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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Is Liposuction Safe? How to Reduce the Risks/ Side Effects
“Liposuction or body contouring, a medically-approved, popular cosmetic surgery that removes unwanted fat from the body, should only be performed by a licensed cosmetic surgeon in an appropriate setting!”
In 2023, more than 2.2 million liposuction surgeries were performed globally, and the number of surgeries performed in India has increased annually. A report based on plastic surgeries in India suggests that tens of thousands of liposuction surgeries are conducted each year. The data clearly shows how popular body contouring surgery is, and the demands are increasing globally. However, knowing what factors should be considered when looking for a safe liposuction surgery is also important. Of course, the procedure is medically approved, except for some side effects, such as pain, swelling, bruising, soreness, and numbness; liposuction effects are remarkable with the desired silhouette or glass figure.
The expert hand of an experienced plastic surgeon with board certification, an accredited clinic/ hospital, and the use of cutting-edge technologies are some of the essential factors that ensure a safe practice. However, knowing your plastic surgeon, the cosmetic center for liposuction near you, and some research and development work while proceeding for in-person consultation is inevitable.
This article will help you consider the prime factors responsible for a safe liposuction surgery, delving deeper clears your doubts and helps you make the right decision.

1. The expert plastic surgeon

Expertise in a specific surgery means the credentials earned by offering good results. Going through the after-and-before photographs displayed in our gallery section will help you understand the procedure and development.

The following factors can determine the expertise of a plastic surgeon:

The training and hands-on practice experiences in performing liposuction surgeries with advanced technologies, such as VASER 4D body sculpting, LASER, or power-assisted liposuction
The active membership from the recognized plastic surgery societies, i.e., ISAPS, APSI, IAAPS, etc.
A good number of after-and-before photographs and happily satisfied patients’ feedback can be checked through vising the respective website.

2. The Use of advanced technologies

Only a board-certified plastic surgeon trained in advanced liposuction techniques should perform VASER 4D sculpting. VASER 4D liposuction helps improve results with skin tightening benefits, enhancing the sculpting effect, and reducing downtime and unwanted post-op side effects. VASER lipo uses ultrasound waves to precisely remove fat without affecting the nearby tissues. However, minor incisions are enough to eliminate the fat, resulting in less bleeding, bruising, and scarring than conventional liposuction.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu Debunking Top 4 Skincare Myths

Are you guilty of believing cosmetic treatment myths that prevent you from making the right decision?

If you want to start a healthy skincare regimen and learn the facts about aging, volume loss, Botox, or laser hair removal, then clicking this article online is the right thing to do today.
From Botox treatment to full body laser hair removal and acne scar treatment to wearing sunscreen, there are a huge number of videos/ reels circulating online that do not give the correct information. Hence, posting relevant, informative videos from skincare experts is quintessential these days, clarifying things with every pro and con. At the same time, reading quality content approved by a certified cosmetic surgeon/ dermatologist is necessary if someone wants to incorporate a healthy skincare regimen into their everyday life.
As a board-certified cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Karishma Kagodu frequently encounters common skincare myths that can mislead patients. To empower those seeking effective and medically approved treatments for clear, glowing, and youthful skin, Dr. Kagodu decided to document the facts. With her expertise, you can confidently pursue safe, result-proven, and FDA-approved cosmetic treatment options for your skin health.

Myth 1: Botox Makes You Look Paralyzed/ Frozen

Botox (the brand name of the botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes/relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles on your face. However, the science behind Botox is to relax the muscles at the injection point by blocking signals from the nerves in your muscles to your brain, resulting in relaxed muscles that cannot contract, significantly softening wrinkles, and slightly lifting the eyebrows simultaneously. However, many people have misconceptions that Botox can cause restrictive facial movements or they may have limited facial expressions. Fortunately, Botox has a key role in removing the noticeable signs of aging, effectively minimizing static wrinkles, and preventing new ones from developing. With a board-certified, skilled injector you will still be able to see the entire range of facial expressions, including smiling, frowning, and appearing surprising.

Myth 2: Once you start Botox, you cannot stop

Once a patient starts Botox treatment, it stops the aging process because you do not make those expressions causing repetitive movement that helps drive the wrinkles. You can age even better after the Botox treatment because you will learn other movements and not do those movements so much over time. The revision session is required as instructed by your cosmetic surgeon based on your aging and skin anatomy. But if you stop Botox, the aging process will be the same, and now you can learn certain motions that make aging more prominent. Most of our patients who do Botox regularly age well, but even those who stop do just fine, as there is no dependence on the treatment.

Myth 3: Laser hair removal does not work on certain skin tones/ hair colors

After the first laser hair removal treatment, one can expect 10-25% of hair reduction. Most patients require 3-7 treatment sessions to obliterate unwanted hair. After finishing all the required hair removal sessions, most patients do not see any hair growth in treated areas for several months or even years. Regarding certain skin tones and hair colors, laser hair removal treatment works great for light skin and dark-colored hair, but cutting-edge laser technology is perfect for treating all skin types and tones.
Diode laser penetrates deeper under the skin and perfectly removes hair for patients with lighter skin tones, but at the same time, it can be used in coarse and dark skin tones, added Dr. Karishma.

Myth 4: Fat grafting makes people look fat

The fat grafting process involves the transfer of fat from the patient’s body where excess fat accumulation zones, such as thighs, buttocks, lower back, flanks, or abdomen, serve as donor areas, and the recipients are where fat is needed to be transplanted. However, the fat grafting process can perfectly address the facial fat volume loss that indicates aging. A medically approved, natural anti-aging technique that gives natural effects with no side effects. Only a skilled plastic surgeon with ample experience in facial fat grafting can give you the best contouring results. Micro-fat grafting is often performed in conjugation with a facelift, giving total facial rejuvenation. The skin has no significant sagging; fat grafting alone is enough to fulfill the volume loss. To achieve the desired rejuvenation effect, fat must be placed in the areas of deficiencies with appropriate amounts, making the face more youthful. However, fat grafting can make the face look fresher, not fat.

How Bangalore Plastic Surgeon Dr Karishma is Redefining Beauty

Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, is performed to change the shape, size, and contour of the nose in a way that should be aesthetically pleasing and improve functional qualities. However, the procedure requires significant mastery from a plastic surgeon, as even a minor tweak can cause compromised results. The more a plastic surgeon performs rhinoplasty cases in their career more proficient they are, or they truly appreciate their skills to deliver unmatched results.

How is Rhinoplasty the combination of art and science?

Rhinoplasty is more than plastic surgery because it improves one’s facial appearance by enhancing the nose’s structure and functions. When a nose job is performed to correct a nose’s shape, size, and proportion, it is done for a cosmetic purpose, meaning enhancing beauty. When a rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is required to correct the breathing difficulties either caused by a birth defect (deviated septum), accidental injuries, or trauma, the procedure has medical benefits. However, the dual importance set the procedure at the top of the cosmetic surgery faculty.

How rhinoplasty is an art can be understood by the following aspects:

Firstly, “reshaping a face has more to do with artistic sense than science. The nose’s shape changes over time with age, and predicting its shape years in the future is more about artistic intelligence than science. But the scientific part is equally important because precision in surgical fineness is the next most important priority to match the artistic results, added Dr. Karishma Kagodu”. However, a surgeon must first have the technical understanding and education and then an aesthetic sense and highly trained hand play a pivotal role to meet the best outcomes possible.
The best rhinoplasty surgeon in Bangalore knows that preserving a patient’s beauty and appearance is important while performing a nose job to alter the shape and size. The artistic sense allows the transformation to be more natural-looking. Only an expert facial plastic surgeon knows what alteration is required at what level and what to leave alone. Thus, skills and techniques are equally important for performing a successful rhinoplasty.

Creating facial symmetry, balance, and proportion

The artistic aspect of a nose job centrally focused on creating an overall facial harmony by adjusting nasal shape, size, and proportion. However, correcting a nasal contour in such a way so that it gets perfectly matched to other facial features.

Proportional balance

One essential aspect of a nose job is its aesthetic balance in every dimension, meaning understanding the correct proportion and a nose must have a balanced feature in shape, size, and overall proportion. A nose that is excessive in any element (too wide, small, or large) provides an uneven look that must be addressed with a rhinoplasty.

The Illusion of Perfection

ymmetrical features weigh more importance when it concerns nose jobs, as even a minor tweak can make a symmetrical difference and impact an overall facial appearance. However, perfect symmetry is extremely rare, but the best rhinoplasty surgeon in Bangalore addresses structural deviations and nose asymmetry for a more harmonious facial appearance.

Surgical precision is extremely important to meet the desired results

The science of nose job surgery opens the discussion of how the procedure impacts the aesthetic touch while correcting structural abnormalities. A nose job corrects the nose’s bones and cartilage to improve its shape, size, contour, and functions. Even having mastery in a profession, achieving consistent results is often quite challenging. However, choosing an expert plastic surgeon with ample rhinoplasty experience can ensure aesthetic results. Moreover, the wide range of nasal appearances, ethnicity, and nose’s tendency to change shape over time requires in-depth surgical experiences with different patients to master the profession.

Rhinoplasty helps improve nasal functions

Rhinoplasty helps improve deviated septum, breathing difficulties, airflow, and quality of life. However, these medical benefits strengthen Rhinoplasty’s rhinoplasty’s role in enhancing physical health and self-confidence.

Sculpting your facial features

Rhinoplasty goes beyond improving the nasal shape, size, and proportion, as it significantly impacts the overall facial features. For example, rhinoplasty surgery accentuates additional features by making your eye position prominent or adding definition to your cheeks.
A nose job also helps balance out a chin projection or make the upper lip appear more proportional. Thus, a nose job enhances overall facial beauty and appearance more aesthetically.
