Morpheus8, simply put, is a microneedling treatment combined with radiofrequency technology, used primarily for skin rejuvenation and contouring. Its technology allows for the synergistic effects of microneedling to deliver radiofrequency treatment in a safe yet effective way to achieve skin contouring, tightening and rejuvenation.

 

When bipolar radiofrequency treatment is delivered through a matrix of microneedles, this results in fractional volumetric heating of the tissues in the sub-surface of the skin.

The result of this treatment is the triple action of:

• Fractionated tissue ablation

• Fat Coagulation

• Sub-necrotic volumetric heating of skin and sub-skin structures

Because the Morpheu8 treatment is so effective in heating up large volume of tissues, this contributes to a large contraction zone that effectively lifts and contours skin.

Because the Morpheus8 treatment is so effective in heating up large volume of tissues, this contributes to a large contraction zone that effectively lifts and contours skin.

Morpheus8 represents the most advanced dual-technology treatment device, delivering tissue heating to promote skin renewal, collagen remodeling, and subdermal adipose tissue remodeling.
This translates to fat and tissue contraction, skin tightening and skin texture resurfacing. It is also effective in reducing fine wrinkles and treatment of facial scars, such as acne scars.

Minimal downtime: By controlling the depth of treatment, this allows for accurate delivery of heat to the correct layers of the skin & subcutaneous layers to effect treatment whilst minimizing its unwanted effects of redness and swelling.

It is also very safe on all skin types (Fitzpatrick skin type I – IV) with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

 

Morpheus8 is ideal for patients who are considering treatment for: 

• Treatment of large pores, and uneven skin texture, such as acne scarring.

• Facial skin tightening, common areas include jowls and double chin reduction.

• Treatment and rejuvenation of the periorbital loose skin.

• Effective in reduction of other skin conditions as well, such as rosacea, hidradenitis suppuritiva

 

 

Before application Morpheus8™

To prepare you for the procedure, your skin will be cleansed, and numbing cream will be applied for 60 minutes. The treatment occurs with a matrix of tiny, fine needles entering the skin’s surface. Bipolar radiofrequency energy is released from the tip of each needle passing towards the external electrode placed on the skin surface before the needles are retracted. This process is repeated across the treatment area. The entire treatment would last 15 to 30 minutes. A brand-new treatment tip is used for each patient to ensure sterility. 

At Polaris Plastic Surgery, the Morpheus8 treatment is very often combined with other treatments, or even surgery, to enhance your overall results. In addition, we would apply and advise post-treatment skin regimes to enhance your recovery and results.

After application Morpheus8™

Like with most skin treatment procedures, we would typically apply moisturiser and sunscreen at the end of the procedure. At times, enhanced recovery serums can be applied after the procedure to reduce redness & inflammation and speed up recovery at your request.

Do anticipate 1-2 days of skin redness, which would subside rapidly. In addition, a good skincare regime is essential immediately after the procedure as well. Lastly, we would advise you to stay out of the sun and avoid any strenuous activities and swimming in the immediate few days after the procedures.

Our specialised team of plastic surgeons and nurses will be at hand to advise you on how best to take care of your skin after the procedure. 

Most patients would be able to experience improvement in their skin within a few days after treatment, and these effects will be enhanced with further repeated treatments. For natural-looking and long-lasting effects, our doctors will sometimes recommend a few treatment sessions to begin with, followed by maintenance treatment every year. Skin tightening can typically take a few weeks to see visible results, depending on the patient’s skin quality and degree of laxity.

At Polaris Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, our plastic surgeons are KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) for this device, and they have in-depth knowledge in this field of rejuvenation. This allows us to tailor treatment regimes suited to your skin and face, giving you unrestricted access to the full spectrum of treatments including non-invasive, minimally invasive as well as surgical options for facial and body rejuvenation.
