Morpheus8

Morpheus8 RF microneedling combines the power of two skin rejuvenation techniques: radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling. A handheld device with tiny, sterile needles is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, initiating the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness. As the skin repairs itself, it becomes tighter, smoother, and more youthful in appearance.
Meanwhile, RF energy penetrates deep into the skin’s layers, precisely heating the tissue beneath the micro-injuries. This dual-action approach stimulates the body’s regenerative processes and tightens existing collagen fibers. RF microneedling in Salem delivers a more thorough and enduring skin rejuvenation outcome. The RF energy’s heat contributes to breaking down existing collagen while promoting the generation of fresh, healthier collagen. This process enhances skin texture, minimizes wrinkles, and fades scars.

Absolutely! Morpheus8 is versatile and can be used on various body areas, such as the neck, chest, abdomen, arms, and thighs, to address concerns like sagging skin, stretch marks, and cellulite. Our aesthetic providers will discuss your goals to curate an appropriate treatment plan.

During a Morpheus8 session, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. The Morpheus8 device, equipped with fine, sterile needles, is gently passed over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered to heat the deeper layers of your skin. This combination of microneedling and RF energy promotes collagen production, tightens skin, and addresses various concerns. The session lasts around 30-45 minutes, after which you can resume your daily activities.

After a treatment of Morpheus8 in Salem, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. These side effects typically resolve within a few days. Rarely, bruising or scabbing may occur, but they are usually short-lived. Always follow your provider’s aftercare instructions for the best results.

No, there’s little to no downtime after Morpheus8. You may experience redness and swelling for a few days, but you can resume your daily activities shortly after the treatment. However, strenuous workouts and direct sunlight should be avoided for a few days or until the side effects dissipate completely to ensure optimal results.

You can expect initial improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a week or two after Morpheus8. However, the full benefits usually become more noticeable over the following 6-12 months as new collagen fibers are continuously produced by the body and improvements continue after your last treatment.

The number of Morpheus8 sessions needed varies depending on individual goals and skin conditions. Typically, a series of 3-4 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Your provider will customize a plan to suit your specific needs.

The effects of RF microneedling in Salem endure for an extended period, often spanning a year or even longer. Maintenance sessions may be recommended once or twice a year to sustain the benefits over time and keep your skin looking its best. You can also extend the longevity of the results with proper skin care and sun protection.
