Fractional Laser Resurfacing (Ablative)

Enhance your skin

WHAT IS MORPHEUS8?

Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that uses radiofrequency with microneedling to stimulate collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis and tighten the skin. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance. This will improve fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and acne scarring.

Before & After

WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?

Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, periorbital area, neck, chest, abdomen, back, arms, and legs.

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE RECOMMENDED?

Your practitioner will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Typically, a package of two treatments are recommended. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results.

Before & After

HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three to four weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF FRACTIONATED ENERGY?

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.

Before & After

CAN ANYONE USE MORPHEUS8?

The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated.

CAN THIS BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?

Yes, Morpheus8 can be used before or after other treatments. Morpheus8 can also be combined with other lnMode energy treatments or injectables, including Botox or filler, to achieve more extensive results.

WHEN CAN I PUT SUNSCREEN AND/OR MAKE-UP ON AFTER TREATMENT?

Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied 2 full days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions and slight redness after treatment, depending on treatment parameters.

Before & After

WHAT KIND OF PRE- AND POST-PROCEDURE CARE IS REQUIRED?

Patients will receive a pre- and post-procedure care kit with their Morpheus treatment. They should discontinue all retinoids, acids or aggressive skin products and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen every day pre- and post-procedure. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also slow the aging process.

Of all the methods that can reverse the signs of aging, there is no better treatment than fractional laser skin resurfacing. This latest laser treatment is far more effective than any cream or peel currently available. At Curcio Dermatology, we offer the very latest in fractional laser therapies to rejuvenate your skin and take years off your appearance.

Fractional laser treatments are often combined with Skin Tightening treatments, Photo Facial treatments, Botox and Soft Tissue Fillers to enhance the aesthetic outcomes of the skin
