Haute Beauty chats with Dr. Arnaoutakis about Morpheus8, the latest technology in non-surgical skin tightening.

HB: What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is the latest innovation in non-surgical skin tightening. It works through fractional technology for subdermal adipose remodeling. Despite being applied externally, it offers the deepest fractional treatment. The marriage of simple application and modern technology allows a physician to target the different layers of a patient’s skin resulting in a face recontouring.

HB: How does Morpheus8 work?

Morpheus8 can penetrate skin deeper than any other micro-needling device on the market which allows it to stimulate deep layers of skin and fat with a potent combination of tiny needles and fractionated radiofrequency energy. This will trigger the skin’s natural healing response to promote tightening, lifting, and relaxing elastic areas for a dramatic overall rejuvenation. You can look years younger without surgery!

HB: Who is the best candidate for this procedure?

If you are looking to reduce the signs of aging and are not quite ready to undergo a more invasive treatment, Morpheus8 might be right for you! Most healthy women &  men are good candidates for Morpheus8 treatments. Those who are looking to smooth fine lines and creases, improve texture and minimize sun damage could benefit from this treatment. Dr. Demetri is one of the leading Morpheus8 providers in the country!

HB: How does this treatment compare to others of the same nature?

Morpheus8 can penetrate skin deeper than any other micro-needling device on the market, resulting in a long-lasting benefit. Since aging is an evolving process, we recommend periodic treatments to maintain your results.
