Skin Tightening in Brea

Morpheus8 offers a unique combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. The device features tiny microneedles that create micro-channels in the skin, allowing for precise and controlled delivery of RF energy into the deep dermis. This dual-action approach stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promoting skin tightening from within.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The newly formed collagen helps to tighten the skin, improve its texture, and reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles. Additionally, the microchannels allow for better absorption of topical treatments, enhancing their efficacy.

When Morpheus8 is applied to the skin, RF energy penetrates the deep layers via the micro-channels, causing controlled heating of the underlying tissues. This heat stimulates collagen production, leading to skin tightening and improved elasticity. The thermal effect of RF energy also promotes the breakdown of fat cells and can help improve the appearance of cellulite. RF energy provides safe, non-surgical skin tightening in Brea without downtime.

Preparation
Preparation for your Morpheus8 skin tightening is simple and straightforward. Before your appointment, ensure your skin is clean and free from makeup or lotions.
