Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel deep layers of the skin, targeting wrinkles, laxity, and texture for firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking results, with minimal downtime.
Your skin is working around the clock to repair, replace, and recharge. When we’re younger, these processes are robust and keep our appearance smooth and firm. But with age, our skin’s self-rejuvenating processes slow down, causing wrinkles, blemishes, and fine lines to go unchecked. There are two types of aging: intrinsic and extrinsic.
Intrinsic aging is the natural process all of us go through as the years pass. This type of aging is generalized by the gradual waning of collagen production deep in our dermis. Aged collagen fibers become sparse and disorganized, and with less new, healthy collagen to replace them, our skin loses its support to maintain its firmness and elasticity. So, skin starts to sag, and wrinkles deepen.
On the other hand, extrinsic aging stems from external factors like UV exposure, lifestyle choices like smoking, and consuming a poor diet. Extrinsic aging factors like these only exacerbate the intrinsic process under your skin’s surface. While avoiding these extrinsic factors can help keep signs of aging at bay, it’s only a matter of time before the signs of intrinsic aging become noticeable.
