Morpheus8 in Nashville, TN Morpheus8 is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that can be used on the face and body to turn back the clock on aging and restore healthy, beautiful skin. By combining microneedling and radiofrequency energy, this innovative treatment simultaneously addresses many skin concerns and provides dramatic improvement in your skin's appearance.

Morpheus8 For Face

Morpheus8 facial treatments are used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and more. The Morpheus8 device stimulates collagen production and resurfaces healthy skin cells with a smoother texture and brighter complexion, covering up dead or damaged skin responsible for irregular texture and dullness.

Morpheus8 for Body

Morpheus8 body treatments can be used to treat mild to moderate loose skin in various body areas, including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, upper arms, and more. Stimulating collagen production remodels deep tissues, while RF energy provides a tightening effect to smooth and gently lift sagging skin, creating a more refined body contour. Improved skin laxity can also diminish the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite dimpling on the thighs and buttocks.

Am I a Good Candidate for Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types and skin tones, including darker skin. Therefore, most patients who want to improve their skin texture and achieve firmer skin can benefit from Morpheus8 treatments. However, those with a history of keloid scarring or bleeding disorders might not be good candidates. Additionally, those who have an active skin infection in the treatment area and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding will have to wait to receive treatment.

During a consultation with our team, we will ask about your medical history and treatment goals to ensure that Morpheus8 is a safe and effective treatment for you. An individual treatment plan will be created to target specific areas and your unique skin concerns.

How to Prepare for Morpheus8 Treatment

Because Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment, there is a little bit of preparation required. Patients should avoid excess sun exposure, blood thinners, exfoliating skincare products, and shaving for 2-3 days before treatment. We also recommend that patients drink plenty of water to speed up the body’s healing process and achieve optimal results. Finally, we ask that patients arrive to their appointment with no makeup and clean skin.

The Morpheus8 Procedure

Morpheus8 treatments are performed in our comfortable office space and typically take 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the number and size of treatment areas. To start your treatment, one of our skilled practitioners will cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. While the cream takes effect, the Morpheus8 device will be adjusted to move the needles to the required depth for your unique treatment needs. Once you are ready, the Morpheus8 device will be passed over the targeted areas, and tiny needles will create controlled injuries to the skin’s surface. You may feel warmth as the device is applied because of the RF energy, but this is not painful.

“This is a great place to do your ‘fix ups’. Everything is explained to you so that you understand the process of your fix. If you do/don’t need something done they will be honest. I feel their number is not the money it is the patient. If you need or want some work done I would definitely refer you to these docs.”

Morpheus8 Recovery and Results

There is minimal downtime and recovery after Morpheus8. Mild redness, swelling, and bruising are common but only last a few days. Cold compresses and anti-inflammatory medication can be used to reduce swelling and ease discomfort. While you can immediately return to work and most daily activities, we advise you to avoid strenuous activity and makeup usage for 1-2 days. After this time, the puncture wounds from the microneedling device will close up. Patients should also take care to avoid excess sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ to protect their healing skin.

You may see some immediate results, but it will take several weeks to see the complete results of your Morpheus8 treatment. Gradual improvements can be seen as new collagen and elastin develop. Results typically last a year or more but can last even longer with annual maintenance treatment sessions.
