How Morpheus8® Can Help You Stay Young

We’ve been looking for the secret to eternal youth practically since the dawn of time. Explorers have crossed seas, researchers have conducted complicated experiments, and patients have undergone extensive procedures, all in the hopes of preserving youth. 

Kathleen J. Smith, MD, and our Dermatology Specialists of Atlanta team may not have found the answer to perpetual bloom, but we have the next best thing: Morpheus8®.

Here’s a closer look at how it works and how it can keep Father Time from stealing your youthful glow. 

Morpheus8: A veritable fountain of youth

Morpehus8 is one of our most popular anti-aging treatments for its cutting-edge technology and minimally invasive approach.  It’s one of the industry’s leading combo microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) devices that delivers fractional RF energy into the deepest layers of your skin.

The needles prick your skin, penetrating 4 millimeters into it and creating micro-injuries that kick-start your body’s natural wound response. As your body hurries to heal the micro-injuries, it produces essential skin proteins, such as collagen and elastin, and moisture-retaining factors, such as hyaluronic acid.

The RF component of Morpheus8 creates additional microscopic “damage,” which triggers an even more robust response from your body as it heals. The RF energy also helps to control post-procedure swelling and inflammation. Since we can customize the output, we can safely use Morpheus8 to treat virtually every skin type and tone.

Bonus: Morpheus8 treatments complement our other anti-aging treatments, such as Botox® and other neurotoxins, dermal fillers, acoustic waves treatment, hair loss treatment, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and CoolSculpting®.

We work closely with you to create a customized anti-aging treatment plan with the best procedures for your needs and concerns.

The ideal candidate

We recommend Morpheus8 treatments for a wide range of skin cancers. You’re likely a candidate if you have any of the following concerns:

• Skin laxity issues
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin texture
• Uneven skin tone
• Unwanted fat deposits
• Stretch marks
• Acne and surgical scars
• Hair loss
• Facial asymmetry

Morpheus8 goes beyond cosmetics and can reduce excessive sweating. It’s also a great option if you’re simply looking to rejuvenate your skin and/or prevent the signs of aging before they settle in.

What else can I do?

You’re a key player in keeping your skin looking young and healthy, and we want to help. In addition to our advanced treatments, we support you with the tools, strategies, and education necessary to support your skin’s long-term health. Here are some of our best recommendations.

One of the best things you can do is avoid sun damage. We strongly encourage all our patients to apply sunscreen daily; fortunately, many skincare products now come with SPF factors. 

Also, consider increasing your water intake to hydrate your skin and body. Eating a balanced diet is another excellent way to support every facet of your health, including your skin. 

We also encourage our patients to establish a solid skincare routine and manage stress as much as possible.

Finally, and most importantly, you should see us for regular maintenance appointments. Our team is standing by to create a treatment schedule that’s safe and effective and will keep you looking younger for longer.
