Before & Afters
Morpheus is color-blind, which means that it can provide benefit for all patients including patients with darker skin tones and all ethnicities of skin.
How does Morpheus work?
Morepheus uses micropins (microneedling) to create tiny puncture wounds in the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, which results in the regeneration of the skin. .
Because the microneedling is delivered in a fractional manner, normal skin is undisturbed, which also reduces the healing time.
Morpheus will begin to work after your very first session and continues to work for weeks afterwards, as collagen is being stimulated. For maximal benefit a minimum of 3 tretments are performed at 4-6 week intervals. Maxima improvement is seen at 3 months.

How many treatments will you need?
The number of treatments needed depends on each individuals’ skin quality and texture. Optimally, each treatment would be spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, and the best results can be achieved after 3 treatment sessions. Like all skin treatments, the maintenance schedule depends upon your level of ongoing sun exposure, age, activity level, and genetic factors.
