If you’ve heard of Morpheus8 and you’re wondering if it might be for you, you’re in the right place. Morpheus8 is a popular treatment here at Coco Med Spa for a variety of skin concerns and today, we’re discussing some of the symptoms we see that we may recommend this treatment for. Although this list is not exhaustive, it does include some of the most common things that we treat with this service.
Why Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a great option for many individuals, particularly those with textural concerns. Also known as RF Microneedling, it uses a combination of radio frequency and fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin which forces the healing process and stimulates collagen and elastin in the skin.
What Does Morpheus8 Treat?
Typically those with acne scarring and etched-in lines are really good candidates for a Morpheus8 facial treatment. Individuals with deep lines that haven’t been improved by Botox may see a reduction with Morpheus8 while continuing Botox to prevent future lines.
What is the Treatment Process Like?
There is no one exact treatment plan for individuals on Morpheus8, all treatments are customized to the individual and their particular needs. Generally, Morpheus8 sessions are scheduled a month apart. For someone with mild acne scarring, they can expect to need about three treatments. For someone with deeper scarring, like icepick scarring, 3-6 treatments are more likely to be necessary. Treatment length is determined by the severity of the symptom and how well the skin responds to treatment. Individuals with deeper skin tones may also require more treatment as the settings need to be more conservative to protect the skin and avoid burning or other possible side effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). To minimize discomfort, our numbing protocol sits for an hour before treatment and we also offer the option to add Pronox, AKA laughing gas, to your treatment.
