WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR MORPHEUS 8?

 

     Morpheus 8 is safe and effective for patients of all skin tones. Healthy adults with a desire to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce fat may be good candidates for Morpheus 8.

Dr. Leonard can determine if you are a good candidate for Morpheus8 by meeting with you in a consultation. In the consultation, he will assess your cosmetic concerns and learn about your treatment goals and your medical history.

    Dr. Leonard has a unique aptitude for creating customized, combination treatments. His expertise and experience allow him to select the technologies and methods that will give you the best results.

     Morpheus8 is designed to target small pockets of fat and mild skin laxity. Patients with considerable excess fat or those who suffer from loose, hanging skin may be better candidates for more invasive fat removal or skin tightening procedures.

 

 

 

                        

        HOW DOES MORPHEUS8 WORK?

 

     Morpheus 8 pairs two distinct and highly effective cosmetic enhancement technologies: RF heat energy and microneedling. The combination of these two proven modalities provides significant improvements to the treatment area.

Morpheus8 allows for deep penetration of RF energy. The depth can be customized to precisely address each patient’s unique needs. As a result, Morpheus8 can treat a broad spectrum of cosmetic concerns, including more severe scarring and skin laxity than can be addressed with similar microneedling RF treatments like InMode Fractora.

 

    Dr. Leonard’s patients love their Morpheus8 results because the procedure addresses surface-level concerns with the skin, as well as having a body sculpting effect. Morpheus 8 works by sending RF energy through the microneedles and into the targeted tissues to:

 

 

MELT FAT

​

    Morpheus 8 is the only FDA-approved subdermal adipose remodeling device of its kind. Dr. Leonard uses the device to deliver controlled RF heat to three layers of fat. The heat helps to liquefy targeted fat cells, so your body can process them for permanent elimination. Once this process is complete, patients observe slimmer, more defined contours.

 

 

 

REFRESH THE SKIN

 

     Microneedling is well-known for its collagen-boosting effects. Tiny pins on the tip of the Morpheus8 device create micro-injuries to the surface of the skin, which initiates the body’s natural healing response. Increased collagen production results in stronger, smoother skin over time.

 

 

 

 

PROCEDURE DETAILS

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING MORPHEUS 8 TREATMENT

 

      Dr. Leonard provides Morpheus8 treatments in-office at his Aventura medical practice. A Morpheus8 session typically takes an hour or less. Dr. Leonard begins the procedure by applying a topical numbing cream to the treatment site(s). For patients whose procedure involves a particularly high setting on the Morpheus8 device, Dr. Leonard may recommend local anesthesia to prevent discomfort during the session.

     Dr. Leonard will set the device to reach specific layers of tissue in the targeted area based on your unique anatomy and desired outcome. He will then apply the Morpheus8 device across the treatment area. The tiny needles will penetrate the skin to create microchannels which allow the RF energy to reach the intended tissue. Patients often report feeling pressure as the device is applied. Some patients may also experience minor discomfort during treatment.

BENEFITS OF MORPHEUS 8

    For patients seeking a minimally invasive option for smoothing skin and refining contours, Dr. Leonard often recommends Morpheus8 for its many benefits. Treatment with Morpheus 8 has several advantages, including:

• No downtime

• Customizable treatment depth

• Boosts collagen to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles

• Minimizes the appearance of scars

• Reduces the appearance of sun damage

• Remodels and reduces fat

• Safe and effective for use throughout the body and even on small areas of the face

• Approved for a broad spectrum of skin tones

• Minimal possibility of hyperpigmentation even for patients with darker skin tones

• Deep penetration of RF energy

 

 

 

 

MORPHEUS 8 RESULTS

      Noticeable improvements can appear as soon as three to four days after a Morpheus8 treatment. It may take about three weeks to see skin tightening effects. Patients should expect to see complete results after about 90 days when new collagen has developed.

Morpheus 8 results can be long-lasting. The visible effects of fat reduction from Morpheus8 can be permanent in patients who maintain optimal weight. The collagen-boosting effects of the treatment can last up to one year, depending on your body’s natural rate of aging. Dr. Leonard often recommends yearly Morpheus 8 sessions to maintain improvements.

HOW DOES NURSE PRACTITIONER DR. LEONARD DO MORPHEUS 8 DIFFERENTLY?

 

     At our Aventura medical practice, Dr. Leonard performs Morpheus8 to enhance a range of treatment outcomes. The skin rejuvenation and fatty tissue remodeling effects of Morpheus8 often make it an essential complement to other procedures like:

 

 

 

STRETCH MARK REDUCTION

​

Dr. Leonard often uses a combination of ablative laser treatments, and Morpheus 8 to reduce the appearance of stretch marks

 

 

 

KNEE REJUVENATION

 

    Morpheus 8 can be combined with thread lifting, internal heating with Ultherapy, and/Radiesse or Sculptra injections to dramatically improve wrinkles and skin laxity in the knee area without the need for surgery. To maximize Morpheus 8 results, Dr. Leonard also uses a targeted post-treatment skincare protocol usually by SkinMedica. For about 72 hours after Morpheus8, your skin has a significantly increased ability to deeply absorb skincare products.

Dr. Leonard capitalizes on this opportunity by recommending patient-specific medical-grade skincare products. Post-treatment skin rejuvenation typically involves products with ingredients like vitamin C, peptides, growth factors, retinol, and hyaluronic acid.

 

 

 

HOW MUCH DOES MORPHEUS8 COST?

 

     The price of Morpheus 8 is based on the size of the treatment area(s) and how many sessions are needed to achieve your desired outcomes. Dr. Leonard often pairs Morpheus8 with complementary treatments to maximize improvements. Additional procedures will impact the overall cost of your skin rejuvenation and contouring protocol. Dr. Leonard will review treatment options and pricing information with you in your consultation.
