Am I An Ideal Candidate For Morpheus8 For The Body?
If you struggle with cellulite, loose or sagging skin, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, scarring, sun damage, and more, Morpheus8 for the body may be right for you. The ideal candidate is in good general health, a non-smoker, and within a few pounds of their goal weight. It is important that although Morpheus8 can tone and tighten the body, it is not a weight loss procedure.
During your consultation for Morpheus8 for the body in Atlanta, Dr. Killingsworth and his staff of plastic surgery professionals will review your skin laxity, aesthetic goals, and medical history to determine if you are an ideal candidate for Morpheus8 for the body. In order to be a candidate, patients must maintain realistic expectations for the results of their Morpheus8 procedure.
What Should I Expect During Morpheus8 For The Body?
Because of its minimally invasive nature, Morpheus8 for the body is performed in-office and does not require general anesthesia. Rather, treatment area(s) will be numbed with a topical agent to ensure that patients remain comfortable throughout the entire treatment. During the procedure, the skin will be penetrated with micropins to create small punctures in the skin. As the needles puncture the subdermal layers of the skin, radiofrequency energy is delivered precisely, increasing collagen production in the treatment areas.
The collagen production repairs the skin to become tighter and youthful in appearance. Depending on the amount of radiofrequency energy being administered, the size of the needle used can be adjusted. Morpheus8 is performed in designated sections to ensure patient comfort is being prioritized throughout the duration of the procedure and to successfully target each problem area precisely and effectively. Although procedure times will vary per patient, Morpheus8 for the body can usually be completed in as little as an hour.
What Should I Expect After Morpheus8 For The Body?
After receiving Morpheus8 for the body, patients may experience mild bruising, swelling, and irritation. However, these symptoms are normal and should subside in the days following the treatment. Patients should be careful to avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF when going outside. It is important that the treatment areas are kept clean and dry to avoid the possibility of infection.
Before sending you home, Dr. Killingsworth and his staff will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. It is important that patients follow these instructions with care to minimize and potential complications and maximize their results.
