Morpheus8 in McLean, VA

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, allowing it to target deeper layers of the skin. This procedure also stimulates collagen production more effectively than traditional microneedling. This dual approach enhances skin tightening and remodeling, significantly improving skin texture and tone.

Although Morpheus8 is primarily used to treat acne scars, it is not a recommended option for active acne. The treatment helps reduce the visibility of scars by promoting collagen growth and improving skin texture, but active acne should be managed with other treatments before considering Morpheus8.

Most patients require a series of 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions will be based on the individual’s skin condition and goals. A consultation with a professional will help determine the best plan for you.

Morpheus8 is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort during the procedure. An anesthetic is usually applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort. Patients will feel a warm sensation as the radiofrequency energy is delivered.

After a Morpheus8 session, the treated area must be moisturized and protected from the sun. Patients are advised to avoid harsh skincare products and strenuous activities that can cause excessive sweating for a few days. Redness and swelling are common but should subside within a few days.

Morpheus8 is suitable for people looking to improve skin laxity, texture, and appearance. It is ideal for those who want to address signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, without undergoing surgery. A consultation is needed to help determine if this treatment is proper for you.
