Microneedling and radiofrequency together, reaching deeper than Forma can — for the concerns that need remodelling rather than gentle tightening.
What it is
Morpheus8 drives an array of very fine needles into the skin and delivers radiofrequency energy from their tips, so the heat is placed in the deeper layers rather than travelling down from the surface. That is the difference between Morpheus8 and Forma: Forma warms the skin gently from above and lifts gradually, while Morpheus8 remodels from within and does more for deeper wrinkles, laxity and heavy lids.
The trade is downtime. Expect redness and a sandpaper texture for several days, and small pinpoint marks that settle over about a week. Results build over two to three months as new collagen forms, and a course of three is typical.
Morpheus8 is offered at Sherwood Park Eye Centre. It pairs well with Plexr Plus — where there is both excess skin and volume beneath it, Morpheus8 first and Plexr afterwards is often the better sequence.
Concerns
What to expect
We work out whether Forma, Morpheus8 or a combination fits what you want to change, and how much recovery you can accept.
Topical numbing cream is applied and left to work before we begin.
Thirty to sixty minutes depending on the area. You will feel pressure and heat rather than sharpness.
Redness and a rough, sandpapery texture for two to four days, with fine pinpoint marks fading over about a week. Makeup after 24 hours.
Usually three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The full result appears two to three months after the last one.
Pricing
Available at Sherwood Park Eye Centre. A consultation is required before booking.
Questions
Forma heats from the surface, is completely comfortable and has no downtime, but it works on fine lines and gentle lifting. Morpheus8 places energy deep in the skin, needs numbing and about a week of recovery, and does considerably more for deeper wrinkles and laxity.
It can, and it is one of the two options we would discuss alongside Plexr Plus. Where there is both loose skin and fullness underneath it, doing Morpheus8 first and Plexr afterwards often gives the better outcome.
Two to four days of visible redness and rough texture, with fine marks settling across the week. It is not a treatment to book immediately before an event.
A year or more for most people, with the full effect arriving two to three months after your course finishes. Maintenance sessions keep it going.
