Microneedling with RF (Morpheus8 Burst)

arrow down

Luminous Flintridge offers enhanced microneedling with radio frequency (RF) energy through Morpheus8. Morpheus8 treats various skin concerns improving collagen growth, skin smoothness, reduced redness, and overall skin tightening. As Morpheus8 can help reduce redness and inflammation in the skin, it may improve conditions such as rosacea or sun damage.

Morpheus8 delivers RF energy deep into the skin through a matrix of microneedles. This RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin’s underlying structures. Also, by creating tiny punctures in the skin, Morpheus8 triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. The combination of RF energy and microneedling technology also may help to smooth out uneven skin texture, including acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough patches.

Morpheus8 is also an excellent option for addressing various skin concerns on the body, including stretch marks, scars, and uneven skin texture. Morpheus8’s combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy stimulates collagen production in the skin. Increased collagen helps to improve the elasticity and texture of the skin, reducing the appearance of stretch marks over time. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, Morpheus8 helps tighten and firm the skin around stretch marks, resulting in a smoother and more even appearance. The microneedling component of Morpheus8 helps break down scar tissue and stimulate cell turnover, leading to improved texture and reduced visibility of stretch marks.

By tightening the skin’s underlying structures, Morpheus8 can reduce the appearance of uneven skin texture and create a more uniform surface texture. Luminious Flintrdige Med Spa will be offering, as of July 15, 2024, InMode’s Morpheus8 2024 model. The newest model has improved the current procedure by reducing patient discomfort during the treatment and offering a new fat reduction method or under the chin fat.

Morpheus8 can be used to treat both facial and body areas, including:

  • Face (forehead, cheeks, chin, jawline)
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Arms
  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Buttocks

While Morpheus8 is generally safe when performed by a qualified provider, there are potential risks and side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, bruising, “grid mark,” hyperpigmentation, infection, sensitivity to sun, or discomfort.

PRP as an add on to Microneedling

Luminous Flintridge MedSpa is offering Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for various cosmetic and medical purposes, including treating under-eye hollows, stimulating hair growth, and as a supplemental treatment to microneedling for improving skin laxity, collagen growth, and fine lines. 

PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood plasma, making it a safe and natural treatment option with minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects. The plasma is rich in platelets, which contain growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. By using the patient’s own plasma, PRP harness the body’s natural healing abilities to promote rejuvenation and improve various skin and hair concerns. 

Here’s how PRP can benefit specific areas:

Under-eye hollows: PRP can help rejuvenate the under-eye area by promoting collagen production and improving skin texture and thickness. The growth factors present in PRP can stimulate tissue regeneration, reducing the appearance of hollows and dark circles under the eyes.

Supplemental treatment to microneedling: Luminous Flintridge offers the use of PRP as an enhancement to Morpheus8 Face and Body and SkinPen or Evo microneedling treatments. When used in conjunction with microneedling, PRP can enhance the effects of the treatment. Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response. PRP, when applied topically or injected into the skin following microneedling, delivers growth factors directly to the treated area, accelerating the healing process, promoting collagen production, and improving skin laxity, texture, and fine lines.
