Younger patients can benefit from proactive care that helps maintain fresh and youthful skin. At Venus Rising Med Spa in Vancouver, WA, we offer Morpheus8 RF microneedling treatments as a powerful option for this preventative approach.

All of our treatments are administered by registered nurses or nurse practitioners so you know you are getting professional care regardless of your stage of life. With our RF microneedling treatments, you can stay ahead of aging signs and maintain a youthful appearance without taking much time out of your busy schedule. 

What Is Morpheus8 RF MIcroneedling? 

For concerns about aging skin, Morpheus8 RF microneedling stands out because of its versatile uses and noticeable results. This device combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy for a treatment that gives you the benefits of both. Morpheus8 penetrates deep into the layers of your skin to provide enduring results that make your skin look and feel more youthful.

Timing Preventative Care for Optimal Skin Health

Aging Signs in Your 20s

In your 20s, your skin is generally at its peak, with plenty of collagen and elastin keeping it firm and smooth. However, this is also when the first subtle signs of aging can start to appear, often in the form of fine lines around the eyes and mouth due to repetitive facial expressions and sun exposure. Starting preventative treatments like radio frequency microneedling at this stage can help maintain your skin’s youthful qualities and slow down the aging process before deeper wrinkles develop.

Aging Signs in Your 30s

By the time you reach your 30s, collagen production begins to slow down, leading to the formation of fine lines, dullness, and a loss of skin elasticity. This is also a good time to incorporate radio frequency microneedling into your skincare routine since it can stimulate collagen and elastin production to make up for this loss and keep your skin looking firm and radiant.

Aging Signs in Your 40s and Beyond

In your 40s and beyond, most people have deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, and a noticeable decrease in skin elasticity. Treatments that penetrate deeper into the skin to remodel collagen and tighten the skin can help correct any signs of aging that have already occurred and keep wrinkles and sagging from getting more pronounced.

How Can Morpheus8 RF Microneedling Help? 

Preserving Skin Elasticity

RF microneedling preserves skin elasticity by using tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin’s surface which triggers a controlled wound healing process. During this process, radiofrequency energy is also delivered deep into the dermis, where it generates heat. The heat denatures collagen fibers, causing them to contract and tighten immediately. Over the following weeks, fibroblasts (cells responsible for producing collagen) are stimulated to produce new, more resilient collagen fibers.

Preventing Discoloration

Discoloration, such as sunspots and hyperpigmentation, occurs due to an uneven distribution of melanin in the skin. Morpheus8 RF microneedling combats this by promoting uniform cell turnover. The microchannels disrupt melanin deposits and help damaged cells to slough off and make way for new, evenly toned skin cells. 

Preventing Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores result from a combination of reduced collagen support and excess sebum production. Microneedling with RF uses thermal energy to shrink the skin around the pores. While the pores themselves cannot be made smaller, improving the elasticity around the pores helps them to be less noticeable. 

Preventing Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles develop when collagen and elastin fibers break down and allow the surface of the skin to sag and fold. By increasing collagen production, the skin can regain its support and become smoother again.

Increasing Absorption of Anti-Aging Skincare

Microneedling and radio frequency treatments enhance the absorption of anti-aging skincare through the tiny holes it creates in the skin. These microchannels allow active ingredients in topical products to penetrate more deeply. This increased permeability helps nourishing  ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and retinoids to reach the deeper layers of the skin, where they can exert their full effect.

How Morpheus8 Can Fit Into Your Anti-Aging Skincare Plan

  • Pairing the Treatment With Topical Products: Use retinoids, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to boost the effects of RF microneedling. These products work alongside the treatment, enhancing cell turnover and hydration.
  • Supporting Your Skin With Healthy Habits: Eating well, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep all contribute to glowing skin. Combine these habits with RF microneedling to keep your skin looking its best.
  • Sun Protection Is a Must: After RF microneedling, your skin needs strong sun protection. Daily use of SPF 30+ sunscreen, especially with zinc oxide, can help preserve your results.
  • Scheduling Your Treatments: Regular RF microneedling treatments every three to six  months can keep your skin firm and youthful. Starting with a series of three treatments helps build a solid collagen base.

What to Expect From Your Morpheus8 Treatment Plan

The treatment often starts numbing the area with a topical anesthetic followed by the use of Morpheus8. The device is equipped with multiple rows of tiny needles which all puncture the skin at the same time, penetrating to very precise depths. The treatment may feel like a prickling or scratching sensation accompanied by heat. Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness like a sunburn as your skin responds with increased blood flow. In the days that follow, this redness diminishes and you are left with glowing skin. Regular follow-up sessions are often scheduled to maintain and enhance these results.
