You’ve tried the creams. The prescriptions. The promises.

And yet, the breakouts keep returning—and so do the scars. If your skin feels stuck in a cycle of inflammation, blemishes, and uneven texture, it might be time to look beyond surface treatments.

At Celebrity Laser & Skin Care in North Vancouver, we see more clients turning to clinical technologies like Morpheus8, a treatment that works beneath the skin’s surface. It doesn’t just address active acne—it targets the long-term damage acne leaves behind.

If traditional acne solutions haven’t delivered the results you want, this might be the deeper approach your skin needs.

The Real Problem with Acne Treatments Today

Acne isn’t just frustrating—it’s persistent. Many clients come to us after years of trying everything from over-the-counter cleansers to prescription creams and dietary changes, only to face recurring breakouts and scars.

Why does this happen?

Most acne treatments focus on the surface. They dry out excess oil, fight bacteria, or calm visible inflammation. But for those with chronic, cystic, or adult-onset acne, surface-level solutions often fall short.

The real issue? Acne develops beneath the skin.

Repeated inflammation damages collagen, slows healing, and leads to scarring, enlarged pores, and lingering pigmentation. If you only treat the top layer, the cycle of flare-ups and texture issues continues.

That’s why at Celebrity Laser & Skin Care, we take a different approach. We treat acne as a clinical skin condition, not a cosmetic nuisance. With tools like Morpheus8, we go deeper—targeting inflammation at the root, helping skin repair itself from within.

What is Morpheus8, and how does it work for acne?

Morpheus8 isn’t a surface-level fix. It’s a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device designed to treat acne at its source—deep in the skin’s dermis.

Unlike traditional treatments that stop at the epidermis, Morpheus8’s microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. This dual action does three key things for acne-prone skin:

✔ Reduces inflammation by calming the tissues where breakouts begin

✔ Regulates oil production by targeting overactive sebaceous glands

✔ Stimulates collagen remodelling to repair texture and reduce scarring

This combination interrupts the cycle of inflammation and damage. With repeated breakouts, the skin’s support structure weakens, leading to enlarged pores, scars, and uneven tone. Morpheus8 helps rebuild that structure from the inside out.

What sets it apart is that it treats both active acne and the after-effects like pitted scars or post-inflammatory pigmentation. By remodelling collagen and improving skin elasticity, it gives your skin the tools to heal—not just in the moment, but long-term.

Active Acne vs Scarring: What Morpheus8 Targets

Unlike many acne treatments that force you to choose between managing breakouts or treating scars, Morpheus8 does both—simultaneously and strategically.

Here’s what it can target:

What Morpheus8 Targets

Active Acne

The RF energy reduces inflammation and heat in sebaceous glands, helping to calm existing breakouts and lower the frequency of new ones—without drying or damaging the skin.

Cystic Breakouts

Deep, inflamed cysts respond well to Morpheus8’s ability to reach below the skin’s surface, calming stubborn lesions that topical treatments often can’t touch.

Acne Scarring

Morpheus8 rebuilds collagen in areas damaged by chronic inflammation. It works on:

  • Pitted scars
  • Rolling scars
  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation

Oily Skin

Overproduction of oil is a major contributor to breakouts. Morpheus8 helps regulate this by targeting the oil glands directly.

Enlarged Pores & Texture Irregularities

The treatment smooths rough patches and minimizes visible pores by tightening the skin and boosting structural support.

Weak Collagen & Skin Laxity

With every session, collagen production increases, making the skin firmer and more resilient.

What results can you expect?

Morpheus8 delivers more than surface-level improvements—it rebuilds your skin’s foundation from within.

Noticeable Changes After Just a Few Weeks

✔ Inflammation reduces as oil production comes under control.

✔ Breakouts become less frequent and less intense.

✔ Skin texture improves, with smoother, tighter, and more refined pores.

If you’re treating active acne, you’ll likely notice:

✔ Fewer new lesions

✔ A calmer skin tone

✔ Less congestion in breakout-prone zones

If your focus is on acne scarring, gradual improvements occur as collagen production increases and skin remodelling takes effect over several weeks.

Results Build with Each Session

Morpheus8 is a cumulative treatment. Each session triggers deeper tissue repair, leading to stronger collagen, improved skin resilience, and better long-term clarity.

Most clients need a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. Depending on the severity of acne or scarring, additional sessions may be recommended by your provider.

Benefits That Last

✔ Smoother skin tone and texture

✔ Reduced scarring and post-acne marks

✔ More even skin tone with fewer flare-ups

✔ Long-term control over oil and congestion

Because Morpheus8 works with your body’s natural regeneration process, results tend to be long-lasting and stable, not just a short-term fix.

What to Expect During Your Morpheus8 Treatment at Celebrity Laser & Skin Care

From consultation to aftercare, your Morpheus8 experience is designed for comfort, clarity, and visible progress. Here’s what the full journey looks like:

1. Personalized Consultation

Your visit starts with a 1:1 consultation with one of our skin care specialists. We’ll assess your skin, review your acne history, and develop a treatment plan based on your goals and concerns.

2. Pre-Treatment Prep

Before the procedure, we cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. We also review any medications or skincare routines that might affect treatment.

3. The Treatment Session

Using a precision Morpheus8 handpiece, your technician creates micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This stimulates collagen production, regulates oil activity, and initiates repair from within.

4. What It Feels Like

Most clients describe the session as warm pressure or tiny pinches. Thanks to the numbing cream, discomfort is minimal and well-managed throughout.

5. Timing

Each session takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of your plan.

6. Immediate Aftercare

Post-treatment, your skin may look red or feel warm—similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 1–3 days. You’ll be given specific aftercare instructions, including gentle cleansers, moisturizer recommendations, and sun protection.

7. Gradual Results

Some improvements are visible within a week—especially in reduced inflammation or breakouts—but the most noticeable texture and scar improvements emerge over several weeks as collagen rebuilds.

8. Multiple Sessions for Best Results

A typical plan includes 3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. Additional sessions may be recommended depending on your skin’s needs and response to treatment.
