Powerful and long-lasting skin rejuvenation doesn’t have to come at the expense of an invasive surgical procedure. New York City aesthetic plastic surgeon Ira Savetsky, MD is thrilled to offer patients high-quality skin renewal with Morpheus8® — one of the most advanced RF microneedling technologies available. Morpheus8® dynamically combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling, creating unmatched benefits in collagen stimulation, skin tightening, and anti-aging. On top of improving the appearance of fine lines, skin laxity, large pores, and a generally unhealthy complexion, patients who undergo Morpheus8® enjoy a healthier and more radiant complexion overall.
What is Morpheus8® Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Morpheus8® is an RF microneedling system that takes advantage of the body’s natural healing capabilities to facilitate the turnover of dull, dead, or rough-looking skin. Morpheus8® works by creating thousands of tiny microchannels in the treated area(s), through which radiofrequency energy can penetrate the deeper skin layers. This triggers collagen and elastin production for the growth of new skin cells, while simultaneously reducing imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, acne scarring, and roughness, among other concerns.
What are the Benefits of Morpheus8® RF Microneedling?
The Morpheus8® system is often considered more powerful than comparable RF microneedling technologies. Not only does Morpheus8® reach the skin at a deeper level than other treatments, but it can penetrate multiple layers of the skin at once for more comprehensive rebuilding of the collagen framework. Results typically come to fruition in the form of:
- Smoother, softer skin
- Smaller pores
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Less acne scars, marks, and age spots
- More sculpted cheeks and jawline
- A firmer, plumper look
Patients generally report tighter, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin in the face, neck, and décolletage. Best of all, the outcome tends to improve over time as treatment continues to produce new collagen.
What Can I Expect During the Morpheus8® Treatment?
The in-office treatment typically takes approximately 90 minutes. Topical anesthesia is usually applied to improve the comfort of treatment; we also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas). During your appointment, the Morpheus8® handpiece is passed along the face and neck to create controlled microperforations in the skin. The microneedles then release radiofrequency energy into the deeper skin layers, tightening and firming skin from the inside out. Redness, swelling, or tenderness immediately after treatment should be expected, but can be managed with over-the-counter medications. While patients may notice a radiant glow after their appointment, the effects of Morpheus8® continue to unfold and improve over the following months. Rejuvenation often lasts one year or longer, creating a stunning long-term outcome.
How Much Does Morpheus8® Cost?
Morpheus8® can be a less expensive yet effective alternative to facelift surgery for patients who prefer minimally invasive facial rejuvenation. There are no fees for general anesthesia, a surgical facility, or other standard expenses associated with cosmetic surgery. While costs are personalized according to each patient’s needs, concerns, goals, and the details of their treatment plan, plastic surgery financing can make the price more affordable for qualified patients. Our office accepts plans from CareCredit® and Cherry financing, both of which can split the price of Morpheus8® into lower, more manageable installments. If you have any questions, our team can provide you with a cost estimate and more detailed information about your payment options.
