As the years go on, your body begins producing less collagen and elastin, which can emphasizes wrinkles and pores on your face. While several skin care procedures address these issues, Morpheus8 microneedling, offered in our Fort Worth office (and all our other locations), provides unique benefits for people with all skin types and tones. This popular Med Spa service has numerous benefits to take advantage of.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that produces intentional punctures in the skin using fine needles. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate your natural healing process and lead to an increased production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins that help maintain your skin’s firmness and elasticity.
Morpheus8 is an advanced form of microneedling that combines a traditional approach with radiofrequency energy. This process stimulates collagen production at deeper skin levels, making it effective for improving texture and tone, and contouring areas with excess fat.
There are several benefits to Morpheus8 microneedling for our patients living in Fort Worth. The combination of micro-injuries with radiofrequency energy helps tighten sagging skin. It is a popular choice when you are looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift. When it tightens the skin, it helps roll back wrinkles and kickstart new collagen production.
Like other microneedling devices, Morpheus8 also improves uneven skin tone, reduces the appearance of acne scars, and smooths rough skin texture. Morpheus8 microneedling is a versatile treatment option that can be used on various parts of the body, not just the face and neck. This makes it a good option for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types and tones and has a lower risk of hyperpigmentation when compared to some laser treatments. It is a powerful option when you are looking for significant skin refreshment and rejuvenation without surgery.
This is an outpatient procedure that involves several steps. During your initial consultation for Morpheus8 microneedling in our Fort Worth office, our skincare professionals assess your skin condition, discuss your goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate.
On the day of the procedure, your skin is cleaned and a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize any discomfort or pain. Morpheus8 is a handheld device with microfine needles. A computer adjusts the depth of the needles and the radiofrequency energy settings based on your skin type and goals.
The handheld device creates tiny micro-punctures in the skin, and as the needles penetrate, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis. This combination stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. The device is moved over the treatment area so you will get even coverage, and multiple passes maybe needed in some cases.
You will receive detailed instructions on how to care for your skin in the following days and weeks. You should follow these instructions carefully as they improve the results of the procedure and reduce your risk of complications.
Immediately after the treatment, we will apply a soothing ointment or serum. The microneedling enables serums to be better absorbed into the skin and soothe the treated area. You can expect some redness and swelling which goes away within just a couple of days.
Most people can resume their normal activities within one or two days. However, it is important to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks as your skin is typically more sun sensitive after treatment. You must also avoid strenuous activity and applying makeup for at least 24 hours.
If you need multiple sessions, they are usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to give your skin time to fully heal. Morpheus8 microneedling treatment is generally well tolerated but the treatment time can vary widely, depending on the area treated.
Microneedling offers many benefits to skin tightening and promoting your body’s collagen production. Our Fort Worth team offers Morpheus8 microneedling to take this process to the next level without increasing your recovery or downtime. Please call us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about the amazing benefits that comes with radiofrequency-assisted microneedling.
