There’s a good chance you already know about traditional microneedling. It’s a popular procedure that many people have chosen to go with in order to gain rejuvenated and tighter skin. It can help to remove or reduce many different issues like wrinkles and scars. There’s another procedure that’s gaining in popularity, and for good reason. We’re talking about radiofrequency microneedling with Morpheus8, and it could work for you. To find out for sure, contact Dr. Harbison and the team at Omaha Face Plastic Surgery & Medspa in Omaha, NE and schedule a consultation!

What Exactly Is Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling is similar to traditional microneedling, except more elements are added in order to address issues at a deeper level. Using the innovative Morpheus8 technology brought to you by InMode, radiofrequency microneedling inputs the element of radiofrequency energy into the procedure. The RF energy warms up the skin in the treatment area and causes the lower layers to constrict. It also speeds up the production of collagen.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Oftentimes, the best results are achieved after a series of treatment sessions. However, it all depends on the unique case, as each situation is unique and results vary from patient to patient. If the patient’s skin concern is relatively minor, then less treatments may be needed than if the problem is more severe. After one session has been completed, the patient will have to wait a set amount of time before undergoing another.

Preparing For RF Microneedling

Leading up to the procedure, it is generally recommended to avoid alcohol. You’ll also want to stay away from any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. Inform our professional if you are taking blood-thinning medication.

What to Expect After Treatment

Following your Morpheus8 treatment, you’re going to want to keep your face clean. Applying sunscreen is also a wise move. Our professional will make sure to provide instructions for you, so you won’t have to worry too much about aftercare.

Morpheus8 with ProNox

Morpheus8 with ProNox for Better Comfort

Dr. Harbison offers Pronox to improve patient comfort during Morpheus8 treatments. With ProNox, patients are awake and can control and administer their own anesthesia. ProNox helps patients relieve anxiety with a combination of nitrous oxide, a mild sedative, and oxygen, delivered through a disposable mouthpiece. The nitrous oxide slows the central nervous system down, which makes it less responsive to stimulation, resulting in a calm feeling. Nitrous oxide also enhances the effects of anesthetic agents

How does ProNox work with Morpheus8?

Before treatment begins, you breathe the nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture in through the disposable mouthpiece. After a few moments, you will begin to feel calm and happy. We will then conduct your Morpheus8 treatment.

When the performance is complete, you will stop the ProNox delivery as well. It will take 5 to 10 minutes for the effects of ProNox to lift. You will then be able to safely drive and resume all normal activities.
