14 Apr Eva Longoria Cites Morpheus8 as a Top Treatment
Celebrities are getting more and more candid with their beauty tools and tricks, with Eva Longoria recently highlighting Morpheus8 microneedling as one of her favorite tools for turning back the clock. It’s also one of the most-requested treatments at Parson Skin Center. Morpheus8 is a kind of advanced microneedling that became TikTok famous, and is suitable for the face, neck, and body. According to Longoria, after her son was born she was exercising and eating healthy but still had loose skin—that’s something no healthy lifestyle alone will fix. “A mommy friend told me about this technology,” she shares, “and it’s very useful because it doesn’t involve downtime. I do it when I have a red carpet event and it’s a great tune-up.”
So, what makes Morpheus8 different than other kinds of microneedling? It goes deeper than any other previous microneedling technology while delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy at the same time. The “fractional radiofrequency microneedling device” is a tool to rejuvenate skin while encouraging collagen production below the dermis. It can target the subcutaneous fat and deep skin layers where the building blocks of youth are found. With the ability to reach up to 8 mm in depth, all while delivering RF energy, you can actually “morph” your body into a more attractive, youthful you.
Who is Morpheus8 for?
If you’ve tried traditional microneedling before, you’re going to love Morpheus8. And if you’re new to microneedling, why not get started with the best and latest technology? All kinds of microneedling, including Morpheus8, are suitable for men and women of all ages and of any skin tone and type. There are very few contraindications for Morpheus8, but those with open lesions should wait until their skin has healed before undergoing any kind of minimally invasive procedure.
Even though Morpheus8 goes deeper than any other microneedling system, it still puts client comfort first. It does not feel much different than traditional microneedling (which is often described as feeling like microdermabrasion thanks to how fine the needles are). You can use Morpehus8 to treat fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, scars, signs of acne, and it can even be used for subcutaneous fat remodeling. Even if you have sensitive skin or more melanin, you can benefit from Morpeheus8 (the same cannot be said of all non-surgical treatments).
Benefits of Morpheus8
If you are looking to renew your skin and reverse the signs of aging and sun damage with little to no downtime, Morpheus8 might be for you. Just like with other types of microneedling, skin may appear pink after your treatment. This usually goes away in a few hours. Still, it is best to plan your Morpheus8 treatment at least 24 – 48 hours before an event.
If you decide that Morpheus8 is for you, the appointment will begin with a topical anesthetic applied to the treatment area for optimal comfort. Next, the handheld device will be passed over the skin so that the microneedling and radiofrequency energy are both applied. Morpheus8 does not take longer than a usual microneedling appointment and easily fits into your lunch hour.
What to Know About Morpheus8
You can use Morpheus8 anywhere on the face or body. The most common areas are the face and neck, chest, stomach, and knees. You’ll start to see some results in just a few days, but bear in mind that full results are usually seen three months after your last treatment. The exact number of treatments you will need varies, but in most cases it is three appointments spaced about one month apart. If you start Morpheus8 now, you will see most of the results by the end of summer.
Once your initial treatments are complete, we will assess your skin and plan for any maintenance sessions. Immediately after treatment, avoid sweating or being in the heat for at least 2 – 3 days. However, you can apply makeup after just 1 – 2 days. Morpheus8 does require a little more downtime than traditional microneedling, but not much. It can also be used as part of an overall treatment plan with other procedures and treatments like Botox, laser skin rejuvenation, dermal fillers, and more. In some cases, multiple treatments can be done during the same appointment.
