Morpheus8
What is
Morpheus8?
“I went to Alison for my Morpheus8 treatment, and she was so great in walking me through the treatment. I did notice an almost immediate improvement in the texture of my skin!”
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive, in-office treatment that combines micro-needling and radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production in the deep layers of the skin. It can probe deeper into the skin than any other micro-needling device. Morpheus8 is most commonly used on the lower face and neck. It also works on the face and body areas that exhibit wrinkles, lax skin, scarring, stretch marks, or discoloration. This can include the jawline, abdomen, and buttocks. Additionally, there is minimal downtime to receiving this treatment. Each treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and is customized to your specific concerns.
MORPHEUS8 is an innovative, minimally invasive technology for skin resurfacing and remodeling. It works by stimulating collagen and elastin to tighten the skin, improve skin tone and texture, and remove years from your skin’s appearance!
We are one of the first few med spas in Chicago with Morpheus8. Contact our office today for a complimentary consultation and find out if Morphues8 is right for you!

Before your
Morpheus8 treatment
To prepare for your treatment, you should avoid skin irritation such as direct sun exposure, sunbathing, or tanning because you will feel increased heat sensation. Additionally, you should:
- Stop the use of topical irritant products 2-3 days before your treatment. This includes retinol and tretinoin.
- Arrive at your appointment with clean skin (no makeup, lotions, perfume, jewelry, or other skin products on the area being treated).
- Be aware that if you have a pacemaker or any metal in your body near the treatment area, you are not a candidate for this treatment.

At Home Skin Products Following Your Morpheus8 Treatment
Once your in-office Morpheus8 treatment is finished, it’s essential to continue to take good care of your skin at home. You’ve already invested in your treatment, so an at-home skin regimen is recommended to enhance your healing and skin results! Here are some of our favorite recommendations, also available at our office.
- ZO GROWTH FACTOR SERUM is a plant and enzymatically derived growth factor that restores hydration and improves firmness and elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. 93% of patients experienced improvement after 12 weeks of use.

- ELTA MD SUNBETTER SPF is 100% mineral SPF that is water-resistant and protects against UV, blue light, pollution, and infrared radiation. It also acts as a primer and blurs skin imperfections.
