Morpheus8 rejuvenates not only the face, but also the body

Morpheus8 Burst works at three different depths in one pass, allowing it to hit different layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue simultaneously. Burst technology is suitable for treating larger areas of the body where deeper action is needed - for example, on the thighs, abdomen, arms, hips or buttocks. This technology makes Morpheus8 Burst more effective in addressing issues such as sagging skin, cellulite, subcutaneous fat or stretch marks. We asked Sabina Sellner, M.D., Ph.D., head of aesthetic dermatology at MEDICOM Clinic in Brno, about her favourite treatment.

Morpheus8 Burst in body skin rejuvenation

• Loose skin tightening
  Morpheus8 Burst is one of the most effective methods for firming sagging areas of the body, for example on the arms, abdomen or thighs. Due to time, hormonal changes or weight loss, the skin can lose its firmness and elasticity. Morpheus8 Burst stimulates collagen fibers and promotes elastin production, resulting in re-tightening and firming.
• Softening and reduction of stretch marks
  Stretch marks often form as a result of rapid weight changes, such as during pregnancy. It is often difficult to minimise them afterwards. Thanks to the action of microneedles together with radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 Burst helps not only to reduce stretch marks but to soften their overall appearance.
• Improving texture and reducing cellulite
  Morpheus8 Burst can be an effective tool in the fight against cellulite. The radiofrequency energy can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin where it not only stimulates collagen production, but also fat cell reduction, helping to eliminate unwanted orange skin.
• Scars and surface irregularities
  Stimulating collagen in the deeper layers of the skin is important for healing scars and skin irregularities. Morpheus8 Burst not only stimulates collagen in the superficial layer, but also in the deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The result is a gradual softening of scars and smoothing of skin irregularities.

Treatment course and recovery

The Morpheus8 Burst procedure is minimally invasive, which means that the recovery period is significantly shorter than with surgical procedures. Before the treatment, the doctor will apply an anaesthetic cream that makes the procedure well tolerated. The length of the procedure depends on the extent of the area to be treated and usually varies between 30 and 60 minutes. It is important to perform the treatment only on untanned skin, avoid sun exposure for at least a month after the treatment and use a high SPF factor.

Slight redness and swelling may occur after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours or a day. For up to 2 weeks, the treated area may show flaking with small scales and the skin surface may be rough. The recommended number of sessions depends on the individual needs of the client, usually 2-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart are recommended. The final result of the Morpheus8 Burst treatment will occur over the next two months, when the production of the skin's own collagen in the subcutaneous tissue is restored. To maintain the effect, it is advisable to repeat the treatment once a year.

Who is the treatment suitable for?

Microneedle radiofrequency is suitable for adults aged 30 years and above, but may also be recommended for younger people if they have certain skin problems (e.g. acne scars, sagging skin). For older clients, it helps to improve skin elasticity and reduce the visible signs of aging. Morpheus8 Burst is suitable for all skin types as the microneedle technology combined with radiofrequency minimises the risk of hyperpigmentation, which can be a particular problem with darker skin tones.
