Morpheus8 with PRP for Youthful Skin
Most people do not want to look their age, or even older than they actually are, but as the years go by, fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin begin to develop that can make us look tired, haggard, and older than we feel. A Morpheus8 with PRP treatment at Beauté Aesthetics can turn back the hands of time and refresh your complexion, leaving your skin glowing and looking more youthful.
What Is Morpheus8 with PRP?
Morpheus8 with PRP is a combination of treatments that refreshes your complexion from deep within the skin’s layers. They are done consecutively during your appointment, and you will see some results immediately, and the rest will gradually emerge as your skin produces new collagen and elastin.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a blend of microneedling and radiofrequency heat to target and reduce cosmetic imperfections, tighten the surface of the skin, and remodel the underlying tissue so it is smoother and firmer.
The treatment is done using a handheld device that houses a group of tiny microneedles that is placed on your skin, and as these needles deploy through the skin’s surface, radiofrequency energy travels through them and permeates down deep into the layers. The heat can melt small accumulations of unwanted fat and, together with the tiny needles, create micro-injuries in your skin that prompt your body to repair the damage by creating new collagen and elastin. This remodels the tissues under your skin and resurfaces the top layer, resulting in clearer, smoother skin.
PRP
PRP” stands for platelet-rich plasma, which is blood that contains a higher concentration of platelets. Just to give you an idea, platelets make up about 6% of normal blood, but when blood is put through a special process and turned into PRP, the platelet count rises to about 94%.
PRP contains a high concentration of natural growth proteins, which help your body heal faster, produce collagen more quickly, and promote the growth of healthy new cells. This makes your skin naturally become smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking.
PRP is made by using a small amount of your own blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then used as a topical treatment, or it is injected into targeted areas, where it helps to accelerate healing and work its magic.
Benefits of Combining Morpheus8 and PRP
- Combining Morpheus8 with PRP helps your skin build more collagen because the radiofrequency energy and the growth proteins in the PRP work together to rebuild and repair the areas of controlled damage.
- Improves rough or uneven skin texture by triggering fresh, healthy skin cells to form after the microneedling and PRP are applied.
- Softens and reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles as your skin repairs itself from the inside.
- Morpheus8 followed by PRP can tighten loose or sagging areas like your jawline, cheeks, and neck.
- The addition of the PRP helps your skin heal faster after your Morpheus8 session because the natural growth proteins in the PRP act like tiny messengers telling your skin it is time to repair and rebuild by making new collagen.
- Your results last longer compared to traditional microneedling because Morpheus8 reaches the deeper layers within your skin that give it firmness and structure.
- It can reduce the appearance of acne scars, sun damage, and early signs of aging during the same session.
- PRP comes from your own blood, so the treatment is very natural, and there is very little risk of experiencing an allergic or other adverse reaction.
- Morpheus8 with PRP is considered minimally invasive and does not involve a long recovery time. Most people can return to their normal activities right away if they want to.
What Before and After Results Can You Expect From Morpheus8 with PRP?
Immediately After Treatment
Right after your Morpheus8 session, your skin will look a bit pink or feel and look like you have a mild sunburn. You may also see some mild swelling or pinpoint marks from the microneedling, and your skin will feel a bit tight. You will need to apply a moisturizing ointment to the treated areas a few times a day for three or four days per your Beauté Aesthetics specialist’s instructions.
In the First Week
The “sunburn” usually fades fairly quickly and can be totally gone the morning after your treatment, or it may take a couple of days for your skin to return to its normal color. Depending on the correction needed and the settings used during your treatment, you may have some mild scabbing, and your skin will have a rough, sandpapery texture that can take three or four days to go away. You will continue to keep the skin moisturized, but can switch to a lighter cream.
Weeks Two to Four
At this point, you should see that your skin is smoother, your pores are a bit tighter, and there is a noticeable but natural-looking glow.
Weeks Four to Six
As your body makes new collagen and elastin to repair the microinjuries, your skin will gradually look tighter and firmer, and you should notice a faint lifting and fewer fine lines.
Months Two to Three
After a few months, when you compare your Morpheus8 with PRP before and after pictures, you will see dramatic results. Your skin will look smoother and firmer, and your jawline more defined, and you should notice a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, and other cosmetic imperfections. The changes have been happening gradually over the past several months, but since you see yourself every day, you may not realize the difference the treatment made to your skin until you compare the before and after Morpheus8 with PRP pictures. Full results may take up to six months as your body makes new collagen.
What Is Involved in a Morpheus8 with PRP Session?
Your Beauté Aesthetics specialist will begin your treatment by applying a numbing cream to the areas targeted for treatment. While you are waiting, a small sample of your blood will be taken and put in the centrifuge to process, so it will be ready to apply at the end of your Morpheus8 session.
Once the numbing cream takes effect, the Morpheus8 handheld device will be used to create tiny micro-injuries in your skin while simultaneously sending RF energy into the deep layers of your skin. The device is moved around until the entire targeted area has been treated, and then the PRP is applied topically to your skin, which is easily absorbed because the Morpheus8 microneedling has opened up tiny channels in your skin. Sometimes, the PRP is carefully injected into certain areas of the treated skin, like under the eyes, smile lines, etc., to further enhance the speed and quantity of new collagen building.

FAQs about Morpheus8 with PRP
Can Morpheus8 Be Combined with PRP?
Yes, as you can see from this article, combining these two treatments can enhance your results and make your healing process faster because of the power of the growth factors in the PRP. Using these treatments together helps tighten and smooth your skin even better than using Morpheus8 alone and can make your results last even longer.
Is Microneedling with PRP Better than Morpheus8?
The answer to this question depends on the results you wish to achieve and your personal circumstances and preferences. Traditional microneedling creates micro-channels in your skin using tiny needles, and when combined with PRP, it improves the speed and quality of your recovery. Your downtime is minimal, but your treatment depth is not as deep as it is with the addition of the radiofrequency energy used during a Morpheus8 session. If you have mild laxity in your skin, Morpheus8 will tighten and firm your skin more than traditional microneedling alone and give you more dramatic results.
