Morpheus8 in Santa Barbara
Tighten skin, smooth texture, and contour your face and body by pairing microneedling with deep radiofrequency energy.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat deep into the dermis to remodel collagen and elastin where creams and surface treatments cannot reach.
One treatment addresses multiple concerns at once: fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, sagging skin, uneven texture, and softness along the jawline. It is safe and effective for all skin types.
At MiraMed and Day Spa in Santa Barbara, Morpheus8 treatments are performed by experienced professionals under medical director supervision. Before treatment the area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Beyond the face, Morpheus8 treats the neck, chest, arms, stomach, thighs and buttocks, and is used for stretch marks and scar revision. Adding PRP uses your own platelets to support the remodeling the radiofrequency starts.
Two or three treatment sessions are typically recommended to achieve the most effective results, and Morpheus8 pairs well with PDO threads and other collagen-stimulating treatments in a personalized plan.
