Morpheus8 Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Morpheus8, is Microneedling with radio frequency with adjustable depth (up to 4 mm) fine surgical pins. At the end of these fine pins, radio frequency waves are emitted. What this means is that you get a double whammy when it comes to skin rejuvenation and tightening.

The microneedles cause a controlled injury that results in formation of new collagen and elastin (the fibers responsible for skin tightening). In addition, the radio frequency wave also stimulates collagen and elastin formation. With this, you’ll have skin rejuvenation occurring from 2 different formats. It is a great alternative to surgery if you are not ready to undergo the knife.

By adjusting the depth of the needles, our provider can come up with a customized treatment for your specific concerns. Morpheus8 can be modified to address loose skin, deep wrinkles, crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, under eye bags, smoker’s lines, crepey skin, jowls and pore size. As our skin ages, we form jowls, lose our defined jaw line, develop a double chin, and our neck either becomes thick or crepey/turkey-like in appearance. Morpheus8 can be used to help all these problematic areas of concern and help you regain a more youthful appearance.

Morpheus8 pricing varies on the area we’re treating. Pricing starts at $550. When you come in for a consultation, a personalized plan will be discussed with you based on your specific concerns. There is special package pricing for those looking to have more than 1 Morpheus8 performed. Financing options are available.

It takes 28 days to form new collagen. During those first 28 days, your skin will be reorganizing and remodeling deep into the subcutaneous layer of tissue. So, sit back and wait for the transformation! After just one Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect to continue to see changes in your skin for up to 3 months. Once the remodeling has occurred, you may opt for a 2nd treatment to further your improvement. Nothing will freeze you in place forever, however, it does give you a new starting point! Morpheus8 bridges the gap between surgery and topical lotions/treatments.

Morpheus8 can be used for anywhere on the body! Most common areas are the face and neck to help with deep wrinkles and lines, jowls, double chin, turkey neck, thick neck, undereye bags, smoker’s wrinkles, crow’s feet, large pores, crepey skin and forehead wrinkles. It is also used on other areas of the body such as the stomach, legs, and arms to decrease crepey skin, tighten skin and decrease fat. It is also used for hyperhidrosis (sweating under the arms).

You can have a Morpheus8 treatment 1x/month. It takes 28 days to make new collagen. Your skin will continue to remodel for 3 months. However, you can stack treatments as close as 1 month apart and the results will compound upon each other.

5th & Wellness has a signature comfort menu where patients can select an array of tools to always make sure they’re comfortable during the treatment. We apply a medical grade topical numbing cream as well as offer Pro-Nox (laughing gas) to assist with any anxiety.

Typically, clients want to come back in 12-18 months for a maintenance treatment. Truly based on the patient’s preference.

After your Morpheus8 treatment, you can expect swelling, redness and possibly some bruising as it is causing a controlled injury to get your collagen and elastin jump started again. This will last about 3-5 days. For the first 3 days, you will be instructed on what products to apply to the treated area. After 3 days, you can apply make-up. Day 4-5 you will have slightly flakey skin. After 5-7 days, your skin is looking back to normal. You can go back to work the day after the procedure, but frequently clients who work, come in on Thursday evening or Friday and recover without make-up over the weekend. By Monday, you are good to go! Those who don’t work, often have Morpheus8 performed on Monday and recover during the week, so they are ready to go on the weekend!

Yes, Morpheus8 decreases the appearance of stretch marks. However, we do recommend scheduling a consult first, to make sure this is the best treatment for your desired goals.
