As we age, our skin appears to be older, both from
the outside and deep down to the dermis. Apart from the thinner fat layer and
loose muscle, the bones have their structure changed.Ultrasound and radio frequency are
great choices for face lift without surgery or injection. One of the first
choices recommended by physicians are Morpheus8/ Thermage.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is today's deepest FDA-approved fractional technology where the
depth of fractional radio frequency is adjustable to fit the needs of
individuals. In this non-surgical lifting, energy is emitted into layers of
skin to stimulate the following procedures.
- Dermal Remodeling –
Dermal collagen is stimulated and remodeled
- Subdermal Adipose Remodeling (SAR) – Helps
shrinking the fat layer and fixes loose skin with no surgery required. Morpheus8
is the only available technology today that could emit energy deep down to the
SAR without causing them to look too skinny.
- Extracellular matrix (ECM) stimulates HA
creation process, rejuvenates aging skin, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles
With multi-layer technology, the
depth of laser emission could be adjusted to 2, 3, and 4 mm. (Dermis and fat
layer). Through coated pins, Morpheus8 delivers RF energy without causing
damaging heat to the epidermis. Instead, it stimulates collagen and elastin
fiber creation around the extracellular matrix which is mainly comprises of
hyaluronic acid that stimulates fibroblasts division and tightens the skin fat
layer.
