You may have heard about microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) treatments as non-invasive methods to improve the appearance of your skin. These two treatments are widely used because they increase collagen and elastin production, which in turn helps diminish wrinkles, scars, pores, and sagging skin. You may be surprised to learn that microneedling can yield even more impressive outcomes when combined with radiofrequency (RF) technology.
What is microneedling and how does it work?
Microneedling is a form of cosmetic needling in which very fine needles are used to make numerous, superficial punctures in the skin. The skin’s natural healing process, which includes the generation of collagen and elastin, is triggered by these tiny wounds. The proteins collagen and elastin are responsible for the firmness, resilience, and pliability of the skin. Less of these proteins are produced by the skin as we get older, which is a major contributor to wrinkles, sagging, and other telltale indications of aging. By increasing collagen and elastin production, microneedling can help counteract these effects and restore a more youthful appearance to the skin.
What is radiofrequency (RF) and how does it work?
As with laser hair removal, radiofrequency (RF) cosmetic procedures use energy waves to gently warm the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) causes collagen and elastin synthesis to increase and skin cells to contract and tighten due to the generated heat. The proteins collagen and elastin are responsible for the firmness, resilience, and pliability of the skin. Less of these proteins are produced by the skin as we get older, which is a major contributor to wrinkles, sagging, and other telltale indications of aging. By increasing collagen and elastin production in the skin, RF can help counteract these effects and restore a more youthful appearance.
How is Morpheus8 different from other RF microneedling treatments?
There are several ways in which Morpheus8 stands apart from other RF microneedling therapies, such as:
- It may reach up to 8 mm below the skin’s surface, making it more effective than most other treatments. Because of this, it can reach not just the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis), but also the dermis and the subdermal fatty layer beneath the skin. Morpheus8’s ability to penetrate to these deeper levels allows it to treat more severe skin problems like scarring, sagging, and fat deposits.
- It has a special “burst” mode that stimulates collagen production in many skin layers at once. The skin is heated more evenly and with greater control in this mode because the RF energy is delivered in brief pulses of varying strength and duration.
- Its 64-pin handpiece treats a bigger area of skin per stamp than most other treatments. More surface area can be covered in less time and with fewer passes when using Morpheus8 on the face and body.
