Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This process reorganizes the skin's building blocks in a natural anti-aging process

Morpheus8 is a popular treatment that can improve skin tone, texture, and tone, as well as reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, and stretch marks. It's also effective for under-eye bags, dark circles, and tightening the skin around the eyes

Morpheus8 uses interchangeable microneedling tips to deliver customizable treatments. Most patients need 1–4 treatments spaced 4–8 weeks apart to allow skin and tissue to heal. After the initial series, patients usually only need one maintenance treatment per year.

Morpheus8 uses state-of-the-art technology to administer 24 silicone-coated needles beneath the surface of the skin and into the superficial fat. The depth of penetration depends upon the area being treated and desired results. Once the needles are placed, the device delivers a pulse of radiofrequency energy that tightens the soft tissue, coagulates the fat and stimulates the production of elastin and collagen.

A Morpheus8 treatment takes approximately 1 hour. During the treatment you will feel heat and pressure on the treatment area. You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream to numb the area and minimize discomfort. Other pain-control options are available including Pro-Nox and Mesoram. Pro-Nox is a patient-controlled inhaled analgesia system that delivers a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide mixture for the relief of pain and anxiety. The effects of Pro-Nox wear off in 10-15 minutes allowing patients to resume normal activity right away including driving. Following treatment, skin may be slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. Redness should subside within the first 24 hours following treatment. Expect up to 3 days of social downtime. While improvement is noticeable after 1 treatment, to achieve optimal effect, 3-4 treatments are typically recommended

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become a newer method for the treatment of various types of alopecia. PRP injections can be effective in treating male pattern baldness, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. PRP can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants. PRP injection is a simple, cost effective and feasible treatment option for androgenic alopecia, with high overall patient satisfaction.

Considering its excellent safety profile and relatively low cost, PRP hair treatment is a promising treatment option for patients with thinning hair.

This is a unique skin treatment that involves the use of various light-emitting devices to help with skin discoloration while reducing the appearance of blemishes. This is perfect for treating different skin problems like large pores, fine lines, wrinkles, and even acne scars.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, also known as a photo facial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest. IPL may help if you have red, brown, or splotchy skin because of a health condition.

Both IPL and laser treatments can be used to improve a variety of skin issues. The main difference is that IPL therapy is gentler on the skin and usually requires more sessions than laser therapy for comparable results. Laser treatment is more intense and recovery is longer. It can achieve more noticeable results from fewer procedures. However, unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. IPL can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. Certain skin issues may respond better to IPL or laser. Your dermatologist can tell you which one is a better match for your needs.
