Morpheus8 at S. Thetics Medspa & Wellbeing

Let’s face it

aging is inevitable.

There is no magic potion or genie in a bottle that is going to turn back the hands of time and stop us from getting older. However, aging seems to come with such a negative connotation, even though it is something natural we all go through. In the beauty and wellbeing industry, the downside of aging that comes up constantly is the change in our appearance as we age. Once people reach a certain age, they begin to see lines and spots where they never saw them in their twenties or skin that is not as tight as it once was. While all of this is completely normal, it can have an impact on self-confidence. 

For years, men and women have gone under the knife for procedures designed to make them look more youthful. Many of these procedures are invasive and require extended periods of recovery time. Recently, however, advancements in technology have paved the way for much less invasive treatments that offer incredible results with a fraction of the recovery time. Rather than anesthesia, scalpels, stitches and lengthy, painful downtimes, Med Spas like S. Thetics can use light technology and minimally invasive techniques with devices that deliver the same surgical-like results…

Here at S. Thetics, we strive to stay educated on the newest technologies in skincare and wellbeing. We are extremely excited to now offer Morpheus8, a minimally invasive body and face contouring treatment!

The launch of new treatments and technologies always comes with a lot of questions, and clients wonder whether a treatment is right for them or not.

The S. Thetics team is always here to assist with any personal concerns or questions about treatments and we love educating our clients and patients, so we are here to tell you all about our newest treatment, Morpheus8!

Morpheus8 is a safe and effective device that simultaneously combines the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face and body. This treatment is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime for recovery, which makes it a great option for a wide range of patients who don’t have days or weeks to be “down.” The technology works by penetrating deeper into the layers of the dermis below the surface of the skin. The device penetrates the sub-dermal tissue and stimulates collagen production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, Morpheus8 can remodel the tissues of the face and body, to reveal a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Morheus8 is designed to treat the finest of lines to the deepest of wrinkles as well as more skin laxity, sagging skin, jowls and necks and overall crepey, compromised or sun damaged skin.

Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment that can be used on many areas of the skin. Some of the most popular areas to treat include the face, neck, chest, abdomen, legs, arms, even stubborn stretch marks and unwanted scars, and many other areas as well. Morpheus8 is the perfect treatment for any areas of the skin that could benefit from deeper resurfacing and rejuvenation. If you have any specific concerns to address, speak with one of our S. Thetics team members and we would be happy to offer more information about areas of treatment!

Everyone’s skin is different, so it is valid to wonder if Morpheus8 is suitable for you. The good news is, the treatment is suitable for all skin types! The technology behind this treatment utilizes microneedles that emit radiofrequency energy simultaneously into the dermis. It is safe for all skin tones and types. Adjustments can also be made by your S. Thetics skincare professional to cater the treatment to your skin’s specific and unique needs. Everyone’s Morpheus8 treatment plan looks different based on each individual's concerns.

Of course, you are wondering what the results will be like and how long will it take to see them. When it comes to results, it depends on the individual area being treated and the overall objective of the treatment. In most cases, visible improvements from Morpheus8 treatments may be seen within a few days, but will be most noticeable after about a month and will only continue to improve for the next 4 - 6 months as collagen continues to regenerate. Optimal results are often obtained from multiple sessions over time. The number and frequency of treatments will be determined by your skincare provider at S.Thetics Medspa & Wellbeing to obtain the optimal results for each patient.

Due to the minimally invasive nature of the Morpheus8, proper aftercare is minimal and simple, yet imperative for the best Morpheus8 results. It is recommended that patients do not apply makeup until 1-2 days after treatment to avoid any kind of irritation. If that is not possible, mineral-based makeup is best. It is very normal to have some degree of swelling for a few hours and, on rare occasions, up to a few days following the treatment, along with slight redness similar to a sunburn, depending on the treatment area. Bruising can occur and is most common around the delicate, thin skin around the eyes. These are all minimal and, in most cases, do not last long.

To aid in these common occurrences, specific products will be applied immediately after your Morpheus8 treatment that is also in the post-care product kit you will be given to take home with you. All of these products help with the healing process and enhance your Morpheus8 results. Each kit includes a gentle yet effective medical-grade cleanser, rich healing serum, an appropriate moisturizer, and medical-grade SPF to apply daily. Your S. Thetics skincare provider will also provide you with simple and effective aftercare instructions before leaving the Medspa.
