Why We Like Morpheus8 for
Acne Scars at AcneClinicNYC:
We love Morpheus 8 for its minimal downtime compared to laser treatments while still delivering excellent results. It significantly improves skin texture, rejuvenation, and scar appearance, and is accessible for all skin types.
FAQ
For scars, Morpheus8 breaks down old scar tissue and promotes the synthesis of new collagen, resulting in smoother, more even skin.
For rejuvenation, Morpheus8 stimulates the production of collagen lost over the years, improving its density, volume, and overall quality.
RF modalities like Morpheus 8 can potentially alter facial features by shifting fat pockets, but this only occurs when the technician uses energy levels above 40 joules (which may be used only for fat reduction, but not for scar treatment or rejuvenation). Additionally, counterfeit machines can also cause unintended changes. At our clinic, we prioritize your safety and results by using only authentic, FDA-approved Morpheus 8 machines, and we never exceed a safe energy level, with a maximum of 30 joules.
No, we cannot. At AcneClinicNYC, our primary mission and goal is to maintain skin integrity and health while achieving noticeable improvements without side effects. We adhere to strict protocols designed to deliver effective results while preserving the skin’s integrity. Multiple, carefully planned treatments are necessary to ensure the best outcomes safely.
No, each Morpheus8 treatment is tailored to your skin’s progress. We evaluate the results after each session and adjust the settings to ensure optimal outcomes. The settings may be increased or remain the same based on factors such as your skin’s immediate reaction, post-treatment recovery, achieved results, skin condition, and skin tone. These considerations determine how the treatment is adjusted and whether it is combined with other modalities.
At AcneClinicNYC, we have been working with RF Microneedling for 6 years and have performed over 2,000 treatments, all of them successful.
After 24-48 hours, once any redness or swelling subsides.
Taking a day off is not necessary. However, your skin will be red after the treatment, so it is recommended to go straight home afterward.
Our recommendations are a minimum age is 16 for scar treatment and 27 for rejuvenation.
