The passage of time brings many changes to your skin. With age, your body begins producing less elastin and collagen, the structural proteins that give it the firmness, elasticity, and smoothness associated with youth. The loss of collagen can result in sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture.
Although nothing can stop aging, many non-surgical skin procedures can restore smooth, youthful skin. With Morpheus8 microneedling in Parker County, you can turn back the clock and experience rejuvenated and refreshed skin.
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including depressions from scarring, enlarged pores, wrinkles, and stretch marks. The procedure is administered using a handheld, electrically powered device with tiny needles that make precise punctures in the skin.
These intentional micro-injuries stimulate the deep tissue to repair, remodel, and increase the production of collagen without leaving scars. Morpheus8 microneedling in Parker County stimulates a natural skin-tightening process using fractionated radiofrequency with the treatment.
Morpheus8 is a full-body, non-surgical anti-aging tool that triggers your body to produce more of the building blocks that create youthful-looking skin. The patented Morpheus 8 microneedling device penetrates radiofrequency energy deep into the skin and fat tissue to trigger the production of collagen and help with superficial fat reduction.
There is little to no damage done to the epidermis, which is the skin that you can see, and the process can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, legs, under the arms, and abdomen.
Because of the patented technology, the process is safe to use on all skin types, even sensitive ones. The procedure works well for people who are older and would like subtle anti-aging results that improve over time rather than an invasive surgical procedure that produces immediate and dramatic results. Most patients will see results after their first treatment, but optimal results typically happen after three sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
You will continue to see improvements in skin tone and texture, as well as a reduction in lines and wrinkles, for up to 3 months after your last treatment. Ideal candidates are those who are beginning to see the early signs of aging and would like to prevent the development of sagging skin.
The best candidates also do not smoke or are willing to give up smoking, tobacco, and nicotine products such as vapes, patches, and nicotine gum. Nicotine impairs the production of collagen and speeds up the visible signs of aging, and any nicotine delivery system will slow the production of collagen.
During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to make the process more comfortable. Dr. Steele offers ProNox nitrous oxide as well to help minimize any discomfort during the procedure. Morpheus8 microneedling in Parker County can be combined with other treatments. This impacts the length of time needed for recovery, depending on what other treatment is used.
After the treatment, it is important to avoid touching your face or applying any creams for the first 12 hours. Aesthetician Jennifer Geyer will give you instructions on when to begin moisturizing the treatment area with a highly hydrating cream. It is also important to avoid direct sun exposure during healing and to use SPF 30 sunscreen any time you are in the sun, to protect the results.
When Morpheus8 is the only treatment received, most people can use makeup within the first two days but may experience some mild redness, sensitivity, and swelling that may take up to a week to resolve.
This unique and powerful anti-aging tool produces dramatic results over several months, so you have more natural-looking results without an invasive surgical procedure. Call our office today to schedule a consultation for Morpheus8 microneedling in Parker County.
