Choose an Effective Non-Surgical Skin-Tightening Treatment

Morpheus8 radiofrequency treatment involves focusing radiofrequency energy into the skin’s deeper layers to produce collagen, which tightens the skin. 

The procedure is recommended by expert dermatologists worldwide because it stimulates the release of a naturally abundant protein in our bodies.

Thus, no external agents are applied on or injected into the skin to give you a youthful glow. And everyone prefers a skin-tightening treatment where no artificial compounds need to be used. 

Don’t believe us? Consult the best dermatologist Vancouver & know for sure. Going ahead with our argument, here’s why you should consider a Morpheus8 radiofrequency treatment if you’re looking to get a skin-tightening procedure done:

Safe and effective

It is the best option for those who don’t want to undergo any surgical or laser treatment. The procedure leaves no permanent marks on the skin, thus not making it evident that you’ve got it done. 

Quick results

Being an outpatient procedure, it takes 15 to 60 minutes and delivers natural-looking results in no time. There is no downtime, & no anesthesia is required for this treatment to take place.

Reduces visible acne scars

For some patients, topical applications or oral intake of medications does not serve the purpose. Morpheus8 radiofrequency is a great alternative treatment option for such individuals.

Fades stretch marks

As collagen production is facilitated during the procedure, skin regeneration takes place along with skin tightening. This improves the skin's appearance & reduces stretch marks.

Makes deep lines less prominent

Whether you’ve got wrinkles on the forehead, near the mouth, or frown lines, the treatment makes the magic of collagen work and significantly reduces these marks.

Less recovery time

You can revert to your regular routine right after the treatment. A very minimal amount of bruising or swelling takes place, which can be subsided using ice packs.

Many problems, one solution

This procedure also treats jowling & nasolabial folds. It helps restore the facial fat volume in the middle section of the face.

Reduces the effects of aging

Aging is a natural process but causes the skin to sag and become wrinkled. So, if you’re looking to restore the skin’s radiance, this treatment is just the right choice.

Suits all complexion types

The procedure can be done in easily accessible, large regions and in smaller areas where more precision is required. 

No hyperpigmentation

Also, the needles that are used don’t cause any harm to the skin’s top layers. Thus, be assured that once the treatment is over, no hyperpigmentation will take place. 

What the procedure is

No intravenous sedation is used at the start of the procedure because the patient does not experience any discomfort during it. But make sure you’re getting it done only by the best dermatologist in Vancouver.

Step 1

A numbing agent (cream) is topically applied in the area where the treatment is to be done.

Step 2

Radiofrequency energy from a device emitting from micro-pins is focused on the affected area where collaged gets produced to tighten the skin.

Step 3

Tips with various depths are used to reduce or increase the intensity with which radiofrequency energy is focused on the skin.

Step 4

The skin may feel ‘tight’ right after the treatment, which is done in less than 60 minutes. As volume is added to the lax area, the whole face gets a lifted look.

However, note that for best results, multiple sessions are required within the time frame of 6 to 12 months. The results are visible between seven to 28 days.

How Morpheus8 radiofrequency treatment works

To resurface the connective tissues, radiofrequency energy gently heats the skin area. At around forty-three degrees celsius, collagen starts breaking down. 

With the passage of about 42 days, the broken collagen starts getting reformed, making the skin look tighter. The treatment’s benefits continue to increase till 3 months.

The number of treatments required depends on the type of skin, the depth of wrinkles, and the desired results that the patient seeks. To know the exact count, consult the nearest dermatologist.

As far as the eligibility is concerned, all adults aged between 30 and 55 years having significantly visible signs of aging can get this procedure done.

Besides, patients having skin that is not responsive to topical or oral medications for acne scars or active acne can also get this procedure done.

Now, you must be wondering why it does not pain during the treatment, even when needles are used? Well, that’s because very fine & sharp needles are used to puncture the skin. Thus, the patient does not feel that his skin is being pulled or tugged. You may only feel some prickling sensation & then a little heat in the localized area when the needles enter the upper layers of your skin. That’s all.
