Understanding Morpheus8 and Traditional Microneedling

Microneedling is a widely used cosmetic treatment that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. However, not all microneedling treatments are the same. Morpheus8 is an advanced form of microneedling that incorporates radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation. Many patients wonder how it differs from traditional microneedling and which option provides the best results.

At Destiny Medspa in Williston, ND, Dr. John Clair, DO, provides Morpheus8 treatments to improve skin firmness and texture. As a board-certified internal medicine specialist and Fellow of the American College of Osteopathic Internists, Dr. Clair has advanced training in aesthetic medicine. His certifications in radiofrequency microneedling, dermal fillers, and IPL therapy allow him to offer customized skin rejuvenation plans tailored to each patient’s concerns.

Key Differences Between Morpheus8 and Traditional Microneedling

Both treatments improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity, but they differ in their approach and effectiveness:

• Technology Used: Traditional microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin to trigger collagen production. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, which penetrates deeper into the skin for enhanced tightening and remodeling.
• Depth of Treatment: While standard microneedling reaches the superficial layers of the skin, Morpheus8 targets subdermal layers for improved skin tightening and contouring.
• Collagen and Elastin Production: Morpheus8’s RF energy boosts collagen and elastin at a higher rate, making it effective for addressing sagging skin and deep wrinkles.
• Results Longevity: Patients who undergo Morpheus8 treatments experience long-lasting results, with improvements continuing for up to 18 months.
• Treatment Areas: While both treatments are beneficial for facial rejuvenation, Morpheus8 is also effective for treating the neck, abdomen, arms, and knees

Patients using Morpheus8 typically require three sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results, with continued improvements over the following months.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

Choosing between Morpheus8 and traditional microneedling depends on your skin goals:

• If you have mild skin texture issues, traditional microneedling may be effective.
• If you want significant skin tightening and contouring, Morpheus8’s RF energy delivers better results.
• For those with acne scars, deep wrinkles, or stretch marks, Morpheus8 provides more comprehensive skin remodeling.

A consultation with Dr. John Clair at Destiny Medspa can determine which treatment aligns best with your aesthetic goals.
