drangelasturm.com/ -- At my Houston plastic surgery practice, more and more patients are asking about Morpheus8. Most people understandably become self-conscious about skin sagging and wrinkling as they get older. Unfortunately, it’s just a fact of life that our skin naturally loses its firmness and elasticity as we age. For many patients, even top-of-the-line creams, ointments, and solutions just aren’t cutting it anymore. Yet invasive surgery seems too extreme, expensive, or time-consuming.

The good news is that new non-surgical cosmetics technologies can now offer benefits similar to a facelift, without the high price tag or the recovery time. Morpheus8 is one of those treatments, and my patients have been consistently thrilled with the results. Morpheus8 can help lift, plump, and tighten sagging skin. It can also help address many other problems like scarring, acne, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, and stretch marks.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a treatment that combines microneedling technology with radiofrequency therapy to stimulate natural collagen production, reduce excess adipose (fat) tissue, and help resurface the skin. Morpheus8 can be used on the face, neck, and body to tighten and firm sagging or wrinkled problem areas. Unlike some non-surgical cosmetic technologies, Morpheus8 works well on all skin tones. The treatment is done in-office and usually takes between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated. There are no incisions, stitches, or operating rooms required.
Your provider will first numb your face with a topical anesthetic about an hour before your procedure to ensure that you are comfortable. They will then apply the Morpheus8 treatment to your treatment areas, usually as you lie in a reclining position. All surgeons are different, but after the procedure, I always apply a medical-grade hyaluronic acid solution and a broad-spectrum sunscreen, just to further enhance results and protect the healing skin.
I generally recommend that patients get about three consecutive Morpheus8 treatments to achieve the best possible initial results. After that, maintenance is usually done on an annual basis. But even just one treatment will create a noticeable difference. I also sometimes combine Morpheus8 with other treatments like FaceTite, topical exosomes, or platelet-rich plasma to further rejuvenate the skin for a radiant and youthful glow.
What does Morpheus8 treat?
Morpheus8 treats a number of common skin complaints:
Sagging skin on the lower face, or “jowls”underneath the chin and jaw
Lines, wrinkles, and creases on the lower face and neck
Loose or lax skin anywhere on the body, such as “bra rolls”
Sun-damaged skin
Active acne
Acne scars, injury scars, or post-operative scars
Hyperpigmentation or “age spots”
Stretch marks
Large pores
A dull or uneven complexion
How much does Morpheus8 treatment cost?
The cost of Morpheus8 will depend on how many areas you have treated, what part of the country you live in, and the expertise level of your practitioner. Your surgeon or doctor will give you a more precise estimate at your initial consultation. But generally speaking, a full-face Morpheus8 treatment costs anywhere from $700 - $1,500. So even if you require three consecutive treatments to achieve the desired results, you’re still paying only a fraction of the price of a face lift, with none of the recovery time. And if you are only having certain target areas addressed, the cost may be much lower than the above estimate.
