RF Microneedle

FAQs: Morpheus8 RF Microneedle resurfacing in Kansas City, MO at aNu Aesthetics™ and Optimal Wellness

What is Morpheus8 RF Microneedle Skin Resurfacing?

This advanced skin resurfacing treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel the skin and trigger vibrant new collagen and elastin growth from deep within. The benefits of this intense skin renewing technology include diminished lines, wrinkles and acne scars, tightened lax skin, faded age spots and other discoloration, and so much more. Because Morpheus8 stimulates new collagen growth from deep within, it literally helps to strengthen and repair your skin and slow the effects of aging so you can look and feel younger without surgery.

What areas can be treated?

Morpheus8 can be used anywhere on the body that would benefit from skin renewal. The most commonly treated areas include: lower eyelid, upper eyelid, smile lines, forehead, cheeks, mouth and neck. Face and body areas that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are also suitable for treatment.

Is Morpheus8 Skin Resurfacing painful?

Treatments are performed in our office using a local anesthetic. Because pain tolerance is highly individual, the staff will tailor the approach to ensure your comfort – both during and after the procedure.

How many treatments will I need?

Depending on your needs and goals, you can expect to have between one and six sessions.

How quickly will I see results?

Visible results can be seen immediately, but typically after two weeks the most noticeable results appear. Best of all, improvements will continue up to three months following your treatment as your skin continues to generate new collagen and elastin.

What is the benefit of fractionated energy?

RF Microneedle energy is a scientifically proven method that reduces wrinkles and skin laxity. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro-pins and RF energy to resurface and restore the skin, providing exceptional skin tightening and rejuvenating results with almost no patient downtime.

When can I put on my makeup again after treatment?

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied one to two days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness for up to one week depending on treatment parameters.

What kind of post-procedure care is required?

Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.

What results can I expect, and how long will the benefits of my treatment last?

Morpheus8 RF Microneedle skin resurfacing can restore your skin to a healthy state, similar to that of skin that has not experienced sun damage or scarring. With proper sun protection, results can persist for more than five years. In areas where muscle activity is strong, lines may begin to reappear sooner.

As skin continues to age at a normal rate, you may choose to maintain results with a “touch-up” resurfacing treatment. In any event, with cosmetic laser resurfacing you will have definitively “turned back the clock!”
