Is Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling Right for Me?
Most patients looking at Morpheus8 in Honolulu are between 30 and 55 years old and are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity (loose, sagging skin). It’s similar with lines and wrinkles. As a rule of thumb, you may need one treatment per decade of life to see the desired results.
The improvements achieved with RF microneedling generally last for one to three years. The length of time depends on your age, skin condition, sun exposure, and whether you smoke or drink alcohol. Your skin ages like other parts of your body but is more noticeable than other organs.
Morpheus8 is also ideal for people who want to improve their appearance but have yet to come to the point of needing plastic surgery. It’s also an excellent choice if you have concerns about several areas and want a single, non-surgical treatment to improve each of them.
Combining Non-Surgical Treatments and Morpheus8
Treatments with Morpheus8 alone may bring the desired results for many people. But for others, combining RF microneedling with other non-surgical cosmetic skin procedures can make a difference. As you work with Dr. Tan to develop your treatment plan, she will discuss all of your options.
- Works well before neuromodulators (Botox®)
- Works well before dermal fillers
Another important advantage of Morpheus8 for Honolulu residents is the longer-lasting results it produces compared to other methods. Because it remodels the body’s natural tissue, the changes are deeper than other options that work more on the skin’s surface. With treatments, you’re stimulating your body to produce collagen and elastin naturally, both of which contribute to a youthful appearance.
After Treatment: What to Expect
Besides their excellent results, patients like non-surgical cosmetic skin treatments for reduced downtime. Any recovery after-effects from Morpheus8 in Hawaii patients generally resolve in about a week and maybe less.
Immediately after treatment, you may experience tender, red skin that feels tight. For some patients, there is some swelling, and it’s possible peeling or flaking may occur. All will clear up in a week or so.
It’s helpful to sleep with your head elevated for several days to help reduce swelling and redness. Keeping the skin well hydrated; therefore, avoid alcohol and smoking after a treatment.
