About Morpheus8 IgniteRF

Morpheus8 IgniteRF is an advanced device that targets multiple layers of the skin through the combined use of radiofrequency energy and microneedling. When pressed against the skin, this handheld device uses microneedles to penetrate the surface of the skin, creating micro-injuries to help stimulate the body’s natural healing response while the radiofrequency energy heats the treatment area, further stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This treatment is known to be quite versatile and can be used on different areas of the face and body, such as the neck, arms, jaw, chin, and buttocks. ⁽¹⁾

Benefits

This cutting-edge treatment offers many benefits for patients through its combined use of radiofrequency technology and microneedling. The Morpheus8 IgniteRF can help stimulate collagen and elastin, improving the firmness, quality, and tone of the skin while reducing signs of visible aging, such as wrinkles, creases, and deep folds. This treatment can also help reduce acne scarring when applied to deeper layers of the skin. ⁽²⁾

This procedure is minimally invasive and offers minimal downtime, making it an ideal treatment for patients uninterested in a surgical procedure or for busier patients who may not have the time for a multi-week recovery. This treatment is safe for all skin types, offering a lower risk of hyperpigmentation for patients with darker skin tones. ⁽³⁾

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for the Morpheus8 IgniteRF treatment are those of all skin types experiencing concerns like mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging. Patients with acne scars, uneven skin texture, or uneven tone can benefit greatly from this treatment, as well as those interested in contouring their jawline, abdomen, neck, or thighs. All candidates interested in the Morpheus8 IgniteRF should be in good overall health with realistic expectations regarding their treatment.

Personal Consultation

The first step towards achieving a rejuvenated complexion is a personal consultation at one of our Southern California offices. At this consultation, one of our nurse injectors will conduct a comprehensive evaluation that details each patient’s medical history, experienced symptoms, and ideal outcome before examining the treatment area. This will help our team determine the best approach and strategy to help each patient revitalize their skin.

After establishing a treatment plan, the nurse injector will prepare a set of instructions for each patient on how to prepare for their procedure, as well as a set of detailed post-treatment instructions.

Preparation

In preparation for a Morpheus8 IgniteRF treatment, patients will receive a detailed set of instructions at their personal consultation. We recommend that patients follow all instructions for a successful treatment outcome. The use of tanning beds, as well as sun exposure, should be avoided for several weeks before this treatment. Patients should also cease the use of skin-irritating products or harsh skincare, such as retinol, exfoliants, and other skin irritants, several days before their appointment. On the day of the treatment, patients should arrive with a clean face, free of any makeup and skincare products.

Procedure

At the start of the procedure, the specialist will cleanse the treatment area before applying a topical anesthetic to help each patient feel more comfortable and relaxed throughout their treatment. A handheld device will be applied to the surface of each patient’s skin. This handheld device is equipped with adjustable microneedles to penetrate the skin. Your skin professional will place the handheld device over the treatment area, where radiofrequency energy is then delivered deep into the dermis. This process uses controlled heating to promote tissue regeneration, enhance circulation, and tighten the body’s collagen fibers, while the microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This can lead to an increase in the production of elastin and collagen, resulting in firmer, more youthful-appearing skin. The Morpheus8 IgniteRF can also effectively target fat cells when applied in deeper settings, leaving the body looking more contoured and tight. This treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes to perform, depending on the size of the treatment area and the conditions being addressed.

Recovery

Following their treatment, patients will be asked to follow any recovery instructions given by our team of specialists here at DermFx to ensure the most optimal results. We will provide specific instructions at each patient’s personal consultation.

Mild bruising, redness, and swelling may be experienced in treated areas, however, these effects gradually subside within 24-48 hours and you can alleviate them with over-the-counter medications. ⁽³⁾ Makeup should be avoided for the first 24-48 hours of healing as well as any scrubbing or picking at the skin. Intensive activities should be avoided, and patients should wear sun protection every day, even when they are not planning on being in the sun. ⁽³⁾

Results

The initial effects of the Morpheus8 IgniteRF can be seen several weeks following the initial treatment. Improvements to one’s skin texture, tightness, and overall quality are commonly reported. After several months, further results will develop as the collagen in the body is stimulated and produced. Patients will notice a decrease in visible signs of aging, such as facial wrinkles or creases, and targeted areas will appear to be more defined and contoured. Please note that patients may benefit from multiple sessions before seeing their ideal results, with results lasting between 12-18 months, depending on various external and lifestyle factors.

Corresponding Procedures

Many procedures can be performed alongside a Morpheus8 IgniteRF treatment to help further rejuvenate the skin and create a more youthful appearance.

Exosomes are an exciting new treatment to help repair and revitalize deeper levels of skin. Exosome therapy is a topical treatment that can help reduce visible skin concerns, such as hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores, in addition to maintaining and boosting the results of other procedures. Our Exosome therapy is also particularly beneficial for helping the skin heal after treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
