Morpheus8 Body Remodelling for Skin Laxity
Changes in body shape, weight fluctuation and the natural ageing process can all impact the structural integrity of our skin. While diet and exercise are foundational for overall health, they cannot always address concerns like localized skin laxity or textural irregularities on the body.
At Empower Skin in Perth, Dr. Manju utilizes Morpheus8 body remodelling to safely and effectively support deep tissue rejuvenation and structural repair.
What is Morpheus8 Body Remodelling?
Unlike the facial applicator, the Morpheus8 Body device is specifically engineered to treat larger areas and penetrate much deeper into the subdermal tissue.
It uses a specialized matrix of gold-plated microneedles to deliver targeted fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy. This deep, controlled heat stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin while simultaneously remodelling the underlying fat and fibrous networks.
Key Benefits for Your Body
By targeting multiple layers of tissue at once, this advanced technology offers clinical support for several common body concerns. Here is how it helps:
1. Targets Stubborn Skin Laxity
The deep RF energy causes the underlying tissue to contract, which helps support a firmer, tighter appearance over time.
- Example: It is highly effective for managing loose skin on the abdomen (such as postpartum laxity), above the knees, and under the upper arms.
2. Smooths Textural Irregularities and Cellulite
By remodelling the subdermal adipose (fat) tissue and strengthening the fibrous bands underneath, it helps smooth the skin’s surface.
- Example: It is frequently used as a clinical option to soften the dimpled appearance of cellulite on the thighs, hips, and buttocks.
3. Softens the Appearance of Stretch Marks
The microneedling action breaks down older scar tissue, while the RF heat stimulates fresh collagen to help blend the marks with the surrounding skin.
- Example: It helps manage and fade the appearance of stretch marks caused by rapid growth, weight changes, or pregnancy.
What to Expect During Your Session
We prioritize your comfort and safety during every clinical procedure. Here is what a typical body session involves:
- Preparation: We apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream to the targeted area about 45 minutes before starting to ensure maximum comfort.
- Sensation: You will experience a prickling sensation combined with a deep, warming feeling as the RF energy goes to work beneath the skin.
- Downtime: Expect 1 to 3 days of localized redness, mild swelling, and tiny micro-lesions (which may look like a faint grid pattern). These will naturally flake off as the skin heals.
The Bottom Line
Morpheus8 body remodelling is an advanced, evidence-based option for managing laxity and texture on the body. Because it works by stimulating your natural collagen production, improvements are gradual and typically require a series of sessions to reach optimal results.
Since every body is unique, a thorough medical assessment is crucial. Dr. Manju will evaluate your skin to ensure this technology safely aligns with your personal goals.
