We tested it for you... Morpheus 8, the anti-ageing technology that improves skin quality
After testing hyaluronic acid and Botox injections and Botox injections Coolsculpting to reshape the oval of the face, Fanny, our communications director, once again pushed open the door of Doctor Olivier Claude's practice to discover the new fractional radiofrequency and micro-needling technology: Morpheus 8. Here's what you need to know about this anti-aging treatment.
What are the benefits of a Morpheus 8 treatment for the skin?
"Radiofrequency treatments are based on the emission of very high-frequency, highly localized electromagnetic waves, passing through the skin to heat subcutaneous tissues by producing heat (up to 55°). This heat stimulates the cells' fibroblasts and their production of collagen and elastin fibers, improving skin elasticity and firmness for an instant radiance boost.
Morpheus 8 offers a triple action to firm skin and improve its appearance, suppleness and elasticity, and reduce subcutaneous fat. In this way, Morpheus can act on different areas of the body to treat sagging skin, smooth wrinkles or reduce scarring. "
How does it differ from other aesthetic medicine techniques?
"The combination of radiofrequency and micro-needling is a real revolution in aesthetic medicine! The treatment is more effective and more powerful than other fractional radiofrequency techniques, since Morpheus 8 can penetrate subcutaneous adipose tissue to a depth of up to 8 mm, thanks to micro-needles that penetrate the dermis and hypodermis, containing subcutaneous fat, to deliver rapid heat energy. What's more, side effects (pain, redness, even burns) are limited, and comfort during treatment is optimized."
Fanny's opinion on Morpheus 8 treatment
"I do a Morpheus 8 treatment at Doctor Olivier Claude's practice or at Innerskin, 3 times a year, 1 month apart. Admittedly, the treatment itself isn't very pleasant - just look at the state of my skin after the session, which remains red for 24 hours. Make-up is forbidden for the next 48 hours, and only Cicalfate cream is our best friend. But I can assure you, it's all very bearable, and the results are insane in terms of skin quality, radiance and texture: imperfections are reduced and skin texture is refined... What's more, the tightening and plumping effect is visible after just a few days." - Fanny, Communications Director
