Do you want smoother, tighter skin without extensive downtime or surgery? Morpheus8’s new fractional radiofrequency therapy may be the ideal solution for nearly any facial skin concern.

What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a new technology that combines the benefits of micro-needling and radiofrequency energy for increased collagen and elastin stimulation. Safe for all skin types, It distributes radiofrequency (RF) energy through tiny needles on the device that fractionally create channels up to 8 millimeters deep in the skin.

Both the microchanneling of the skin and the radiofrequency energy work to stimulate the deep layers of the dermis, encouraging collagen and elastin production for long-lasting skin tightening and anti-aging benefits.

What Can Morpheus8 Treat?

Morpheus is capable of treating both specific skin concerns such as wrinkles and scarring as well as providing an overall enhancement in skin appearance. Concerns in the face, neck, and chest that can benefit from Morpheus8 include:

• Fine Lines and Wrinkles
• Large Pores
• Rough or Uneven Skin Texture
• Acne
• Scarring
• Loose Skin
• Stretch Marks
• Small Blood Capillaries
• Crepey Skin

Before Your Morpheus8 Procedure 

Proper preparation helps ensure safe and effective results. Dr. Colony will provide personalized pre-treatment instructions, including avoiding activities like tanning, smoking, or using specific skincare products and medications. Following these guidelines is essential to prevent complications and achieve the best outcomes. Patients are also encouraged to maintain healthy skin practices leading up to their session, such as staying hydrated and following a gentle skincare routine. 

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Colony was so kind to me when I asked him all my questions about wanting surgery. He did not rush and made me feel like I mattered. He is very knowledgeable. I can hardly wait to get my surgery done by him!

Dr. Colony did AMAZING work!!!! I could NOT be happier with my results. I am 6wks post op breast augmentation and I am completely 150% satisfied. I spent 2hrs asking questions in my consultation. He answered every single one of them. The procedure went perfectly and great CRNA and staffing. Great pre/post-op packet given before surgery. Am sooooo pleased with my results!! Couldn't be happier!! Would recommend to everyone, tell everyone about Dr. Colony!!

Was very cautious, and thought long and hard about whether I should or shouldn't. Awesome decision. Should have done it a long time ago. A great accomplishment that couldn't have been done without the help of Dr. Colony and his awesome team. If you're living a minute with any self-doubt or low self-esteem about a certain body part, put your Nikes on and JUST DO IT!

During Your Morpheus8 Procedure 

Each Morpheus8 session begins with the application of a topical anesthetic, which remains on the treatment area for 30 minutes to ensure patient comfortability. Dr. Colony or a trained nurse will use the Morpheus8 handpiece, making multiple passes over the targeted areas as needed. Some patients may experience a mild tingling or burning sensation during the procedure, which can linger briefly after the session. However, the process is designed to be minimally invasive, and patients can typically resume normal activities immediately after. 

After Your Morpheus8 Procedure 

Following treatment, patients may experience redness and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn lasting one to three days. The skin may also peel or crust over the next few days, which is part of the natural healing process. Michigan Plastic Surgery® provides Aquaphor to help soothe and protect the skin for the first two days, after which patients can switch to a gentle moisturizer. Patients should avoid sun exposure, excessive heat, and picking at the skin to prevent complications and promote healing. 

What to Expect for Your Morpheus8 Results 

Most patients notice visible skin improvements about three to four weeks after their final session, with results continuing to improve for up to three months. This gradual enhancement is due to increased collagen production stimulated by the treatment. For optimal results, patients typically undergo a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. With proper aftercare, including high-SPF sunscreen and a healthy skincare routine, results can last several months, leaving the skin feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and naturally enhanced.
