Traditional microneedling uses a hand-held device that creates tiny holes or channels in the superficial layers (dermis) of the skin, stimulating the body’s production of collagen and elastin. We fill the channels with nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C or even PRP. The end result is the reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring. While regular microneedling helps with certain concerns regarding skin texture, patients need several treatments to see results.

Radio frequency, or RF for short, is an energy that has been scientifically proven to increase collagen and elastin production. This energy is safe and effective for cosmetic improvements that include scar reduction and skin tightening.

The Morpheus8 in Cincinnati is a state-of-the-art treatment that combines microneedling with radio frequency. The RF energy delivers the thermal energy to the deeper layers of tissue via the adjustable microneedles. Therefore, both the epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (inner layer) of the skin are treated for maximum results. Morpheus8 in Cincinnati penetrates the skin deeper than other devices. Different Morpheus8 tips allow our providers to reach depths ranging from .5mm to 4mm. Our knowledgeable and experienced skincare experts will determine the best depth to optimize treatment. They will use variable depths depending on goals, skin type and area of treatment. Patients addressing areas on their body (stomach, legs, arms, etc.) will benefit from a deeper treatment than those treating their face and neck. Because Morpheus8 combines microneedling with heat, patients experience improved skin tightening and appearance. After Botox and filler, this is our most popular aesthetic treatment.

Morpheus8 is more advanced than earlier versions of RF microneedling (Fractora, Profound, Scarlet, Infini etc). Morpheus8 delivers the RF energy deeper (ranges from 1mm to 5 mm deep). The deeper you go, the more collagen formulation you can stimulate. This device allows your aesthetic specialist to to vary the depth of the treatment based on the area of the body that is being treated and the desired result.

Patients can expect continual improvements occur up to 3 months after treatment.

The risks of RF microneedling (Morpheus8) are rare. However, during the consultation process, our aesthetic specialists will review the remote complications of Morpheus8 including: bleeding, infection, bruising, uneven swelling or discoloration, allergic reaction to the anesthesia, and skin burns.

Microneedling is the treatment that uses tiny needles to penetrate the skin, creating tiny channels that nutrients or platelet rich plasma can be delivered to. Also, when the body heals these microscopic channels, it makes new collagen and elastin. Microneedling with RF is the next latest and greatest generation of microneedling. RF adds radio frequency-generated heat to the skin, which allows the treatment to tighten the skin and contour undesired fat.

At Amy Brenner MD & Associates, we go above and beyond to ensure your comfort during all of our aesthetic procedures. Most MediSpa only use topical numbing cream during their offered procedures. Besides topical numbing cream, we also offer patients ProNox^®. This is a self-delivery nitrous oxide system that significantly assists with any discomfort or anxiety you may have . The gas is completely out of your system after 10 minutes so you can safely drive and resume your normal activities after ProNox^® use. Most patients only feel a warming sensation from the RF and the feeling of the microneedles will be significantly reduced.

Side effects of Morpheus8 may include temporary redness and swelling. Most patients experience redness for 1-2 days. Rarely, the redness could last for up to 1 week. It is possible that some patients may experience temporary bruising. The microneedling aspect of treatment may leave tiny points on the skin that crust and flake off. In addition, occasionally a patient may report mild tenderness in the treated area.

Some patients may see an improvement in as little as one treatment. Most patients notice maximal results with a series of 3 treatments. We can make an accurate estimate of treatment outcome by observing the condition of your skin, including texture, tone, and laxity, during your consultation.
