  • Who is the ideal candidate for Morpheus8 treatments?

    Individuals seeking skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and improved skin texture may be ideal candidates for Morpheus8. A consultation with Dr. Sonya will determine suitability based on individual goals and health considerations.

  • Who is not suitable for Morpheus8 treatments?

    Individuals with certain skin conditions, infections, patients with a gold allergy or pregnant and breastfeeding individuals are not suitable candidates. A thorough consultation is essential to assess individual suitability.

  • Are Morpheus8 treatments painful?

    A topical anesthetic is applied 50 minutes before the procedure to enhance comfort. Sometimes, Dr. Sonya will use anesthetic injections as well to help minimize pain for those who are more sensitive to pain. Any discomfort during the treatment is temporary.

  • How long do Morpheus8 treatments last?

    Results are long-lasting, with improvements continuing for several months after the treatment. We generally recommend 3-5 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart to achieve desired results. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the effects afterwards.

  • What are the side effects of Morpheus8 treatments?

    Mild side effects may include redness, swelling, or minor discomfort at the treatment site. These effects are typically temporary and subside within a few days. As with all energy based devices, there is a small risk of injuring and burning of the skin. However, this risk is minimized with Morpheus8 as the needles are coated in a silicone polymer. Certain patients who are at risk of PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) might be given a skin preparation treatment for 6 weeks prior to the treatment. Patients who suffer from acne may notice breakouts post procedure after the treatment. You will have to follow the aftercare guidelines recommended by Dr. Sonya.
