Hello, my beautiful friend-
Welcome to another empowering episode from The Cellulite Site!
I recently had the opportunity to have coffee and a conversation with Steven Scamorza of InMode, the masterminds of Morpheus8. We delved into the revolutionary potential of this cutting-edge technology. We explored how Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency to deliver deep skin rejuvenation, tackling stubborn cellulite and enhancing overall skin texture.
I’m thrilled to share the insights Steven and I discussed. The technology and science behind this treatment are truly remarkable, leading to the jaw-dropping transformations that clients are experiencing. We also touched on the importance of choosing a certified practitioner and what to expect during the procedure. Stay tuned as we unpack all these details and more in the blog!
Out of the various modalities we’ve explored, Morpheus8 stands out as particularly intriguing for its innovative approach. In episodes 14-17 of the podcast, we discussed non-invasive cellulite reduction options like Acoustic Wave Therapy, Venus Legacy, ONDA Coolwaves, and SygmaBody. If you’re interested in learning more about these treatments, be sure to check out those episodes for a detailed exploration into each one. Meanwhile, this blog will give you a comprehensive look at what makes Morpheus8 a unique option in the world of skin rejuvenation. Morpheu8 received its clearance from the FDA just last month, in July of 2024.
In the ever-evolving world of beauty and skincare, finding treatments that deliver real results without the need for invasive procedures can be challenging. Enter Morpheus8, a groundbreaking technology that’s changing the game for those seeking to tackle cellulite, wrinkles, and sagging skin—all without going under the knife. Morpheus8 received the 2024 New Beauty Award! Congratulations on that amazing achievement!
Morpheus8 is a unique treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering deep fractional remodeling that rejuvenates the skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite. Unlike traditional methods that only address the surface, Morpheus8 penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and promoting natural healing. This combination makes it a powerful tool in the fight against cellulite and aging, offering visible results with minimal downtime.
Morpheus8 is considered to be Micro-Invasive. You might be wondering how that differs from the non-invasive approaches that we have discussed in other episodes.
Micro-invasive technology represents a middle ground between non-invasive and fully invasive procedures, offering significant benefits with minimal disruption to the body.
Imagine a sleek, hand-held device that looks like a sophisticated, modern lazer-gun designed for precision. At the end of this device is a small, square-shaped treatment head, about an inch in size. This head is equipped with a grid of 40 fine, tiny needles arranged neatly in rows. These micro-needles are so delicate and closely spaced that they almost resemble a high-tech stamp. This is also known as a deep tissue Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device. Or SARD. It works by applying energy between the needles and external electrode placed on the skins surface.
As this device works its magic, it performs three key actions to rejuvenate your skin:
- Ablation: The tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting the removal of dead skin cells and stimulating the body’s natural healing process.
- Fat Coagulation: Simultaneously, the radiofrequency energy applied between the needles and an external electrode placed on the skin surface helps to coagulate and shrink fat cells, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
- Volumetric Bulk Heating: The device delivers deep, volumetric heating to the underlying tissues, encouraging collagen production and tightening the skin for a smoother, firmer appearance.
Together, these actions work in concert to rejuvenate the skin, reduce fat deposits, and enhance overall texture.
Building on these actions, the Morpheus8 device affects a substantial volume of tissue, enhancing its overall effectiveness:
- Large Contraction Zone: The device creates a significant contraction zone within the treated area, ensuring that a larger surface of the skin benefits from the treatment. This broader reach helps to address extensive areas of concern, such as large patches of cellulite.
- Full Thickness Sub-Necrotic Heating: ntraction ZoneThe radiofrequency energy penetrates deeply, heating the full thickness of the skin’s sub-necrotic layers. Sub-necrotic” refers to tissue that is heated or affected in a way that is just below the threshold of causing necrosis, or cell death. This deep, controlled heating stimulates collagen production and tissue remodeling, promoting skin tightening and a more even texture.
By impacting a large volume of tissue and delivering comprehensive thermal effects, Morpheus8 ensures that the skin undergoes a thorough rejuvenation process.
The Morpheus8 device effectively targets multiple layers of tissue to achieve comprehensive skin rejuvenation:
- Epidermis: The outermost layer of the skin, where the device’s micro-needles create precise micro-injuries. This stimulates the natural exfoliation process and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
- Dermis: The middle layer of the skin, where the radiofrequency energy penetrates deeply. This layer is crucial for stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture, firmness, and elasticity.
- Sub-Cutaneous Adipose: The deeper layer of fat beneath the dermis. The device’s energy helps to coagulate and shrink fat cells, reducing the appearance of cellulite and contributing to a smoother overall skin profile.
By addressing these three critical layers—epidermis, dermis, and sub-cutaneous adipose—Morpheus8 ensures a multi-dimensional approach to skin rejuvenation, resulting in more significant and lasting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone.
When activated, the needles gently puncture the skin’s surface, working in harmony with radiofrequency energy to penetrate deep into the dermis. The needles reach depths between 2 – 4 mm, treating bony body areas, and 2-7mm treating soft body areas.
The device’s design is both elegant and functional, providing a streamlined way to target and rejuvenate the skin with remarkable accuracy. Click on the video to watch a demonstration for the device and how the needles penetrate the skin allowing for the radio-frequency to be emitted.
In the context of skincare and cosmetic treatments, micro-invasive technology often involves the use of fine needles, lasers, or radiofrequency energy to penetrate the skin’s surface. These methods work beneath the skin, stimulating natural processes like collagen production, tissue remodeling, and fat reduction without the need for extensive surgery.
One of the key advantages of micro-invasive technology is the reduced recovery time compared to more invasive procedures. Patients can often return to their daily activities much sooner, with fewer side effects such as scarring or prolonged discomfort. Additionally, as mentioned, these treatments can be highly targeted, allowing for customized care that addresses specific concerns like cellulite, wrinkles, or sagging skin.
Morpheus8 is a prime example of micro-invasive technology, combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver powerful results. By penetrating deep into the skin with minimal surface disruption, it can effectively remodel tissue and improve skin texture, offering a balance of efficacy and safety that appeals to a wide range of individuals.
A stand out feature of Morpheus8 is its versatility. Even though our main focus is directed toward cellulite reduction — this treatment is effective for a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. Because it works on a penetrating level, it provides long-lasting results that continue to improve over time.
According to InMode, Morpheus8 takes subdermal remodeling to new depths! I know I love a great remodel!! Whether you’re dealing with stubborn cellulite or seeking an overall skin rejuvenation, Morpheus8 offers a solution that’s both effective and safe for all skin types and tones.
If you’re considering Morpheus8, it’s important to know what to expect. The procedure begins with a consultation where your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your goals. On the day of the treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. The Morpheus8 device is then used to deliver the microneedling and radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas. The treatment typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
After the procedure, you might experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Your practitioner will provide you with post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results. Over the following weeks, you’ll notice your skin becoming firmer, smoother, and more radiant.
Morpheus8 is an excellent option for those looking to improve their skin’s texture and tone without the risks associated with surgery. It’s particularly effective for individuals with mild to moderate cellulite, wrinkles, or sagging skin.
The true testament to Morpheus8’s effectiveness lies in the results. Many clients report significant improvements in their skin’s appearance, with smoother, tighter skin and a noticeable reduction in cellulite. Before and after photos, along with testimonials, highlight the transformative effects of this treatment, making it a popular choice among those seeking non-invasive solutions for their skincare needs.
The number of sessions required to reduce cellulite with treatments like Morpheus8 can vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of cellulite, the area being treated, and personal skin response. Generally, most people see noticeable improvements after 2-3 sessions, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, some may require additional sessions to achieve their desired results.
The average cost per Morpheus8 treatment can vary depending on factors such as the location of the clinic, the experience of the practitioner, and the size of the area being treated. Generally, you can expect the cost to range from $800 to $1,500 per session. Keep in mind that multiple sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results, so it’s a good idea to discuss a full treatment plan with your provider.
As with any cosmetic treatment, the success of your Morpheus8 experience largely depends on the skill and expertise of your practitioner. It’s crucial to choose a clinic that’s certified and experienced in administering this advanced treatment. During your consultation, don’t hesitate to ask about the practitioner’s experience, the technology they use, and what you can expect in terms of results. During my interview with Steven, he made it clear that many clinics do not have certified and experienced practioners performing the treatment. Therefore; the desired results are not achieved.
So, in conclusion, my friends, Morpheus8 is a revolutionary treatment that offers a non-invasive solution to some of the most common skin concerns, from cellulite to wrinkles. Its ability to deliver deep, long-lasting results makes it a standout in the world of aesthetic treatments.
If you’re ready to explore the benefits of Morpheus8, schedule a consultation with a certified practitioner today and take the first step towards achieving smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
