We are all looking to slow down the aging process, right? You can use all the SPF, Retinols, && products under the sun but aging is inevitable. Once we hit our mid-late 20’s we lose 1% of our collagen per year. DEPRESSING!! That adds up very quickly so if you know me then you know I’m ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS on the hunt for ways to keep my skin looking its best. WITH THAT BEING SAID…. DRUMROLL PLEASE!!! I recently tried Morpheus 8 && just finished my 4th treatment. Yes, I said 4th. They recommend 3 but I’ve always been an overachiever. I’m so excited to share it with you! In this post, I’ll explain the benefits of Morpheus 8 && share my experience. For my first 3 treatments I went to BeMediSpa in Lexington because there was no one in the area at that time. My 4th treatment was done locally at Symmetry Aesthetic Studio in Ashland, KY && I have to say it was very aesthetically pleasing. I’m also very happy I no longer have to drive 2 hours away!

What was the Morpheus8 Procedure like?

I arrived at the MediSpa with a bare face to save time. We applied numbing cream && I waited for 45 minutes for it to really kick in. (Okay, the first time I numbed for 25 min && that was definitely not long enough).

We wiped off the numbing cream and started the Morpheus8 treatment. I also had a suggestion for my nurse after having it done twice && I’ll pass that on to you - Only remove the numbing on the area they are working on at the time I found it much more tolerable on the first pass. A full pass on my face and neck took about 8 min… BUT… I did 3 passes. Prior to the procedure, we discussed problem areas && where I would like to have extra passes… I chose my whole face && neck. (Typical me).

Okay. Here is what you guys really want to know. THE PAIN. The first time I numbed for 25 min as previously stated. Just, no. I had tears running down the sides of my face on the first pass. During the second && third passes, I felt like I was damn near going to just pass out from holding my breath && bracing myself but I wasn’t going to tap out because that’s $1000 && I AINT NO BISHHH! The second session && numbing longer was most definitely more tolerable. I did realize that the painful places were where there was bone… Forehead, jawline, etc. The neck was not bad at all. Moving on to my fourth treatment. I felt like a pro && wanted to go out with a bang, so I asked to go to the max levels… UMMMM. Holy SH*T! I also wanted several treatments on my cheeks because god && my dad blessed me with some big ones && I read it melts fat. :/

*Note: If you have filler in your face it will melt it. They do not go over the lips… So they are safe. Over a year ago I had gotten filler under my eyes && I hated it! So I had her do some extra there to melt that away as well.

The aftermath. On my 4th treatment, I did bleed quite a bit but that’s because I pleaded for max depth. Three hours later my face was always like new. Glowing! They promised I was going to look 25 again by the following Monday!! Jkjk.

It is recommended to do yearly treatments for maintenance after your 3 initial treatments. I however am obsessed! I’m obsessed with my skin. I’ve never been one to wear makeup but I also get so many compliments on my skin. The tightness, pores, && texture!! It’s like the fountain of youth && I will ALWAYS KEEP THIS PROCEDURE IN MY BUDGET! I’ve given many things a shot during my anti-aging journey && I’m always going to be completely transparent && honest about what I feel works && doesn’t. It feels good to feel good about yourself && I promise you won’t regret it. && a huge shout out to Symmetry for taking good care of me!

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is micro-needling with radiofrequency. The radiofrequency triggers collagen and elastin production at a deeper level than microneedling can reach. The Morpheus8 has 24 gold-coated pins which penetrate into the dermis (the deepest layer of skin) and emit energy that causes thermal damage. This makes the tissue heat up and tighten/rejuvenate. The added heat promotes the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid at a much greater level than traditional microneedling. By reaching those deeper layers in the skin, it truly contours and transforms the skin. It provides results with little to no downtime and is safe for all skin tones.

Morpheus8 can help to:

Encourage collagen production
Smooth wrinkles & fine lines
Make pores smaller (by increasing collagen)
Improve texture
Reduce dark spots
Treat stretch marks
Improve the appearance of cellulite

What areas can you treat with Morpheus8?

Morpheus8’s most popular target area is the face, jowls, jawline, and the area below the chin. But it can also be used virtually anywhere on the body, including the face, arms, neck, and hands. It can even tighten loose skin on the inner and outer thighs, above the knees, and abdomen!

Who is Morpheus8 for?

Anyone with aging skin is a candidate. Whether you want it as a preventative measure to keep your skin as tight as possible, or you’re ready to treat your sagging skin, Morpheus8 will help you. It’s a subtle antiaging treatment with progressive results over time.

When you’ll see results from Morpheus8?

You may see results within weeks after your treatment but your results continue to appear up to 4 months after. It’s recommended to have at least 3 sessions spaced roughly 4 to 6 weeks apart to see full results. Then one a year to keep the results.
