Morpheus8

Microneedling in Carmel, Indiana

Morpheus8 is a proprietary cosmetic device and treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy in order to remodel adipose fatty tissue and rejuvenate and tighten the skin. The unique combination of RF energy and microneedling effectively reverses the most common and problematic signs of aging. Skin laxity, sagging skin, mild to moderate jowls, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and folds can all be treated with Morpheus8.

How Morpheus8 Works

Morpheus8 uses a set of fine, surgical-grade needles to puncture the surface of the skin. This microneedling in itself is a beneficial cosmetic treatment that spurs the body into action to produce healthy collagen and elastin. But Morpheus8 goes beyond simple microneedling, by using those same fine needles to safely deliver a controlled infusion of radiofrequency energy.

Microneedling: Using a series of fine surgical-grade needles, a controlled series of superficial punctures are made on the surface of the skin to activate its natural healing response. This catalyzes the production of healthy new skin cells and two of your skin’s most important elements— collagen and elastin—that are depleted naturally over time. On its own, microneedling is already a healthy rejuvenating procedure that leaves the skin feeling firmer yet smoother, and more supple.

Radiofrequency Energy: Radiofrequency is used to deliver thermal (heat) energy deep into the dermis at 42 degrees Celsius. This heat tightens skin tissue, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and further encourages the production of collagen. With Morpheus8, each of these treatments are delivered simultaneously, doubling the impact of the procedure.
