Do you suffer from skin laxity that affects your self-esteem and confidence? It’s no secret that having loose, dull skin can prevent you from feeling your best. Fortunately, you can now achieve non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation with Morpheus8 at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago, IL. Our experienced, board-certified providers can use this treatment to remodel your skin and reveal a more radiant appearance.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge fractional laser device that combines radiofrequency energy and microneedling. We can use the device to sculpt or remodel fat beneath the skin. And if you wish to target superficial concerns, treatments with this laser device can help you achieve smoother, tighter skin with reduced scarring and improved texture.
If you’re looking for a superior cosmetic treatment that can deeply penetrate the skin to stimulate collagen production, you’ll love what our Morpheus8 treatments have to offer. Our innovative skin-tightening treatment can transform your skin and address your cosmetic concerns in multiple ways.
The Technology Behind the Treatment
Morpheus8 treatments work by sending radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This mechanism stimulates collagen and elastin production, leaving you with smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin. And with the addition of microneedling, Morpheus8 treatments can reach a new depth and completely rejuvenate your appearance.
Microneedling
The microneedling component of the treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin that stimulate the body’s natural healing process. New skin cells are produced, while the levels of collagen and elastin in the skin increase.
Radiofrequency Energy
In addition to rejuvenating the skin through microneedling, our treatment also transforms your appearance by transmitting radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin. This dual mechanism offers a wide variety of benefits. When radiofrequency energy is combined with microneedling, you can expect visible improvements in skin tone, firmness, and texture.
We can customize the treatment to target your specific concerns and help you achieve a more radiant, youthful appearance.
What Are the Benefits of the Treatment?
Boost Collagen Production
You can expect to achieve tighter skin after a series of treatments. Several weeks after your treatment session, the new collagen produced in your skin will continue to increase in volume. You’ll also notice reduced skin laxity and a subtle yet visible lift in your face.
If you have skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation and scarring, you’ll notice a visible improvement in your skin tone and complexion.
Target Various Areas
Our skin tightening treatments are versatile and can also be performed on other areas of the body. The treatment can effectively reach deep layers of the skin and tissue, helping to eliminate excess fat in the neck and jaw. The most commonly treated areas that benefit from radiofrequency energy and microneedling are the lower face and neck.
Minimize Wrinkles and Loose Skin
Skin laxity and wrinkles come with age, but there’s a way to diminish and minimize their appearance. Radiofrequency energy uses heat to tighten the skin and shrink pores while stimulating natural collagen production.
Rejuvenate and Refresh Your Appearance
Do you have scar tissue or stretch marks? Radiofrequency energy and microneedling can minimize acne scars and alleviate stretch marks from childbirth or dramatic weight changes. Because the treatment stimulates new cell and collagen production, you can achieve firmer, tighter skin.
What Can You Expect From the Treatment?
The treatment involves using tiny needles that penetrate the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. Because this skin tightening treatment is minimally invasive, there’s no need to undergo general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. We will prepare your skin for the treatment by applying a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort.
To achieve your desired results in the least invasive manner, we will adjust the pins of the Morpheus8 device to deliver the necessary amount of energy at the right depth. Depending on the size and location of the treatment area, you can expect your appointment to last about 1 to 2 hours.
When Will You See the Results?
Radiofrequency energy can effectively reduce wrinkles and remodel collagen within a short period of time. Our minimally invasive skin-tightening treatment can renew the deeper layers of the skin and deliver visible results in a matter of days.
Nevertheless, it can take up to three weeks for significantly visible results to appear. And because collagen production occurs gradually, you can expect enhanced results up to three months after your treatment.
How Long Will the Results Last?
With our skin-tightening treatments, you can enjoy long-lasting results for 12 to 18 months. Follow-up sessions will be required to maintain your desired results. You may also take advantage of other cosmetic treatments to further benefit your skin.
How Many Treatment Sessions Are Needed?
We will customize a treatment plan and schedule based on your skin condition and cosmetic goals. Some individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity may only require one treatment session, while others may need multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve significant results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Skin Tightening and Skin Rejuvenation?
Are you looking for an effective, minimally invasive skin tightening treatment that can also diminish the appearance of scars and other skin imperfections? Radiofrequency with microneedling can be ideal for you. We can perform this unique skin-tightening and rejuvenating treatment on almost all skin types and address mild to moderate cosmetic concerns.
