Morpheus8 (RF Micro-needling)

Combining radio-frequency (RF) technology with micro-needling, Morpheus8 prompts the skin’s natural healing response, tightens skin, and targets stubborn fat pockets. With a personalised treatment plan, we can tailor the treatment to address your personal skin concerns and treat your desired areas, from full facial treatments to areas of the body such as the thighs.

If you are looking for a non-invasive treatment to help your skin remain strong and elastic, this could be a great option. Consult with us at Ascension Clinic in Brisbane for your custom treatment plan.

Benefits of Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is an RF microneedling treatment. This means that it combines radio-frequency (RF) with microneedling to create more powerful effects in the skin. Combining two skin resurfacing methods, Morpheus 8 targets and strengthens the Fibro-Septal Network (FSN) skin-fat matrix.

While micro-needling and RF treatments can each be effective on their own, combining the two methods can enhance the results. Both methods encourage the skin’s natural healing response, but the heat from the RF technology can also tighten connective fibres and break down stubborn fat cells.

Although each patient may have a different experience, the benefits of this fractional microneedling treatment can include:

• Less downtime compared to more invasive treatments
• Increases collagen and elastin production
• Versatile, for virtually all skin types
• Long-lasting results

We can use Morpheu8 to treat many different issues, including:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Skin laxity
• Acne and acne scarring
• Pigmented spots
• Large pores
• Stretch marks
• Other skin texture issues

Remember that the results somewhat depend on your skin condition, goals, and treatment plan. Therefore, the results and benefits may vary.

Morpheus8 Procedure

A consultation with Dr Scott Allison will help determine your treatment plan and exact treatment areas. Often, patients may wish to treat the jawline, jowls, and under the eyes, but we can also treat areas on the body such as the chest, arms, or abdomen. When we have discussed your goals with you and developed a plan for your Morpheus8 procedure, we can then schedule your treatment.

As a deep fractional treatment, the RF energy can target multi-level treatment depths at millisecond intervals, which allows for faster treatment times and less heat exposure to the surrounding skin. Tiny needles puncture the skin, not only to deliver the powerful RF energy but also to trigger your body’s natural wound response. This healing response increases the amount of collagen production in the area, which can improve the skin’s tone and texture.

The positive effects produced by Morpheus8 typically develop over time. As a result, the outcomes may not be visible straight away, and you may need future treatments to attain the results you want. We will discuss these factors with you in the consulting process in order to help you understand the process and what outcomes you can anticipate.

Before and After Morpheus8

Morpheus8 Aftercare

After the treatment, some redness and minor discomfort are typical but should subside quickly. You can resume your daily routine as usual after your treatment. However, you should also be prepared to take care of your skin, as it may be more sensitive after Morpheus8. In order to help your body process the effects of the procedure, we may advise you to:

• Avoid direct sun exposure
• Try to avoid touching your treated area
• Use a high SPF sunscreen
• Keep your skin moisturised
• Avoid makeup for one to two days

Taking good care of yourself and your skin will not only help you avoid risks, but it will also help your body properly process the treatment. Your body’s natural healing mechanisms will be active, leading to an increase in collagen and firmness over time.

For more information about aftercare, speak to a qualified professional. We will ensure that you are well informed and prepared for the aftercare process prior to your treatment session.

How much does Morpheus8 cost in Australia?

The pricing may vary for patients according to the duration and frequency of their Morpheus8 treatment sessions. This means that before we provide you with a cost estimate, we will need to have clear knowledge of what you wish to achieve. Explaining your skin concerns and goals with us will allow us to plan accordingly.

Many clients opt for a series of three treatment sessions. Therefore, we offer a package of three treatments for $2850 or an individual treatment session for $950. For more information on Morpheus 8 treatment costs, please get in touch with our team.

Risks and complications

Although the risks are low, it is important to be fully informed about any potential complications before you get cosmetic treatment. You will be informed of the potential side effects during your consultation. These side effects of Morpheus8 can include swelling and redness, which are common and should not be a cause for great concern.

However, in less common cases, the risks of treatment can include:

• Bleeding
• Bruising
• Infection
• Skin blisters
• Reactions to the topical numbing cream

If you have any of the above reactions or are concerned about symptoms following your treatment, you should contact the clinic. We can provide you with more guidance based on your circumstances.
