What is Morpheus technology?

How the Morpheus device works

Before we learn about the benefits of the Morpheus device for the skin, it is important that you know how the device works to stimulate collagen production and renew your skin cells so that it gives your skin a fresher and younger appearance.

The device relies on fine needles which work with fine exfoliation to cause small surface injuries in the skin, which leads to stimulating your body to produce collagen and renew your skin cells so its texture becomes smoother and fresher.

While radiofrequency works on deep layers of the skin to heat them safely, which stimulates collagen production.

And this heat resulting from heating helps tighten the skin and improve its elasticity from the inside. And when combining fine needles with radiofrequency you get a dual effect; with fine needles you renew your skin surface and heat works to tighten the skin from the inside and improve its elasticity.

Benefits of the Morpheus device for the face

• The Morpheus device helps you improve the appearance of your skin effectively without the need for surgery or a long recovery period, which makes it a safe and practical choice.
• You get long-term results as results may begin after the first session and of course your skin continues to improve over time.
• The thermal energy in deep layers of the skin stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten sagging, improve skin firmness and elasticity, and reduce fine lines to give you a more youthful and natural appearance.
• Fine needles work to improve scar texture and stimulate collagen reformation, which leads to smoother skin and a noticeable reduction in acne scars.
• The device helps reduce the size of large pores and improve pigmentation, and also helps smooth rough and uneven skin, which gives you clearer and more even skin.
• The device works to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds (smile lines) and reduce puffiness and fine lines under the eyes thanks to its high precision.

The Morpheus device is an ideal choice for all skin types, including sensitive, oily, and dry skin, and it is completely safe on different skin tones.

How many sessions do you need?

Usually 3 to 4 sessions are performed, after evaluating your skin condition and determining its needs by the specialist doctor. And in some cases that suffer from severe sagging or deep scars, the doctor may recommend more sessions.

The treatment is usually applied at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks between each session or depending on the case, to give the skin a chance to build collagen and get the best possible results.

When do Morpheus device results appear?

Results appearance differs from person to person depending on skin condition and how it responds. And usually you notice slight improvement in skin freshness and texture after a few days from the first session.

As for the final and complete results, they usually appear after a few weeks from the last session, as the cycle of new collagen production is completed, so your skin becomes tight, smooth, and more vibrant.

Although the Morpheus device has many benefits, it may cause some side effects, which are usually temporary and disappear quickly. Among the most notable of these effects are:

Possible side effects of the Morpheus device

• Redness or mild swelling may appear in the treated areas, and usually disappears within a few hours.
• Simple bruises or slight bleeding may appear because of fine needles, especially if your skin is sensitive, but it disappears quickly, do not worry.
• You may feel itching or mild heat in the skin after the session, and this is a natural response to stimulating the skin with thermal energy.
• Small and simple scales may appear on the skin after the session, and it is preferable to leave them to fall off on their own without exfoliation to ensure the best result.

It is not recommended to use the Morpheus device in the following cases:
