Morpheus8 For Stretch Marks In NYC

Stretch marks happen when your skin is forced to stretch faster and farther than it can handle, which puts too much stress on the deeper layers of the skin and damages the layers of collagen and elastin. These proteins are responsible for keeping your skin strong, smooth, and flexible, but they can tear under pressure, which causes stretch marks to form.

Stretch marks usually show up in areas where your body tends to grow or change shape quickly, like your stomach, thighs, hips, buttocks, breasts, or upper arms. The rapid stretching causes tiny tears in the deeper layers of your skin, and the resulting stretch mark is the damage that has been caused by the breakdown of the normal structure of your collagen and elastin.

Stretch marks are not dangerous or painful, but many people feel self-conscious about their thin, scar-like appearance and look for treatments that will help improve the way their skin looks and feels.

Morpheus8 is a non-surgical procedure that is designed to remodel and refine the appearance of your skin by targeting not only the surface, but several layers deep.

It combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy, which are two treatments that are proven effective for skin rejuvenation. Microneedling involves creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin using very fine needles, which triggers the body to start its natural healing process and begin making new collagen and elastin to repair the damage. The radio frequency energy delivers heat to the deeper layers of the skin to enhance the depth of the collagen and elastin production and tighten the surrounding skin.

Morpheus8 can help fade the appearance of stretch marks by targeting and treating both the surface of your skin and the layers underneath simultaneously with microneedling and radiofrequency energy.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates tiny pinpricks in the stretch-marked areas of your skin, which your body begins to quickly repair. Your body ramps up its production of collagen and elastin, which are the two proteins that work together to make your skin stronger, smoother, and more pliable. These proteins help to fix the damage that caused the stretch marks, which makes them less noticeable.

Radiofrequency

The addition of the radiofrequency energy that is sent down into the layers of the skin through the needles helps to speed up the production of collagen even more and reaches the deeper layers of skin. It also helps tighten up the surrounding skin to make it look firmer and give it a smoother texture.

When Morpheus8 stimulates your skin to produce new collagen and elastin, your body starts to rebuild and repair these damaged areas and fills in the tears, making the skin in that spot stronger and more flexible. The stretched skin will become smoother, and the marks will begin to fade, blend in, and become less noticeable.

Before your Morpheus8 procedure, your Beauté Aesthetics expert will cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical numbing cream to help minimize discomfort.

The Morpheus8 hand-held device resembles a hair dryer in shape and size and is held flat against the treatment area and used to deliver the microneedling and RF energy to the targeted areas. Your treatment expert will then move the device to the next untreated location and continue this process until the entire area is treated. Each session usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

Every patient has a different degree of pain tolerance, and some may experience mild to moderate discomfort depending on the intensity of the treatment and the extent of damage that is being corrected.

There is no real recovery period after Morpheus8 treatments, and you can return to most of your usual activities. There are some aftercare instructions you will need to follow to get the best results, including:

• Avoid exposure to the sun for about two weeks and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
• Take care to be gentle to your skin, and use mild, non-irritating skin care products and lotions, avoiding exfoliants or harsh chemicals until your skin has fully healed.
• Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water.
• Keep the treated area clean and apply Aquaphor or a similar healing ointment to help soothe the skin, prevent dryness, and promote faster healing.

The number of treatments you will need will vary based on the severity of your stretch marks and how your skin responds to the treatments. Normally, it will require at least 3 sessions spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart to fade the appearance of stretch marks with Morpheus8. The correction will be gradual and can take several months as your body produces new collagen and elastin.

Morpheus8 is considered safe for most individuals and is designed to be used for all skin types. It is not recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain skin conditions. You may experience temporary mild side effects that include:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Bruising
• Scabbing
• Dryness or flaking

These side effects normally resolve by themselves within a few days to a week.

There is no reason to be unhappy with the appearance of your body because of unsightly stretch marks. Morpheus8 treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks without having to undergo invasive procedures or endure a long recovery time. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy helps to treat multiple layers of the skin at the same time to engage the body’s natural healing ability, which eventually leads to smoother, firmer, and more evenly textured skin.
