Skin that once felt firm, smooth, and resilient can change with age, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, or past inflammation. The resulting fine lines, laxity, and texture can leave your skin looking out of step with how you feel.
For patients looking into radiofrequency (RF) microneedling in Westlake, Morpheus8 offers a deeper approach to skin renewal.
This treatment pairs microneedling with radiofrequency energy to encourage collagen and elastin production from within.
Read on to learn what you can expect from treatment at The Well Westlake, or schedule a consultation to plan your next steps with one of our providers.
Priming Your Skin for Morpheus8
Thoughtful preparation keeps your skin calmer on treatment day. Your provider’s pre-care instructions might include:
- Avoid waxing, exfoliating, and other skin-irritating procedures before treatment.
- Shave the area about 24 hours before your appointment, if directed.
- Drink plenty of water the day before and the morning of treatment.
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, perfume, or oils.
By making these simple adaptations to your usual routine, you lay a healthy foundation for your skin treatment.
The Morpheus8 Microneedling Process
At The Well Westlake, we can use proven Morpheus8 technology to treat concerns on the face and body, including:
- Fine lines
- Skin laxity
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Rough texture
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
The device uses microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF heat into deeper tissue. This dual technology triggers natural cell regeneration and collagen remodeling.
To begin treatment, your provider cleanses the skin, applies a topical numbing gel, and then passes the applicator across the treatment area. What does RF microneedling feel like? Most patients feel pressure, heat, and a quick stamping sensation.
The face applicator features 24 ultra-fine needles, while the body applicator uses 40 needles to treat broader areas. Depending on the selected treatment style and area, Morpheus8 can reach depths up to 7mm.
You might notice initial redness, swelling, or pinpoint marks after treatment. These effects subside in the following days. As your collagen and elastin production increases over the next few months, you can expect noticeably plumper, tighter skin that reflects your youthful spirit.
Maintaining Your Refined Results
Intentional after-care protects your skin while cell turnover accelerates and collagen renewal begins. We typically recommend the following post-care steps:
- If your skin feels warm, use a fan to cool off.
- Refrain from touching or applying products to the treated area for the rest of the day.
- Resume skincare, exercise, and makeup only when your provider clears them.
- Schedule maintenance treatments as recommended, often after your initial series.
Thoughtfully Guided Care
Morpheus8 works best when skilled practitioners match the treatment depth, energy, and technique to your anatomy.
Just listen to Emily W.’s positive experience with our microneedling providers:
“I had a Morpheus treatment at the suggestion of Dr. G, and it was the best decision I have made for my skin in ages. My skin feels and looks 10 years younger, and I no longer need to use any foundation or concealer.”
