Collagen and elastin are hands down the building blocks of healthy, youthful-looking skin. But time and other factors eventually take a toll and slow the natural production of these skin essentials. The results materialize as wrinkles, volume loss, and sagging skin. But you don’t have to take that lying down! There are revolutionary treatments right here in Knoxville that are expertly designed to tackle these skin woes and have you looking radiant yet again. One of our favorites is the fractional skin remodeling power of Morpheus8, and we’ve got it at Culture Aesthetics & Wellness!
What is Morpheus8 and how does it work?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive microneedling device that harnesses the power of radiofrequency energy to revitalize and remodel your skin at deeper levels as compared to other similar treatments. This device is actually the first and only FDA-cleared technology to provide deep 8mm subdermal adipose tissue remodeling for more impactful results. Since this fractional resurfacing treatment has the ability to penetrate deeper layers, that generally translates into a major revving up of collagen and elastin to promote a smoother, more youthful appearance that lasts.
What are the most common areas treated with Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is quite versatile and can be used to tackle skin concerns on virtually any area of the face and body. Whether it’s wrinkle and/or scar reduction, skin tightening, and refined contouring you desire anywhere on the skin, Morpheus8 likely has you covered. But the most common areas are:
- Face
- Neck
- Abdomen
- Knees
But again, Morpheus8 can be used to improve virtually any area where skin rejuvenation is desired.
Who are good candidates for skin resurfacing with Morpheus8?
The innovative technology of Morpheus8 can be used safely on all skin types for generally healthy adults. In fact, the device’s unique design allows for even darker skin tones to be treated with less risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation, which can be a common side effect of other skin resurfacing methods on the market. Morpheus8 has shown to be a game changer for people in Knoxville and East Tennessee who are experiencing the following skin concerns:
- Uneven tone and texture
- Acne scars
- Injury or surgery scars
- Mild sagging
- Early jowling
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores

What’s the treatment with Morpheus8 like?
We’ll make sure you’re nice and comfy during treatment by applying a topical numbing cream prior to your session. When you’re all numbed up, your expert provider will use a small handheld applicator to gently go over your desired treatment area. The tip of the applicator contains a series of tiny needles that deliver radiofrequency energy waves to the deeper layers of your skin. Treatment is carried out in more of a gentle stamping motion rather than the applicator gliding across your skin. It all takes about an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Is there any downtime needed with Morpheus8? What about side effects?
Once your treatment session is complete, you can go on with your day. You can expect your skin to appear red for a couple of days after (like a light sunburn). You may also experience some mild swelling, but these side effects are typically on the lighter side and will resolve pretty quickly.
How many Morpheus8 treatments are needed for best results?
Everyone is different and has their own personal aesthetic goals, but we’ve found that one to three treatments generally work best for most patients. Additional Morpheus8 treatments may be recommended every 18 months or so to maintain your results.
When can I expect to notice improvement with Morpheus8?
You’ll most likely start noticing visible improvement within the first few days. Optimal results, however, typically show up in about three to four weeks. Those beautiful skin improvements can continue to build for up to three months after your last treatment, and most patients experience the effects for over a year!
