What is Morpheus8?

You've probably heard of microneedling, but what is Morpheus8? This innovative treatment combines two proven technologies for powerful results: microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy.

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create small, controlled injuries in the skin, which encourages collagen production in the treatment area. RF energy is also delivered through these needles, using heat to tighten and reshape the tissue. This helps improve skin texture and tone, reduce wrinkles, and fade scars and stretch marks. Morpheus8 is safe for many skin types and can be used on the face, neck, and body.

RF microneedling recovery: What to expect

Almost immediately after Morpheus8, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area. This is normal and should subside shortly after your appointment. Small pinpoint scabs will also be present for 24 – 72 hours.

At our skin rejuvenation clinic in Scranton, PA, Dr. Klingerman provides what patients need to ensure successful results from this collagen booster. Our RF microneedling aftercare instructions are personalized based on your skin type, the intensity of treatment, and your desired results.

Your post-treatment care plan

Your aftercare plan may be customized, but here are some general tips to keep in mind after Morpheus8:

• Clean and moisturize your skin: Use gentle products to keep your skin clean and hydrated. Avoid harsh chemicals or exfoliants during RF microneedling recovery.
• Wear sunscreen: Protecting yourself from UV rays is important for preventing discoloration and promoting natural healing. Keep the treated area out of direct sunlight, and use SPF 30+ if you need to be exposed.
• Use cool compresses: To reduce discomfort, apply cool compresses to the skin as needed. This will also help with any bruising that may occur.
• Avoid strenuous activity: It's best to avoid excessive sweating and physical activity for at least 24 hours after treatment. This can cause irritation and delay healing.

How soon will your skin improve after Morpheus8?

While the answer varies from person to person, most patients notice improvements from Morpheus8 within 3 – 4 weeks as new collagen develops in the skin. For the best outcomes possible, we recommend 3 – 4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Dr. Klingerman can provide more detailed information about your timeline during a consultation.
