19 Dec Kim K. Reveals She Uses Morpheus8 … on Her Stomach
No matter what you think of the Kardashians, there’s no denying they 1) look fabulous (post-40) and 2) they make a living off their looks. Kim Kardashian recently revealed that the secret to her taut tummy is, at least in part, due to Morpheus8. It’s the hybrid treatment available at Parson Skin Center that combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to double down on skin tightening and improvement. Kim does a lot to maintain her shape and has tried it all, sharing her workout regimens on Instagram and her sometimes-vegan diet tips. However, for a mother who birthed two children (and used surrogates for two more), healthy eating and workouts aren’t going to be enough, especially for the stomach.
She recently shared an Instagram story of her getting Morpheus8 on her abs. According to Kim, “This is a game changer! I did Morpheus laser to tighten my stomach. I think this is my fave laser.” Morpheus8 isn’t technically a laser, but like a lot of energy-based devices it is often grouped into the laser family. Morpheus8 is most well-known for working magic on the face, but can technically be used anywhere on the body just like traditional microneedling. It’s no surprise that after Kim shared her treatment, Google searches for Morpheus8 skyrocketed.
What is Morpheus?
This technology is designed to tone and contour the face and body for a smoother, more taut appearance. It is minimally invasive (as it is microneedling) and is a fractional skin treatment that works by kick-starting collagen production. However, even though it’s part microneedling, it’s totally different than any microneedling you’ve had done before. For starters, it goes deeper. Morpheus8 reaches 4mm into the skin’s surface while regular microneedling goes just half that far. When deeper layers of the skin are reached, remodeling is more powerful.
At the same time, the needles are delivering radiofrequency energy right where it’s needed most. This is another means of collagen induction, and is otherwise exclusively achieved through a surface-level, non-invasive method. Only Morpheus8 actually allows the energy to be delivered deep below the skin’s surface. Since both microneedling and radiofrequency do not offer immediate results, you’ll have to practice some patience. Initial results can start to be seen about one month after your treatment and continue to improve for up to six months.
Making a Change with Morpheus
Morpheus8 comes with a host of benefits because it stimulates collagen production while also resurfacing the skin. It can aid in textural issues, such as shrinking pore size. It can tighten and lift. Morpheus8 can decrease pigmentation and help to lighten scars. An added benefit of Morpheus8 is that some patients can even enjoy a one and done treatment for great results. You’ll see a significant difference after just one month, which isn’t the case with “just” microneedling since it requires several sessions and a longer wait period to see any real difference.
The downtime for Morpheus8 is minimal, making it an easy choice for a holiday treatment. Numbing agents are typically used to maximize comfort, and with this help most clients can tolerate even the highest energy levels. For those with mild laxity, Morpheus8 can also be used as an alternative to more aggressive options like surgery. You can also use this technology to prevent early signs of aging and laxity. It is suitable for everyone and takes just about 30 – 60 minutes depending on the treatment site(s).
Is Morpheus for You?
If you’ve tried microneedling before, it’s nothing like Morpheus8. This is one of the latest technologies using a hybrid approach to achieve maximum benefits in the least amount of time. Morpheus8 uses the healing powers of your body to improve your skin from the inside out, making it a favorite for those who love all-natural results. If you’re ready to take your skin care game to the next level, discover for yourself what Morpheus8 can do for you.
It can also complement other procedures like a chemical peel, though these two treatments cannot be performed at the same time in most cases. Start your skin improvement journey by scheduling a consultation at Parson Skin Center to learn more. Call the office or fill out the online contact form now.
