Morpheus8 Body

Morpheus8 Body is a revolutionary way to achieve smoother, firmer skin without surgery. It is a fractional radiofrequency (RF) advanced needling device that can be used to treat areas on virtually any part of the body. This state-of-the-art system combines the power of radiofrequency energy with tiny needles to deliver precise, targeted treatments to the subdermal layer of the skin.

The energy used by the device is able to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, which can help tighten and tone the skin while smoothing wrinkles.While this is not a treatment for cellulite,  it may diminish the appearance of cellulite.

At Beleza Plastic Surgery, Dr. Anna Wooten offers the latest advancements in needling treatments to help patients improve the texture and tone of their bodies with minimal downtime. Morpheus8 Body is a safe, effective, and minimally-invasive body contouring solution for those who want to make subtle changes to their physique without undergoing more drastic procedures such as liposuction or a tummy tuck.

Non-Excisional Treatment

Sagging skin and uneven skin texture are common complaints and can persist even after a patient has received other aesthetic treatments. 

Skin laxity can vary from person to person. But when it is present, it can be notoriously difficult to solve without an excisional surgery. (1) Although procedures such as an arm lift, bra line lift, and abdominoplasty are extremely effective for more severe cases of skin laxity, they are sometimes not the most suitable option for people with only mild to moderate sagging and small fat deposits. Non-surgical solutions like Morpheus8 Body are also wonderful alternatives to surgery for men and women who cannot take the time out from their busy and active lifestyles to recover from surgery. Proper healing and recovery is of the utmost importance when it comes to the cosmetic outcomes of plastic surgery procedures and should not be compromised. If a patient wants firmer skin, but simply cannot take the time off to recover, non-invasive solutions like Morpheus8 Body, CoolSculpting, or EvolveX are good options.

Morpheus8 Body vs. Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a multifaceted treatment platform that can be utilized in tissue rejuvenation throughout the face and body. With Morpheus8 Body, the advanced needling system penetrates even deeper into the skin to trigger the production of new skin-strengthening collagen and elastin. As a minimally-invasive treatment, it allows patients to solve skin laxity issues and excess fat deposits in multiple areas in a simple procedure that requires little preparation and little-to-no downtime.

How Does Morpheus8 Body Work?

Morpheus8 Body uses a combination of RF energy and slim needle-like electrodes to penetrate deep into the skin. 

This triggers an inflammatory response that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Radio-frequency microneedling works by delivering controlled and precise amounts of energy to the skin, so that the body’s natural healing process can take place. As the skin heals, new collagen and elastin are produced, which helps to improve the tone and texture of the skin.

Preparation

Once you’ve scheduled your Morpheus8 Body treatment, you’ll receive detailed instructions. Following these instructions closely will ensure that your procedure goes well.

  • Enhanced Skin Texture: The Morpheus8 Body treatment uses radiofrequency energy to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin texture.
  • Improved Skin Tightness: The treatment helps to tighten sagging skin, especially in areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs.

Morpheus8 Body Treatment

During the procedure, your technician will use a handheld device to deliver radiofrequency energy and needling to the targeted area. The tiny needles create minute punctures in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process and encourages collagen production. The radiofrequency energy heats the deep layers of the skin, which further stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. As collagen production increases, the skin becomes firmer and smoother. By remodeling the soft tissue, Morpheus8 Body also helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and wrinkles.

Morpheus8 Body procedures typically take about 60-90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. There is little to no downtime, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure. 

If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution to improve the appearance of your skin and achieve a more contoured body, schedule a consultation at Beleza Plastic Surgery. We’ll work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and helps you achieve your desired results.
