Pixel8 vs. Morpheus Laser for Mini Face Lift
Dreaming of better-looking skin? Going under the scalpel is an extreme move, and there are easier, less invasive methods at The Med Spa in Woodbury, MN for claiming back that youthful glow. Let’s talk about Pixel8 vs. Morpheus Laser for mini facelifts!
Getting older means a lot of good things. It means getting wiser, growing in your career, gaining more and more of life’s amazing experiences. But it also means aging skin. Fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, skin tone issues, and pesky scarring that won’t seem to go away. Volume loss in the skin also means eventual sagging.
If you’re facing the effects of inevitable aging skin, you don’t necessarily have to resort to surgical methods. Let’s talk about how collagen-boosting, non-surgical methods like Pixel8 and Morpheus Laser can help you meet your skin goals.
The Importance of Collagen for Glowing Skin
To understand aging skin a little better, it’s important to know the effect that collagen has on the skin. Collagen is naturally occurring in the body and it’s responsible for strengthening skin and providing its structure. It also helps grow new skin cells, which keeps the skin looking young and healthy.
The problem is, as we age, our body produces less and less collagen, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and other issues common in aging skin. That’s where collagen-boosting aesthetic treatments – like microneedling – come into play.
What is RF Microneedling?
Microneedling is a skin treatment that utilizes tiny needles to create tiny wounds in your skin. Sound counterproductive to beautiful skin? The reality is that these small punctures actually kick the body into healing mode and boost collagen production to create fresh, new skin cells. The result is tighter, glowing, younger-looking skin.
RF Microneedling takes the standard treatment a step further. Using radiofrequency energy in conjunction with microneedling treatments heats subdermal layers of the skin, amplifying the effects of the skin needling and collagen production.
Benefits of Pixel8
If you’re looking to address issues with aging skin with minimal downtime and the highest level of comfort possible, Pixel8 is your RF microneedling treatment. It uses more energy than some other RF treatments and the device’s depth and tightening levels can be controlled easily for getting better, more precise results.
With the Pixel8 device, treatment is also one of the most minimally painful available for optimal patient comfort. This is thanks to the Zimmer Chiller that the device uses to deliver cooled air during treatment.
We typically recommend three or four Pixel8 treatments spaced between four and eight weeks apart for optimal results. Minimal results can be seen immediately following your first treatment, but effects will amplify with both time and additional treatments as your body begins to produce more collagen.
Pixel8 results typically last between one and two years before additional treatments are needed.
Benefits of Morpheus Laser
When you’re looking for big results, the Morpheus Laser could be the RF microneedling treatment for you. It’s the only device approved by the FDA for the depth that it goes. It can even target and eliminate fat cells with radiofrequency energy in order to contour the face. This helps to eliminate jowls, turkey neck, and other issues that aging brings to the facial profile.
Since the Morpheus Laser penetrates the skin deeper, there may be a longer downtime afterward than other treatments, but the results will be amazing!
We recommend three total Morpheus Laser treatments that are spaced out with four to six weeks in between. After that, results can last up to a year before repeat treatments would be necessary.
