Morpheus8
Book NowMorpheus8 is a revolutionary nonsurgical cosmetic treatment that combines two of the most effective anti-aging technologies on the market: radiofrequency energy and microneedling. Not only does this combination provide much more extensive results than either modality alone, but it also decreases the total procedure time, reduces treatment risks and opens up possibilities for more customization.
Treatment is contraindicated in patients with pacemakers, internal defibrillators, metallic or electronic implants, permanent implants in the treatment area, active or history of skin cancer or pre-malignant lesions, pregnancy or nursing, severe systemic conditions, immunosuppression, poorly controlled endocrine disorders, or active skin conditions such as infection, eczema, psoriasis, or rash. Avoid treatment if you have a history of keloids, abnormal wound healing, recent surgery, recent laser or RF procedures, or if you have used Accutane® (isotretinoin) within 6 months. Treatment should also be postponed if the skin is irritated, recently tanned, or compromised.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 2–4 weeks prior to treatment. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Skin conditioning is recommended prior to treatment, including use of Regenerating Skin Nectar, HA Quenching Serum, or Alastin Invasive System for 1–2 weeks prior, depending on your treatment plan. Pigment control regimens may be required for certain skin types and must be stopped 48 hours prior to treatment.
Discontinue blood-thinning medications and supplements 7–14 days prior, including Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, Excedrin, and NSAIDs unless prescribed by your physician. Avoid herbal supplements such as Garlic, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Omega-3, Fish Oil, flax oil, cod liver oil, and essential fatty acids. Avoid alcohol and caffeine several days prior. If needed, Tylenol is the preferred pain medication. Patients with herpes simplex require antiviral prophylaxis prior to treatment.
Discontinue topical irritants 1 week prior, including Retin-A, retinol, tretinoin, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating agents. Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, depilatories, and other irritating treatments for 1–2 weeks prior. Shave treatment areas if needed. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, creams, or products.
Avoid alcohol 48 hours prior and smoking when possible. Start Arnica tablets 3 days prior to reduce bruising. Stay well hydrated and notify Platinum Medical Spa of any changes in medications or health status. Pain management may include topical numbing (45–60 minutes prior), and in some cases oral medication or nitrous oxide if arranged in advance.
Morpheus8 treatments are typically performed in a series of 1–5 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart, depending on individual goals and treatment intensity. Each session includes topical numbing, followed by microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Gradual improvements in skin texture, tone, and tightening occur over time as collagen remodeling continues.
After the age of 20, collagen production — the protein that keeps skin firm and youthful — declines by about 1% each year. While this change is gradual, it leads to visible signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin over time.
Most skincare products and supplements offer minimal results when it comes to restoring collagen. Even with great genetics, nearly everyone experiences skin aging eventually — and creams alone can't stop it.
As our metabolism slows with age, weight fluctuations, cellulite, stretch marks, and scarring become more common. These changes reflect the natural wear and tear of life — and show up everywhere, not just on the face.
Morpheus8 stands out by treating multiple skin issues in a single treatment. From wrinkles and sagging to stretch marks, acne scars, dark spots, and small fat pockets, this powerful device helps rejuvenate and resurface the skin for a smoother, tighter, and more even appearance.
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness. Most patients begin to notice results within a few days, with continued improvement over several weeks as collagen production increases. Results typically peak around the three-week mark and can last up to a year. For best results, a series of 2-4 initial treatments may be recommended, followed by maintenance sessions.Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types — including darker tones — thanks to its advanced color-blind technology. It's most commonly used on the face and neck but can also treat areas of the body with concerns like sagging skin, scarring, or small fat deposits. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin and goals to tailor a treatment plan that suits your needs. No major prep is needed before your session, though we may ask you to make small adjustments to medications or lifestyle if necessary. Each treatment takes about an hour and includes a numbing cream for comfort. Most patients resume normal activities the same day.
Mild to moderate redness, swelling, warmth, and sensitivity are expected and may last several days to one week. Tiny needle marks or scabs may appear and should resolve naturally. For the first 24 hours, cleanse only with lukewarm water and avoid soaps or products. Apply HA Quenching Serum or Regenerating Skin Nectar/Alastin system starting 1 hour post-treatment and repeat at least 3 times daily.
After 24–72 hours, begin using gentle cleansers and continue hydrating products. Moisturizers may be introduced within 24–72 hours, and makeup may be applied after 24–72 hours, ideally closer to 72 hours. Avoid all active ingredients including retinoids, acids, benzoyl peroxide, and astringents for several days until the skin has healed.
Strict sun avoidance is required. Use SPF 30 or higher daily starting 24–72 hours post-treatment and continue throughout the treatment course. Avoid tanning, sun exposure, and heat. Pigment control regimens may be restarted 3–7 days after healing and continued as directed to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Avoid strenuous exercise, heat exposure, saunas, hot tubs, and activities that increase heart rate for 24–72 hours. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, smoking, high-sodium, high-sugar, and spicy foods for at least 24–48 hours post-treatment. Do not rub, massage, or touch the treated area for at least 24 hours. Sleep with your head elevated for 2–3 days to reduce swelling.
Avoid NSAIDs, Aspirin, ibuprofen, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, and other blood-thinning agents for at least 4 days post-treatment to reduce bruising and swelling risk. Arnica may be used to minimize bruising. Prophylactic antivirals should be continued if prescribed.
Healing varies by individual. Redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are expected and temporary. Small scabs may form within 1–3 days and must not be picked. Rare side effects include blistering, infection, pigmentation changes, or scarring. Contact Platinum Medical Spa immediately if you experience worsening symptoms, open wounds, signs of infection, or significant pain. Follow-up is recommended 4–6 weeks after each treatment, and maintenance treatments may be required to sustain results.
