RF Microneedling (Morpheus8)

Introduction to Morpheus8 (RF Microneedling)

Morpheus8 (RF microneedling) is a powerful tool in any anti-aging arsenal, enabling dramatic skin rejuvenation results that enhance self-confidence by combining traditional collagen induction therapy with cutting-edge radiofrequency energy. Morpheus8 effects radical change both inside-out and outside-in. Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim is proud to offer this innovative cosmetic solution to his patients in Melbourne, FL, and beyond.

What Is Morpheus8?

Conventional microneedling utilizes a series of tiny needles to create micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production, thereby firming and revitalizing the skin from within. Morpheus8 builds upon this medspa staple by applying radiofrequency energy to the pores, exponentially increasing the collagen-rebuilding power of the treatment process. FDA-approved as a SARD, or subdermal adipose remodeling device, Morpheus8 can help reverse signs of aging without the need for anesthesia, incisions, recovery time, or scarring.

step

What is the First Step?

To get started with RF microneedling in Melbourne, you will sit down with Dr. Ibrahim and his team for a private consultation. This initial visit is dedicated to addressing all your questions, discussing your goals for your appearance, and completing a medical and physical assessment. Once Dr. Ibrahim approves you for Morpheus8 and your treatment date has been set, you will be asked to follow a few guidelines that can help you make the most of your session:

  • Avoid wearing makeup to the office on the day of your appointment
  • Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least one month before Morpheus8
  • Don’t schedule any waxing appointments for a few weeks before your session
  • If you suffer from cold sores or herpes, take an antiviral medication before treatment
  • Discontinue taking aspirin, ibuprofen, Excedrin, Motrin, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, flax oil, cod liver oil, fish oil, vitamin A, vitamin E, and other essential fatty acids at least one week prior to Morpheus8
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol intake for a few days before your appointment

What to Expect on the Day of Morpheus8 Treatment

Even with the addition of RF energy to microneedle use, treatment with Morpheus8 is considered virtually painless. However, to maximize your comfort, we will apply a topical anesthetic to the skin prior to your session. The device handpiece is then passed over the skin, which may create a mild prickling sensation, letting you know that Morpheus8 is working. The radiofrequency energy delivered to the skin is highly controlled and uniform, ensuring balanced, even results. Sessions are typically completed within around 30-60 minutes.

Morpheus8 Recovery

After your Morpheus8 treatment in Melbourne, you will experience little to no downtime. Most patients can expect a return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Mild swelling and redness may occur, peaking within the first few days and then gradually subsiding over the course of several weeks. You are permitted to cover any skin discoloration with cosmetics after the first 72 hours. For 7-10 days after Morpheus8, take care to avoid harmful UV rays from the sun, as your skin may be especially sensitive.
