Dr. Thomas W. Loeb is pleased to offer one of the newest facial contouring procedures for New Yorkers who want to look and feel years younger. Available since 2019, Morpheus8 treatment has gained popularity as a solution to lower face and neck wrinkles, discoloration, and acne scars. It can also be used on the knees, thighs, and abdomen to reduce the appearance of lumpy skin.
With Morpheus8, individuals receive a combination of microneedling and fractional radiofrequency resurfacing. Unlike other types of microneedling, the Morpheus8 device penetrates deeper into the adipose layer of skin to stimulate collagen production and the body’s natural anti-aging processes. It is widely considered one of the best non-invasive skin tightening treatments currently on the market.
This safe, minimally invasive treatment can be completed in 15 to 60 minutes under localized anesthesia. Patient downtime is very minimal. Micro-lesions and some redness can be expected for up to a week. However, makeup may be applied within 1-2 days to minimize the effects. Patients are advised to moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sunlight immediately after the procedure.
Visible results can be seen within a few days as mild swelling subsides, with the most noticeable results occurring at the three-week mark. Some patients require up to three sessions to achieve maximum improvement, typically spaced four to six weeks apart. It can take new collagen up to six months to form, so patients may continue to see improvements month after month.
Morpheus8 results last at least one year, with up to three years of noticeable improvement. Annual treatments will keep collagen production ramped up and provide continuous improvement. It lasts twice as long as other forms of microneedling. Individuals may consider combining it with another procedure like a mini-lift or full surgical facelift to achieve tone and texture enhancements along with more significant tightening and results that last 10 years or more.
