There are a wide variety of treatments for wrinkles and scars in the world of cosmetic procedures. A newer, FDA-approved option is Morpheus8, a combination treatment including microneedling and radiofrequency to trigger the body’s natural anti-aging processes. This procedure has an even wider range of applications due to its adjustable level of skin penetration. Cellulite, acne scars, hyperhidrosis, skin laxity, and more can be treated with Morpheus8. Learn more about its best uses and what the procedure does here.
The Morpheus8 treatment uses a device that combines radiofrequency and microneedling in one, allowing it to penetrate the skin deeper, leading to smoother, plumper skin. This treatment can be used over most areas of the body but is most commonly used on patients’ faces for rejuvenation through wrinkle reduction and skin tightening. Due to the deeper penetration, the patient’s natural anti-aging process is triggered, producing collagen and elastin that help produce youthful results. Although not the main purpose of the treatment, some fat reduction may occur after the procedure in the treated area. Multiple treatments with the Morpheus8 device allow impressive results for all skin types, without producing hyperpigmentation.
This cosmetic therapy is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, cellulite, acne scarring, surgical scarring, stretch marks, and hyperhidrosis, making it a great option for many patients.
As mentioned above, this procedure is most commonly used on the face and neck area but can be used anywhere on the body where the patient desires these results. Another popular area is the stomach and lower abdomen where many people have stretchmarks and scars, often results of childbearing and giving birth. The upper arm area often has skin laxity and even stretchmarks for some, making it another part of the body patients may wish to treat with Morpheus8. Crepey skin can reveal aging, especially above the knees, on the chest, and on inner thighs. Each of these areas are also treatable with this cosmetic procedure, showing its diverse applications and broad effectiveness.
At Dr. J.J. Wendel Plastic Surgery, a consultation will help you determine what areas you may want to treat with Morpheus8 or what may be a better treatment for your concerns. Look at our before and after gallery to see our office’s results with this treatment plan.
As well as Morpheus8, regular microneedling can address the concerns of a patient seeking treatment for wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. Regular microneedling helps boost natural collagen production and allows topical products to better sink into your skin and do their job. For cellulite treatment aside from Morpheus8, liposuction or injectable Renuva can help fine-tune your body contours and fill dimples. Dermal fillers like Botox and Juvederm can also be an alternative option for wrinkle and fine line appearance reduction.
