Morpheus8 RF Microneedling Vs. Traditional Microneedling

“Dr. Karishma Aesthetics is committed to advancing patient care and optimal results with cutting-edge techniques and technologies, redefining the skin rejuvenation treatment with Morpheus8!”

Collagen and elastin are two building block proteins, a major structural component of skin responsible for maintaining the structure and elasticity of the skin. As we age, our body produces less collagen, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, loss of facial volume, and saggy skin. However, incorporating such treatments should be an integral part of our skincare rituals, which help accelerate skin rejuvenation. 

What are Traditional Microneedling and Morpheus8 Radiofrequency Treatment?

Micro-skin needling is the advanced procedure to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin by accelerating the body’s natural healing response.

In the traditional microneedling technique, an expert plastic surgeon uses a needle-tipped device to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries accelerate the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin protein production in the skin. However, the skin’s renewal process gets enhanced.

Morpheus8 radio frequency (RF) microneedling, on the other hand, a skin rejuvenation treatment, is a step ahead of traditional micro-needling technique, integrating radiofrequency energy, which helps produce more controlled punctures that amplify the body’s natural healing response. In addition, the heat from RF immediately contracts collagen, creating a prompter skin-tightening effect. The increased collagen and elastin production improves the signs of aging. Morpheus8 RF micro-needling technique enhances skin texture, tone, and overall skin appearance while tightening the skin for more comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Key Differences between Traditional Microneedling and Morpheus8 RF Microneedling:

Traditional microneedling and morpheus8 are both used for skin rejuvenation, revitalizing skin by addressing signs of aging and improving skin tone and texture. However, the notable differences between them are their treatment modalities and levels of results.

1.    Treatment depth: Morpheus8 radiofrequency micro-needling can penetrate deeper into the skin compared to traditional microneedling, as the gold-plated microneedle device of morpheus8 delivers RF energy at different depths with a single pulse to improve the skin appearance and contour.

2.    Collagen and elastin production: Both microneedling methods induce collagen and elastin production. However, the results of morpheus8 are quicker and more dramatic, as RF energy significantly improves the acceleration process by targeting the deep underlying layers of skin.

3.    Versatility: Morpheus8 is an advanced version of the skin rejuvenation technique, which immediately helps improve deep wrinkles, scarring, saggy skin, and cellulite. On the other hand, the traditional microneedling technique usually takes a longer treatment series to address these concerns. So, the desired levels of results are time-consuming and costly with traditional microneedling.

4.    Downtime: Traditional microneedling and morpheus8 are both minimally invasive procedures; the healing time is generally shorter. However, swelling and redness (similar to mild sunburn) are common and short-lived with either treatment. Still, more dedicated post-procedure guidelines are required with morpheus8 because it causes deeper penetration, giving prompt effect, and so recovery measures should be well-communicated with the patients.

Is Morpheus8 better than traditional microneedling?

Both treatments have their merit in terms of improving skin concerns. Traditional microneedling is superb for improving the skin texture by addressing concerns such as scarring, fine lines, and enlarged pores. But Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge technique to improve deeper skin concerns and give more significant skin-tightening benefits with a contouring effect.

To determine which treatment option would be the right option for your skin concern, Kesthetics invites you to schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Karishma Kagodu, a highly experienced plastic surgeon in Bangalore for both treatments and have an in-depth knowledge of skin’s anatomy and physiology.

Are Morpheus8 RF Microneedling and Traditional Microneedling safe?

Traditional and morpheus8 are proven microneedling techniques to improve skin tone, texture, and appearance. It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, and dryness after your microneedling, which heals in a few days. However, the post-procedure guidelines, such as avoiding sun exposure, heat exposure, harsh chemicals, touching, picking, or exfoliating the skin, should be followed as recommended by the plastic surgeon. It is part of your consultation process to thoroughly assess your skin to determine whether you are a good candidate or safely receive the optimal results with either treatment. Many patients are good candidates for microneedling, but if you have severe skin concerns, such as facial and body scars, pigmentation, open pores, acne marks, saggy skin, localized fat deposits, or noticeable signs of aging, Dr. Karishma will perform Morpheus8 treatment to help achieve your skincare goals.
