About Morpheus8
Our faces experience internal factors such as genetics, and external factors such as sun damage that change our appearance. Skin sagging and the development of deeper wrinkles are common complaints. These issues can not only affect our looks but can also cause problems with self-esteem and confidence. Thankfully, there are now minimally-invasive options for facial rejuvenation that don’t involve surgical procedures, making the entire process easier for the patient from start to finish.
Morpheus8 is a state-of-the-art, minimally-invasive needling system for significantly improving signs of aging in the face, neck and other areas of the body.
It can be used to correct numerous problem areas, including the following.

How Does Advanced Radiofrequency Needling Work?
Microneedling is a well-established technique that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using fine needles. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen production and promoting healthy skin cell turnover. The addition of radiofrequency energy takes needling to the next level by delivering controlled heat deep into the dermal layer. This allows for precise targeting of the subdermal adipose tissue, which is responsible for sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
The Morpheus8 treatment works by utilizing slim insulated probes that penetrate the skin at varying depths, depending on the specific concerns being addressed. The radiofrequency energy is then delivered through these probes, heating the targeted tissues and stimulating collagen production from within. This deep tissue remodeling leads to significant improvements in skin laxity, texture, and overall appearance.
Patients who undergo Morpheus8 can expect to see noticeable improvements in their skin’s texture and tone. The treatment also promotes long-term collagen remodeling, which means that results continue to improve over time.

Morpheus8 Procedure
During your Morpheus8 treatment at Plastic Surgeons of Lexington, we will carefully customize the depth and intensity of the treatment based on your unique skin type and desired outcomes. (2) The procedure is performed using topical anesthesia or light sedation to make the treatment as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
During the Morpheus8 treatment, the needles penetrate the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural healing response. At the same time, the radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. This dual-action approach targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
Recovery & Results
After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild bruising in the treated areas. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. There is generally no downtime associated with Morpheus8, allowing you to resume your regular activities shortly after the treatment. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities or vigorous exercise until instructed otherwise by our experts.
Over time, as collagen production increases and skin regeneration occurs, you will notice gradual improvements in the firmness, smoothness, and overall quality of your skin. The results of Morpheus8 can be long-lasting, especially when combined with proper skincare maintenance and sun protection.
