Okay, so I’m talking about Morpheus. And for a lot of people who don’t know what Morpheus is, it’s radiofrequency needles that go underneath the skin.

It’s kind of cool because every other treatment device essentially had to go through the skin to make that difference. And you would use a laser that has to kind of go through your epidermis to the dermis to treat the subcutaneous area. So with radiofrequency needles, the way it works is the needles go through the skin. The energy is below treats the affected area, bypassing the areas that can cause hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, that’s the epidermis and the deeper level of the dermis.

The other cool thing about this is this treatment is colorblind. It means it doesn’t matter what type of skin type color you have. Lots of lasers can burn skin, make it hypopigmented, can affect your pigmentation. So it’s not safe for darker skin types, my skin type included.

So with this device, the Morpheus, you can treat almost any skin type. You can actually tighten the skin, you can treat acne scars, improve texture, and it’s a great way of maintaining your skin, maintaining some of the thickness in that area, and kind of building more collagen and deeper areas that are normally not accessible with other lasers. It’s a game changer technology that’s been out, uh, the first derivations of this technology was becoming to call ura. In fact, had needles that were hot throughout the whole device were needles that were hot just to the tips.

The problem with Fractora was that all the energy was kind of distributed in a longer pulse way. And with Morpheus, the reason why this has kind of changed the whole um, industry is because the energy goes delivered in such a fast period of time that patients have much more comfort.

Great aesthetic results with way less risk, uh, profile. Awesome procedure for lots of patients with improvement in aging, improvement in acnes scars, improving lots of other things.
