This skin on your face is extra special- it sees the most sun yet is the most delicate. Despite our best efforts, our faces age with time and out pores are the foundation of health. Addressing the needs of your pores specifically will help not only maintain your youthful glow, but also help to turn back those hands of time.
Reducing the size of your pores can be done to achieve a smooth skin texture while maintaining the health. One of our favorite treatments for reducing pore size is called Morpheus8. This treatment is quick to do in office and produces some of the most amazing, long lasting results. Your face will become smoother while glowing from within!
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractional treatment that penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Morpheus8 treatments combine microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face and it can also be used on the body. You will find that the most noticeable results will occur over time- typically after three weeks. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment due to the body producing more collagen in the treated area.
Morpheus8 is actually a device that combines those microneedling with radiofrequency technology for fractional resurfacing that stimulates collagen production. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, the building blocks will reorganize themselves in a natural anti-aging process. There is little to no damage to the dermis and this procedure provides an extremely uniform effect.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a scientifically proven method to reduce wrinkles and rebuild collagen. During the procedure, we insert a matrix of micro pins to renew deeper layers of the skin. These pins are completely sterile and very tiny- think of this like a little prick in a uniform pattern sequence like a grid. The tiny pricks cause the body to produce more collagen in the area than before. This collagen plumps up the skin causing the pores to shrink in appearance while also smoothing out fine lines.
What is radiofrequency?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy heats the deep layers of the skin in a controlled manner to revitalize the collagen. By heating up the skin at this deeper level, helps to speed up cell turnover while encouraging elastin and collagen production. This part of the treatment helps to improve skin complexion and texture for a more radiant and youthful appearance.
By combining two powerful anti-aging treatments into one device, Morpheus8 has a powerful impact in a shorter amount of time. Check out some of these before and afters:
