Morpheus8 Face and Body
Morpheus8 for Face & Body
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers dramatic results. This FDA approved therapy combines two treatments into one single treatment modality: Microneedling combined with Radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual-action approach triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin, tighter skin, and reduced signs of aging. The depth and intensity of the RF Microneedling can be customized to reach different depths of the dermal layers which makes Morpheus8 a great treatment for the whole body.
How it Works
The ultra-fine needles of Morpheus8 create microscopic punctures into the skin. This is known as ‘collagen induction therapy’ and is the main mechanism of action in traditional Microneedling. Skin tone and texture is improved as the body heals these micro injuries and promotes the development of new and healthier tissue.
Morpheus8 then takes the traditional Microneedling and amplifies it by utilizing the needles as a channel in which to deliver Radiofrequency. As the tiny needles penetrate the epidermis, they deliver heat generated by RF to the underlying layers of the dermis. This results in profound tissue and fat remodeling that would otherwise be unachievable with either technique on its own.
Morpheus8 can help treat the follow skin concerns:
-
- Reduce discoloration and uneven skin tone
- Help to tighten lax or sagging skin
- Reduce the appearance of acne scarring and surface irregularities
- Reduce the appearance of lines and creases
- Enhance facial contouring
- Reduce the appearance of pores
- Reduce the appearance of cellulite
- Lessen the appearance of stretchmarks

Pre-Treatment
Before your treatment, we require a consultation with one of our nurses to assess your treatment area and discuss a treatment plan that is right for you!
One week prior to your treatment date, we recommend you discontinue the use of Retinols, and avoid any NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, etc..) if you are able. It is best to avoid active skin care ingredients (vitamin C, and strong acids) five days before and after the treatment as well. We also recommend you avoid any sun exposure (tanning, tanning beds, and spray tans) for at least one week, two weeks preferably.
During the Treatment
Come in with a clean face, free of makeup, moisturizers, and sunscreen. At each session, topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area for 45 to 60 minutes- feel free to relax in one of our massage chairs while you numb!
The actual procedure will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes for most treatment areas. The numbing cream will be removed in sections to help minimize any pain -we also offer laughing gas as well if you need a little more distraction from any discomfort (at no extra cost, of course).
After your Morpheus8 treatment, products will be applied to the treatment area. We will also send you home with your own post-care products.
Post-Treatment
Nothing should be applied to the treatment area for 24 hours. After 24 hours, using the products provided to you by Urban Unwind, you can gently cleanse the area and apply your products. Continue avoiding NSAIDs for the next 72 hours. You can take Tylenol for any discomfort.
Morpheus8 recovery is relatively easy and minimal. Most people experience one to three days of redness, itching, mild swelling, and tenderness to the treatment area. You may also have some pinpoint bruising or scabbing. Results should be expected as the skin heals over the next three to four weeks.
As your skin heals, you’ll want to promote a good healing environment to get the best results from your treatment. Avoid direct sunlight, swimming, and vigorous activity for the first few days. Avoid tanning and self-tanners for two weeks, and make sure you are applying sunscreen everyday (yes, even if you are just running to the store). We recommend repeating your treatment in three to six weeks, for a total of three treatments.
