Which Areas Can Morpheus 8 Be Applied To?
Morpheus 8 skin renewal is a safe, non-surgical aesthetic procedure that can be used in many areas of the body for renewal and tightening purposes. The treatment can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté and several other regions. Which area it is applied to depends on the skin's structure, the degree of elasticity loss and the person's needs and expectations. Dr. Lida Çiteli, a medical aesthetics specialist practicing in Istanbul, explains which areas Morpheus 8 skin renewal can be applied to.
Can Morpheus 8 Be Applied to the Face?
Yes, the face is the most commonly treated area. The forehead, cheeks, eye and mouth area and jawline are all prone to signs of ageing. The procedure can help soften the appearance of sagging, laxity and fine lines and other signs of ageing in these areas.
It may also be considered to help improve the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture. For people with sagging along the jawline, it can be used to help redefine the facial contour.
However, in sensitive areas such as the eye region, needle depth and energy level must be planned carefully. For this reason the treatment should always be carried out under clinical conditions by an experienced specialist physician.
Can Morpheus 8 Be Applied to the Jowl and Neck Area?
Yes. The neck and jowl area are among the regions where laxity and sagging most commonly appear. For patients with elasticity loss, the treatment can be applied to the neck area, and may also help improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin texture.
Bear in mind that the appearance of the jowl is not caused by skin laxity alone — the amount of fat tissue and the anatomy of the area also influence how it looks. For this reason, outcomes vary from one patient to another.
Morpheus 8 can be considered for people with skin laxity and loss of elasticity in the jowl and neck area, and may help improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture in the neck.
Can Morpheus 8 Skin Renewal Be Applied to the Décolleté?
Yes. The décolleté is exposed to the sun daily, and fine lines and tissue changes often appear in this area as a part of the ageing process. In suitable patients, the procedure can be used to help support the skin quality of the décolleté area and soften the appearance of fine lines. The sensitivity of the skin in this area must be taken into account when adjusting the treatment parameters.
Which Other Body Areas Can Morpheus 8 Be Applied To?
Beyond the face, neck and décolleté, the procedure can be applied to several other areas of the body. These include:
Abdomen – After major weight changes or pregnancy, stretch marks and skin laxity may appear in the abdomen. The treatment can be considered to help address these effects.
Upper arms – It can be considered for loss of elasticity along the inner surface of the arms.
Thighs and above the knees – May be used for laxity and uneven skin texture in these areas.
Hips and buttocks – Microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy can be used to help improve the quality of the skin in this area.
However, outcomes in these areas depend on the severity of the concern. For advanced skin excess or pronounced sagging, Morpheus 8 on its own may not be sufficient — in such cases, alternative treatment options are evaluated.
How Is the Treatment Area Decided?
The aim of Morpheus 8 skin renewal is not to apply the device to as many areas as possible, but to design a treatment plan that best addresses the patient's needs and expectations. A personalised treatment plan should be built around the thickness of the skin in the area, the specific concern being treated and the anatomy of the region.
