MORPHEUS8

The state-of-the-art fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis.

By targeting these deeper layers of the skin, areas of the face and body can be re-modelled to reveal a more radiant, youthful appearance. It is the first and only device to target the fat sub-dermally in order to morph the ageing facial features. We use a fractional device with programmable penetration depth and energy delivery to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and skin tone.

How does Morpheus8 work?

The treatment uses high-tech micro-needling to stimulate the fibroblast cells in the skin’s dermal layer, improving the texture and reducing fine lines, scars and superficial pigmentation. The radiofrequency energy is then delivered in the deeper tissues where it stimulates collagen generation to tighten and lift.

The 24 coated pins penetrate into the subdermal tissue, coagulating the fat and contracting connective tissue. Simultaneously, directional RF energy generates bulk sub-necrotic heating in the dermis. It is the perfect solution for patients who have skin laxity, with overlying skin surface irregularities.

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method that helps remodel and rebuild collagen. Because the treatment is minimally invasive and uses a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin, there is minimal downtime.

What to expect from your treatment

Treatment involves three sessions a month apart, according to individual response. Before the procedure starts, the skin will be thoroughly cleansed and local anaesthetic cream applied to reduce discomfort of the injection. This is left to take effect for at least 40 minutes.

Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results. Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

Morpheus8 FAQs

What areas can be treated? Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, jawline, neck, peri-orbital area, abdomen, thighs, legs and buttocks.

Is there any downtime? It is common to experience some redness and swelling of the treatment area (a bit like sunburn) and tiny scabs may appear on the face for a few days as part of a normal healing.

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup may be applied as soon as 24 hours after the session to mask any residual redness. You should avoid direct sun exposure and it is recommended to use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day.

What are the possible side effects? Local discomfort and skin redness. For eyelid treatments you may experience swelling and bruising. Rare side effects include damage to the skin texture (crusts, blisters and burns), change of pigmentation and scarring.

Contraindications include:

Retinoic acid or retinol-related skin creams within the week after treatment.
Any surgical or ablative procedure in the treatment area within 3months or before complete healing.
Superficial injection of fillers in the last six months, or botulinum toxin within two weeks.
Use of lsotretinoin (Roaccutane®) within six months prior to treatment.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Cost of treatment

For face (lower lids, mid face, lower face and neck) £595 for each of the three treatments.

For eyelids only (upper and lower) £295 for each of the three treatments.
