MORPHEUS8

When it comes to skin rejuvenation, there’s microneedling, and then there’s Morpheus8! At Portland’s Fresh Faces Rx, we offer this innovative treatment for reducing the appearance of age lines, tightening skin laxity, and generating a beautiful overall glow.

With its innovative blend of microneedling and radiofrequency technology, Morpheus8 has gained significant attention as an effective skin-tightening strategy. Keep in mind that achieving the best possible natural-looking outcomes with Morpheus8 is significantly tied to the provider’s skill set. At Fresh Faces Rx, every member of our team is either a physician or is overseen and has been directly trained by a physician. We believe in the power of science-backed treatments applied with skill and care to make a difference in our patients’ lives!

Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge skin treatment device that pairs microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dynamic duo stimulates collagen production in deeper layers of the skin, leading to a tighter, smoother, and rejuvenated look. How? Tiny needles make channels in the skin, which natural processes then start to repair. As the channels are closed with new collagen and other healthy elements, the skin around each channel also improves in appearance and texture. Each needle also serves as an RF delivery device, sending the energy deeper into the skin, where it generates beneficial heat. This further promotes collagen production, skin tightening, and other changes that result in a rejuvenated appearance.

Beneficial for both superficial and deeper layers of skin, Morpheus8 has quickly become a preferred solution for women and men seeking a youthful and revitalized appearance.

Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment capable of addressing multiple concerns, including skin laxity or sagging, wrinkles and age lines, and enlarged pores. It’s also used for improving the skin’s overall texture and tone and reducing the appearance of scars or acne marks.

Remember: Consulting with experienced medical providers is crucial in order to be sure that this is the right treatment option for you—and that it is being applied properly to maximize safety and results.

Before deciding on Morpheus8, you will meet with a member of the Fresh Faces Rx team for a comprehensive consultation. Once we have listened to your cosmetic concerns and examined your skin, we will recommend a treatment or combination of treatments.

The Morpheus procedure itself typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes. The device is equipped with technology to reduce discomfort and maximize safety, and we will also work with you to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Expect to feel pressure, a “buzzing” or stamping sensation, and heat throughout the session. We offer a medical-grade topical numbing option for comfort, as well as ProNox (a patient-managed inhaled nitrous oxide delivery system) and injectable numbing to make the process as comfortable as possible. We can also schedule injectable numbing strategies, such as nerve blocks before the appointment, for anyone worried about pain.
