Morpheus8 Face

Morpheus8 face is a non-surgical, minimally invasive technique that combines microneedling and radiofrequency to remodel the skin on multiple levels of the dermis and subdermis, along with resurfacing the epidermis. This is a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that fractionally remodels and contours the face and body. This microneedling device uses 24 gold plated needles that have the ability to penetrate at different desired depths, whether it’s superficially into the outer most layers of the skin or deep into the fat layer. Morpheu8 face has the ability to penetrate at deeper depths than any other microneedling device, as deep as 4mm in depth. There are many competing microneedling machines on the market; however, Morpheus8 face is the only patented radiofrequency bipolar technology on the market. This allows each row of needles to be effective in creating the closest microinjuries, ablating fat and stimulating collagen and elastin cycles. This has the ability to treat an array of concerns such as acne scars, texture, pigmentation issues, falling fat pads (double chin and jowls), skin sagging, fine lines and wrinkles, surgical scars, and reverses the signs of aging with minimal downtown.

The Protocol

The recommended initial treatment protocol is 3 treatments, performed 4-6 weeks apart, then a one-time touch-up annually. There are different tip types available (regular, prime, and resurfacing tips) based on the patient’s concern which all consists of gold-plated needles. The gold-plated needles are designed so that the tip of the needles never get dull, creating tiny punctures through the skin without tugging and pulling, therefore, increasing comfort levels. This procedure is approved for all skin types.

How soon will I see results?

You will start to see results after the first the treatment and throughout the regiment; however, you will see the most optimal results 3 months after the last treatment. Collagen cycles take a total of 3 months to completely regenerate in the body.

Is there downtime?

The typical downtime consists of redness the day of and occasionally into the next day. May have some swelling and sensitivity to jowls and submental (double chin) area for approximately 3 days. The neck can stay red longer than the face in lighter skin individuals. If the resurfacing tip is used, you may see brown/black pin-point scabs to the face for approximately 1 week.

Patient’s comfort during the procedure is a high priority of the Youth Vault. The goal of Morpheus8 is creating thousands of microinjuries in order for your body to send fluid and cells to area for the healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin cycles. Therefore; the more microinjuries, the better the results. In order to obtain more passes and microinjuries, the patient has to be comfortable. Morpheus8 is user dependent and results can vary per patient. At the Youth Vault, we strive for optimal results.

When does IPL occur if added onto procedure?

If IPL is added onto your Morpheus8 treatment, it will be done during the same visit; however, it will be performed first before Morpheus8 and before any numbing.

Numbing process

We work closely with a compound pharmacy who designs our numbing gel compound that is specifically designed to help with pain control for Morpheus8. This numbing gel is placed on the area for 45 minutes. Nerve blocks with 1% lidocaine may also be used for the face if max lidocaine dosage has not been met. An additive is combined with the lidocaine to ensure there is no burning from the medication itself. The nerve blocks are performed 10 minutes before the procedure. A lozenge will be given 5 minutes before the procedure with has a combination of pain control, anxiety control, and nausea control to allow us to achieve the best results. The medication in the lozenge has a short-half and wears off within 45 minutes of taking it, allowing the patient the ability to drive themselves to and from their appointment.

Post treatment care

A serum and/or cream will be placed on your face and neck after the treatment. For the first 48 hours, use gentle cleanser and warm water to wash face and neck morning and evening, followed by applying a gentle moisturizer or purchased serum/hydrating cream. Avoid excessive sweating, gym environment, saunas, or jacuzzis for 24 hours. May use gentle moisturizer, Aquaphor, bacitracin, or ZO intense firming serum and ZO hydrating cream (sold separately) throughout the day for dryness and itching. Treat the area like a sunburn, avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours. May start to wear sunblock 24 hours after procedure. Avoid face makeup or foundation until 48 hours after procedure.
