Morpheus8 Eye Treatment

Radiofrequency uses energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, but the heat energy is electrical rather than light-based. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin.

Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, periorbital(eye) area, tummy, thighs, legs and buttocks.

Three treatments. Each 4-6 weeks apart.

A course of three treatments costs €1200.

One maintenance treatment every 6-12 months. This maintenance treatment costs €400. Dr. Nadine advises polynucleotide eye treatments pre and post Morpheus8 to yield better results.

Prime Tip:  12 thin gold coated micropins. Depth Profile 1mm-4mm – Small areas such as around eyes and mouth.

Morpheus8 Tip: 24 thin gold coated micropins. Depth Profile 1mm-4mm – Face and neck.

Resurfacing Tip: 24 thin gold coated micropins. Depth Profile 0.5mm – areas of scarring/to help improve pore skin texture.

Body Tip: 40 thin gold coated micropins. Depth Profile 2mm-7mm – Tummy, arms, thighs and buttox.

Topical numbing cream is placed on the area of treatment for 45-60 minutes. This makes the treatment quite tolerable and comfortable. Dr Nadine suggests you allocate 2 hours to include your treatment.

• Intra-dermal or superficial sub-dermal areas injected with Hyaluronic Acid Filler/collagen/fat injections or other augmentation methods with biomaterial, before the product has broken down (up to 6 months). It is advised to wait at least 6 months post filler treatment as Morpheus8 can essentially dissolve your product.

• To reduce risk of hyperpigmentation you cannot be exposed to intense UV light/sun holiday 3-4 weeks pre and post Morpheus8 treatment.
• Use of Isotretinoin (Accutane®) within 6 months prior to treatment
• Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS, e.g., ibuprofen-containingagents) one week before and after each treatment session, as per the practitioner’s discretion as this reduces inflammation response needed for good results.
• Treating over tattoo or permanent makeup to be kept.
• Treating over the lips.
• Dr Nadine chooses to treat Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV only as darker skintones have a very high risk of hyperpigmentation post heat treatments.
• Treating over hair bearing surfaces need to be clean shaved prior to treatment.

• Possible breakout, dry or itchy skin

• Use an antiseptic product (e.g. Clinisept) to clean your face for 5 days post-treatment which Dr Nadine will give to you. To reduce risk of infection ONLY apply this product to your face using a clean gauze for 5 days post-treatment.

• Avoid touching your face.
• Return to your normal skin routine, SPF and make-up from day 6 only.
• Avoid significant sun exposure or sunbeds for approx. 4 weeks post-treatment.
• Do not pick or pull any scabs or areas of dry skin to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation.
