Morpheus8 BURST is an advanced version of the original Morpheus8 treatment, incorporating state-of-the-art burst technology to penetrate deeper layers of the skin for even more dramatic results. The treatment combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy, delivering precise bursts of RF energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, reduce skin laxity, and tighten both facial and body areas.

​

How Morpheus8 Burst Treatment Works:

​

1. Microneedling with Radiofrequency:

   • The treatment uses a specialized device that contains a matrix of tiny needles. These needles are inserted into the skin to create microscopic punctures (microneedling) while simultaneously emitting radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface.

   • The radiofrequency energy delivers heat deep into the dermis (the layer beneath the skin), stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins responsible for skin structure, elasticity, and firmness.

2. Burst Technology:

   • In the Morpheus8 Burst variation, the RF energy is delivered in bursts of higher intensity, allowing for deeper penetration and more dramatic results. This method is designed to target deeper layers of the skinand is particularly effective for treating more severe sagging, deeper wrinkles, and overall skin laxity.

   • The bursts of energy promote collagen remodeling, leading to improved skin tightness, texture, and a more youthful appearance.

3. Target Areas:

   • Facial Areas: Morpheus8 Burst is often used to treat areas such as the under-eye region, jawline, neck, forehead, and cheeks. It’s particularly effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and skin sagging.

   • Body Areas: It can also be used on body areas like the abdomen, thighs, and arms to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of stretch marks, cellulite, and mild sagging.

Benefits of Morpheus8 Burst Treatment:

​

• Skin Tightening: The RF energy stimulates collagen production, leading to tighter, firmer skin over time. This makes Morpheus8 Burst ideal for those looking to lift and tighten areas with mild to moderate sagging.

• Improved Skin Texture and Tone: The microneedling component helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and smooth out rough patches. It’s effective for reducing acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin tone.

• Collagen and Elastin Stimulation: As collagen and elastin are generated, the skin’s structural integrity is restored, leading to a more youthful appearance.

• Non-Surgical Alternative to Facelifts: Because of its ability to tighten skin and promote collagen growth, Morpheus8 Burst can be a great non-surgical alternative for people who want to avoid more invasive procedures like facelifts.

• Safe and Suitable for All Skin Types: Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin, which is often more challenging to treat with traditional lasers.

​

What Can Be Treated with Morpheus8 Burst?

​

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

• Skin Laxity: Sagging skin around the jawline, neck, and jowls.

• Acne Scars: Helps improve the appearance of pitted acne scars by stimulating collagen production in the dermis.

• Uneven Skin Tone: Morpheus8 can help even out hyperpigmentation and pigmentation irregularities.

• Stretch Marks and Cellulite: Especially on areas like the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks.

• General Skin Texture: Enhances the overall smoothness and tone of the skin.

​

Treatment Process:

1. Consultation: Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with a licensed provider to assess your skin concerns and determine if Morpheus8 Burst is right for you.

2. Topical Numbing Cream: A numbing cream is typically applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

3. Treatment Duration: The procedure typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

4. Post-Treatment Care: While there is minimal downtime, your skin may feel slightly red or swollen immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours.

​

​

Recovery and Results:

​

• Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment, although it’s recommended to avoid sun exposure and excessive heat for a few days.

• Post-Treatment Care: Your provider will likely recommend using a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen to protect the newly treated skin.

• Results: You may start to see improvement in skin texture, tone, and tightness after 1-2 weeks, but the full results typically appear over several months as collagen continues to rebuild. For optimal results, multiple sessions (usually 3-4) spaced 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended, especially for more significant concerns like sagging skin or deep wrinkles.

​

Who is a Good Candidate for Morpheus8 Burst?

​

• Individuals Seeking Non-Surgical Lifting: If you want to lift and tighten skin without undergoing surgery, Morpheus8 Burst is a great option.

• Those with Mild to Moderate Skin Laxity or Wrinkles: It’s ideal for individuals with mild to moderate skin sagging and fine lines.

• Those with Acne Scars: The microneedling component helps to reduce the appearance of acne scarring.

• All Skin Types: Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which may not be as well-suited for other laser treatments.

​

Is Morpheus8 Burst Safe?

​

Morpheus8 Burst is considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained and experienced provider. The microneedles and radiofrequency energy are carefully calibrated to ensure optimal results without causing damage to the skin. As with any procedure, it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best results and avoid potential side effects.
