Morpheus8 in Bellevue, WA and Issaquah, WA

Morpheus8 is an advanced microneedling treatment combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target deep layers of the skin. The microneedles penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin by heating the underlying tissue, providing both immediate and long-term benefits.

Morpheus8 can be used on both the face and body. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, jawline, abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. It is also effective for targeting delicate areas around the eyes and mouth using the Prime Tip.

Yes, Morpheus8 is safe and effective for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick types I-VI. The treatment can be customized to suit various skin concerns and tones, including sensitive skin or active acne.

Most patients benefit from a series of 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance sessions are typically recommended yearly to sustain improvements.

During a Morpheus8 session, a numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The treatment involves using microneedles to penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy to stimulate collagen production. Sessions usually last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.

Morpheus8 has minimal downtime. Patients may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising in the treated area for a few days post-treatment. The resurfacing tip may result in slightly longer downtime for certain patients, particularly those with darker skin types.

Some patients notice immediate improvements due to swelling, but the full benefits of Morpheus8 are seen over time as collagen production increases. Most patients experience significant improvement in skin texture, tightness, and contouring within 3 months.

Yes, Morpheus8 is highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and remodeling tissue at deeper levels.

Morpheus8 results are long-lasting, with improvements continuing for several months after the initial treatment series. Yearly maintenance sessions are recommended to preserve results and keep the skin looking its best.

Most patients find the treatment to be very tolerable, especially with the application of a topical numbing cream before the session. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others, but discomfort is generally minimal.

Yes, Morpheus8 can be safely combined with other treatments like HydraFacial and IPL for enhanced results. Many patients choose to combine these treatments to target multiple skin concerns simultaneously. For example, Morpheus8 tightens and remodels the skin, while HydraFacial hydrates and cleanses, and IPL improves pigmentation and redness. Treatments are often spaced out to maximize recovery and effectiveness.

It is generally recommended to space IPL and Morpheus8 treatments every 4-6 weeks to allow the skin to recover from each session. Your provider will create a customized plan depending on your skin’s needs and goals to ensure the best results without overwhelming your skin.

Yes, but it’s essential to allow enough time for the skin to heal between treatments. Most patients wait at least 2 weeks after Morpheus8 before receiving filler injections. This allows the skin to settle and reduces the risk of swelling or irritation. It’s also possible to get Morpheus8 after filler treatments, but timing depends on the area treated and desired results. Sculptra works great when paired with Morpheus in the same session.

Yes, combining Morpheus8 and Sculptra can significantly enhance collagen production. Morpheus8 stimulates collagen in the dermis through radiofrequency energy, while Sculptra works deeper in the skin to stimulate collagen over time. When used together, they create a synergistic effect that results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Combining Morpheus8 and HydraFacial in one session is generally not recommended, as both treatments have different purposes and recovery times. It’s best to schedule a HydraFacial either before or after your Morpheus8 treatment, typically a few days to a week apart. HydraFacial can help hydrate and cleanse the skin post-Morpheus8, reducing downtime and enhancing results, but also helps to clean and prep prio. 

Combining Morpheus8 with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) provides a comprehensive approach to improving both skin texture and tone. While Morpheus8 focuses on tightening and collagen stimulation, IPL targets pigmentation, sun damage, and vascular concerns. Together, these treatments can dramatically improve overall skin quality and address a wider range of concerns in a treatment plan. Please note there can be more downtime. 

If you have recently received fillers, it’s recommended to wait at least 2 weeks before undergoing Morpheus8 to ensure the fillers have settled and the skin is not irritated. This minimizes the risk of unwanted side effects such as swelling or bruising. Always consult your provider to determine the best timing based on your individual treatment plan. There is always a risk that filler can be softened or taken away with RF so take precaution. 

Yes, Sculptra and IPL can be performed on the same day, but this combination may result in more downtime. Your skin may need additional time to recover due to the effects of both treatments. This can be a good option if you prefer to combine them into one visit, but be prepared for extended recovery compared to doing them separately.
