small marks or bruising to the area treated. We recommend that you refrain from touching your skin to prevent infection.

In the days following treatment, you may experience areas of the skin that feel tight and appear shiny. Peeling or flaking from the skin is also common.

Most patients are able to return to their usual activities within 1-2 days post treatment although care must be taken to protect the area/s treated from sun exposure by using sun protection daily.

At your consultation and after your treatment our expert practitioners will be able to provide detailed aftercare advice and answer any questions you have regarding this.

We recommend that makeup is avoided for at least 24-48 hours after your treatment. This is because there may be a few micro lesions on the surface of the skin that need to be kept clean. Our expert practitioners will be able to advise you on your aftercare post treatment.

Yes, Morpheus8 is a great addition to other non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers to help you achieve a natural result.

It is also a great treatment to have after plastic surgery procedures such as a facelift to help maintain your results.

Morpheus8 is a popular treatment with many celebrities and is often hailed as the reason for their youthful and glowing skin.

Celebrities such as sports star, Judy Murray has most noticeably reduced the signs of ageing on her skin after multiple sessions of Morpheus8 paired with a cosmeceutical product. Her results are often shown to us in clinic with patients asking for the same treatment.

Other celebrity fans of Morpheus8 treatment includes Amanda Holden, Kim Kardashian West, Paula Abdul, January Jones and makeup artist to the stars, Mary Phillips.

Morpheus8 is considered to be a safe treatment when performed by an experienced practitioner.

Morpheus8 is a subepidermal adipose remodelling device (SARD) that is FDA approved.

The treatment does create controlled microdamage to the skin, however this should not leave any lasting damage to your skin although you may experience some temporary side effects such as redness, swelling and bruising.

Like all treatments, Morpheus8 does have side effects which includes:

Temporary redness, pinpoint bleeding, scabbing, light swelling, pinprick marks, bruising and dry or flaky skin.

More serious side effects or complications are rare however blisters, scarring and areas of hyperpigmentation can occur.
