Morpheus8 Skin Tightening
What Is Morpheus8?
After many years of sun exposure, our skin’s texture and firmness change. Fortunately, there is something that can be done to improve our skin’s appearance, by decreasing signs of sun damage and expression lines.
Morpheus8 is an FDA-approved device for dermal and subdermal remodeling. It uses small pins and radiofrequency to improve facial and body areas. This technology activates an inflammatory response and the healing process stimulates collagen and elastin, decreasing wrinkles and improving tightness of the skin in the face, neck, and body. Using different types of energy can also help with acne, enlarged pores, scars, cellulitis, and stretch marks. This non-surgical technology uses topical anesthesia causing there to be no downtime for work and after every treatment, you can continue your regular activities at home.

Morpheus8 can help treat all of the following:
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, and increase collagen production. Series of 3 treatments.
