Morpheus 8 - Skin Laxity and Cellulite
What is Skin Laxity?
Skin laxity refers to the gradual loosening or sagging of the skin, typically due to aging, sun exposure, and loss of collagen and elastin. Common areas affected include the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. Skin laxity can create a tired or aged appearance, but Morpheus8 effectively addresses this by promoting new collagen formation, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Let’s Talk About Cellulite
Cellulite is a condition in which the skin appears dimpled or uneven, typically occurring on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. It’s caused by fat deposits pushing through the connective tissue beneath the skin. While diet and exercise alone often don’t effectively reduce cellulite, Morpheus8 is designed to smooth and tighten these areas, significantly improving texture and tone.
What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated with Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is incredibly versatile and can treat a variety of body areas, including:
- Face and Neck: Tightens and lifts sagging skin, reduces fine lines, tightens the jawline, and smooths wrinkles.
- Arms: Reduces laxity on the upper arms.
- Abdomen and Flanks: Tightens loose skin, reduces fat, and reduces cellulite for a toned appearance.
- Thighs and Buttocks: Effectively targets and smooths cellulite and sagging, crepey skin in these areas.
- Knees and Hands: Rejuvenates areas prone to aging and skin laxity.
How Morpheus8 Works to Reduce Cellulite
Morpheus8 uses a combination of RF energy and microneedling to penetrate the deeper layers of skin, specifically targeting cellulite-prone areas. Gold micro-needles deliver radiofrequency energy to remodel collagen and elastin beneath the skin’s surface, which promotes collagen production and fat remodeling, leading to tighter, smoother skin. This process effectively reduces the visibility of cellulite, creating a more refined and toned appearance over time.
Duration and Post-Treatment Care
Morpheus8 sessions typically take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. After your Morpheus8 treatment, there are a few post-care guidelines to ensure the best results. It’s recommended to avoid working out or any activities that cause excessive sweating for three days following treatment. Makeup should also be avoided during this time, though you may use a mineral-based medical grade tinted sunscreen if needed or Oxygenetix foundation. For optimal results, three treatments spaced about a month apart are suggested, with annual touch-up treatments recommended to maintain the improvements. NDA Medical Spa™ offers convenient treatment packages to help you save and stay on track with your skincare goals.
