If you look in the mirror and see someone older than your years, with sagging, dull skin and uneven skin tone, it might be time to treat yourself to a beauty treatment that helps you to feel younger and more attractive. You might be an individual who could benefit from a Morpheus8 skin tightening treatment. Dr. Heather Rocheford offers Morpheus8 laser treatment for skin tightening and improving the texture of your skin, as well as other beautifying procedures for skin health.
The Morpheus8 laser treatment technology combines microneedling with radio frequency to improve skin texture and appearance. It uses fine needles along with radiofrequency heating that stimulates a natural healing response in skin that helps to stimulate collagen production and to improve skin tightness.
A Morpheus8 treatment helps to boost collagen production. Collagen is a naturally produced substance that keeps facial tissues looking plump and young. Increasing collagen production helps to keep skin looking younger and healthier. The Morpheus8 also helps to tighten skin, giving a smoother, younger appearance. The technique also helps to even out skin tone uniformly, reduce the appearance of pores and help fade stretch marks. Morpheus8 radiofrequency laser treatment can be used on almost any part of the body.
For the Morpheu8 treatment, the chosen area of skin will first be cleaned and prepared. A numbing cream is applied to prevent discomfort. In some cases, a local anesthetic is administered. The hand-held device is then passed over the skin, where the microneedling action and radiofrequency energy is then applied. You may receive a number of passes, depending on the effect desired. Your doctor may recommend a single, deep treatment or a number of milder treatments.
Generally, patients experience mild swelling and redness in the treated area. You can generally resume your normal activities after treatment. You should avoid going out in the sun, and if you do, wear sunscreen to protect your skin. You may notice small pinpoint scabs as the area heals. Avoid wearing makeup for 72 hours or as your doctor recommends. You will be advised to be careful with harsh products when you bathe or shower.
