MORPHEUS8 - A CLIENT ’ S JOURNEY By SDS Rejuvenate
At SDS Rejuvenate MediSpa , we now offer the latest FDA approved skin tightening MORPHEUS8 , the powerful and deepest Subdermal Fractional micro-needling Radio Frequency ( RF ) technology . It ’ s renowned treatment to achieve superior skin tightening , lifting , and contouring by restoring natural collagen and elastin .
Penetrating deep into the skin and fat , this transforms the ageing face and body into a more desired smooth and contoured appearance . The Morpheus8 microneedles can go deeper than any RF microneedling device on the market to date . It has been FDA approved as a treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles , improve skin tone , and texture , and tighten areas of skin laxity on the face and neck .
We asked one of our patients to share their MORPHEUS8 experience at SDS Rejuvenate MediSpa :
MORPHEUS8 – Victoria ’ s MORPHEUS8 Review I embarked on a journey of skin health at SDS Rejuvenate MediSpa several years ago . I had always wanted to improve the look of my skin so I opted for a free skin assessment and consultation .
I was advised that microneedling would help in addressing some of my skin concerns , I was given the full information and decided I would give this a go . Prior to COVID19 , I underwent sessions of microneedling and within the year I saw marked improvements in my skin , and like everyone else post lockdown , the first thing I wanted to do was rush to SDS Rejuvenate to restart my treatments !
When I heard about MORPHEUS8 I began to research this new treatment and realising that this was the gold standard of microneedling as it was combined with radio frequency , I decided to sign up immediately to the waiting list and was honoured to be invited as the first patient to be treated in clinic .
Consultation process : I booked an appointment to speak with both Dr Sally & Dr Ian to discuss the treatment and to discuss if this was appropriate for me . I was advised that the M8 ( MORPHEUS8 ), uses a matrix of 24 thin gold-coated micro pins to deliver radiofrequency ( RF ) energy deep into your skin , creating micro lesions that trigger your body ’ s natural healing response and promote production of new collagen and elastin , to firm and remodel . I excitedly booked my appointment for 2 weeks later with a therapist .
Preparation prior to treatment : I did not have to do anything really to my skin beforehand other than stop any active ingredient skincare products ( for me it was retinol and vitamin c ) and avoid any serious sun exposure for a few days prior to my first M8 treatment .
Day of the treatment : I was guided into the treatment room and after reviewing my medical records again , I was made comfortable on the bed whilst the therapist applied numbing cream from the cheek area down to the base of my neck . The team checked in on me every 10 minutes , making me tea and bringing me magazines to read whilst we waited for the numbing to take effect . This was very relaxing !
The numbing cream was removed , my face felt very strange but not unpleasant , I could touch it but not feel it ? That gave me confidence that I would not feel anything during the treatment ! The therapist informed me she would start at lower part of my neck and work her way up to the cheeks .
The handpiece ( which looks like a scanner at a supermarket checkout ) was applied with quite considerable pressure , but not painful . I felt it more over the chin area , but this discomfort lasted only seconds and when asked could she do it a second pass the answer was a definite yes – no pain no gain !
Immediately after : I had patches where I was very red but within 20 minutes they had begun to subside . My face was initially still feeling a little numb but as this began to wear off , I experienced tightness ( which I rather liked ) but no discomfort .
Next morning : I did not have any redness at all , although I was advised to expect residual redness . I was also advised that I may develop some slight bruising – I didn ’ t .
Aftercare advice : I was advised to continue my current skincare products ; Prepare ( gentle cleanser ), Hydrate ( hyaluronic acid ), Lift ( peptide firming cream ) and Protect 50SPF , then after a few days to incorporate my R + ( retinol ) and C20 ( vitamin C ) slowly . The other tips were to abstain from strenuous exercise , swimming , gym , sauna etc .
My thoughts : I am looking forward to seeing the end results after completing a full course , I have now undergone 2 of 3 planned treatments . My jawline was the first to appear noticeably improved — it looked more defined than previous . I have been informed that results can take up to six months , but I can say without a doubt that my face appears lifted , and the overall appearance of my skin looks so much healthier .
My 6 month post treatment review is already booked , and I can ’ t wait to see the difference .
