Morpheus8 Treatment in Vancouver

Why Choose Skin Matters for a Morpheus8?

Skin Matters has one of the most experienced teams in Vancouver and have been performing treatments for over a decade. The Skin Matters team is able to evaluate and understand your skin and your desired results in order to provide you with the most effective Morpheus8 treatment experience.

How Is a Morpheus8 Treatment Performed at Skin Matters?

The Morpheus8 handpiece will be applied to the desired treatment area(s) and delivers 24 silicone-coated, probe-like needles beneath the skin. A pulse of radiofrequency energy is delivered into the deep layers of skin and tissue, tightening the exterior appearance and promoting collagen production. 

This treatment can reduce the look of wrinkles, scars, texture, pores, and stretch marks in the treatment area, while the silicone coating on the needles protects the skin from thermal injury. The energy will then flow up the needle(s) to the electrode on the skin surrounding the needles, directly heating the dermis to stimulate collagen and further tighten the soft tissue.

Combining Morpheus8 with Other Treatments

To have your skin look as youthful and rejuvenated as possible, consider dermal fillers to plump up lips that have lost volume with age and any fine lines on your face disrupting your enjoyment of the full Morpheus8 results. Additionally, if you want to boost your skin’s radiance and even your skin tone, follow up your Morpheus8 treatment with LED Light Therapy.
