A blepharoplasty is traditionally described as a surgical procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This plastic surgery is done to tighten sagging skin, reduce fatty deposits and bags beneath the eyes, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Surgical blepharoplasty sounds pretty risky, right? Luckily, Morpheus8 is a fantastic non-surgical alternative for upper and lower blepharoplasty, offering similar benefits without the same level of risk and invasiveness, thanks to radiofrequency microneedling.
Morpheus8 is a state-of-the-art radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device and the cure to your droopy, tired-looking eyelids. This specific FDA-approved treatment delivers the deepest fractional remodeling available, carefully damaging and heating your skin tissues without causing trauma.
The point of this seemingly counterintuitive process is to encourage rejuvenation on a cellular level, triggering your skin’s natural healing response, as well as encouraging the production of important proteins like collagen and elastin.
This minimally invasive procedure is a powerhouse for firming lax skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and banishing eyebags – everything you would want and need in a non-surgical blepharoplasty.
Morpheus8 can safely benefit all skin tones and types, including skin tones type IV to VI on the Fitzpatrick scale. It is easily customizable, and your provider can choose a needle type that is safest for you, minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
Thermal heating? Microneedling? All of this sounds like it might be painful, but it’s really not. Any discomfort is managed by a topical anesthetic that numbs the area around your eyes.
Some patients see improvement in their skin tone and texture within the first week of their first Morpheus8 session, however it takes time and consistency to see significant changes to sagging skin, wrinkles, and puffiness.
Full results are usually apparent within three months of completing your recommended series of treatments.
While not permanent, your new look can last a year or longer, especially if you take good care of your skin and practice sun safety. Maintenance sessions are recommended to stay on top of the natural aging process.
Morpheus8 is typically safe to repeat as needed every month. Anywhere from one to three appointments, spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended. Consult with a reputable provider who specializes in Morpheus8 for a personalized treatment plan to find out how many sessions you may need.
The best candidate for non-surgical upper or lower blepharoplasty is a healthy adult with mild to moderate signs of aging around the eyes and realistic expectations about what can be achieved with Morpheus8.
It is advised that you avoid this procedure if you have an active skin infection or skin condition around the eyes, are pregnant, taking blood thinning medications, or are prone to keloids and /or poor wound healing.
A consultation is the best way to learn more about Morpheus8 and find out if it’s a safe, beneficial treatment for you.
