Getting a toned, youthful, and sculpted body can be arduous, even for those who lead a healthy life and exercise regularly. While some may find options in invasive procedures such as liposuction or a surgical lift, not everyone may consider going under the knife. This is where Morpheus’s Body comes in the advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment.
Morpheus Body is an extension of Morpheus 8 technology, with special considerations for skin tightening, fat reduction, and contouring. This unique approach can produce amazing results for the non-surgical treatment of sagging skin, cellulite, and stubborn fat deposits.
What is Morpheus 8 Body?
It is an advanced fractional RF microneedling treatment that penetrates deep into the skin and fat layers to stimulate collagen production skin remodeling and fat reduction. Unlike its predecessor, Morpheus 8, which is essentially for facial rejuvenation, Morpheus 8 Body is meant for larger areas of the body, including:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Buttocks
- Knees
This minimally invasive treatment tightens sagging skin, improves body contours, and helps reshape and define areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
What is the Working Mechanism of the Morpheus 8 Body?
Morpheus 8 Body utilizes microneedling to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to subdermal layers. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production which will restore skin firmness; remodel fat by breaking and redistributing fat cells; and tighten and smoothen for better shape enhancement of the body.
Unlike conventional RF microneedling, which has shorter needles, Morpheus Body needles are longer to penetrate deep into the skin, making it an excellent option when treating thicker skin and fat areas.
What are the Key Benefits of Morpheus 8 for the Body?
1. Skin Tightening and Firming
Morpheus Body will stimulate collagen and elastin creation, tightening the skin, so it is very great for the treatment of sagging skin, which may be due to old age, weight loss, or pregnancy.
2. Fat Reduction/Body Contouring
A unique benefit of Morpheus 8 for the Body is that it helps in fat breakdown and in tightening skin at the same time. Therefore, it is a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction and is used to define the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
3. Smoothens Cellulite
Cellulite is perhaps one of the biggest problems for many when it comes to the thighs and buttocks. By deep RF energy penetration, Morpheus 8 Body helps minimize the appearance of cellulite, smoothing and firming the skin.
4. Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime
In contrast to surgical body contouring procedures, Morpheus Body offers minimal recovery. The majority of patients are able to resume their daily routines within days, with only mild swelling or redness that quickly dissipates.
5. Safe for All Skin Types
All skin tones can benefit from this treatment, unlike other laser procedures that have a higher risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin types. The adjustable depth settings allow for a tailored approach to each patient based on their own skin and body concerns.
Who is a Good Candidate for Morpheus 8 Body?
Morpheus Body is perfect for those who:
✔ Have loose skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, or buttocks.
✔ Would like to reduce stubborn fat pockets that don’t seem to melt away with diet and exercise.
✔ Are looking for a non-invasive alternative to liposuction or body lifting.
✔ Want to smoothen cellulite and enhance overall skin texture?
Morpheus Body is, however, not a weight-loss procedure. It works more efficiently in those patients who have either reached or are close to their ideal weight but would love a procedure to refine and contour smaller areas.
What to Expect During a Morpheus 8 Body Session?
1. Consultation and Preparation
Before Morpheus body treatment, a consultation needs to take place with a qualified practitioner. The body goals, skin state, and medical history of the patient are assessed to outline the best treatment plan.
Before the procedure:
- Topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- The treatment area is then cleansed and prepped to guarantee optimal results.
2. The Procedure
With the help of microneedles, controlled RF energy will be sent deep into the dermis and fat layers. Depending on the treatment area, the procedure lasts about 30-60 minutes.
Most patients feel mild discomfort, numbing cream having been used mitigated any pain felt.
3. Aftercare
After the procedure, patients may experience:
- Mild redness and swelling (which may subside in a few days).
- Tightness and slight sensitivity in the treated area.
- Gradual tightening and contouring of the treatment area for weeks thereafter.
Post-treatment care includes avoiding direct sun exposure and cold water in this area, as well as using only gentle skincare products.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most individuals will see visible results after conducting at least one session but might opt for 2-4 session treatments 4-6 weeks apart for optimal body contouring sessions.
The number of treatments will depend on the following:
✔ Severity of skin laxity
✔ Amount of fat reduction needed
✔ Personal aesthetic desires
How Long Do Morpheus 8 Body Results Last?
Morpheus 8 Body results last as collagen production continues post-treatment for some months. While the procedure reduces fat cells permanently, upholding results requires a healthy lifestyle and workout regimen.
Combining Treatments with Morpheus 8 Body
Some patients may combine other modalities with Morpheus Body for more rapid results. These include:
- CoolSculpting: For further fat reduction.
- Emsculpt: To improve muscle tone in treated areas.
- PRP Therapy: To assist with skin healing and regeneration.
This customized treatment can help maximize your results and get you closer to your ideal body shape.
Conclusion
Morpheus 8 Body is a cutting-edge, non-surgical approach to skin tightening, fat reduction, and body contouring. It can get rid of stubborn fat; enhance skin elasticity; and smoothen cellulite; all of the above, with great results, in the least possible time.
