As one of the top-tier non-surgical treatments, Morpheus8 remains a popular choice. It offers stunning yet accessible skin rejuvenation to adult patients of all ages. But how long do Morpheus8 results last?
How Long Do Morpheus8 Results Last?
Morpheus8 results typically last between 1 and 3 years. On average, patients see satisfying benefits for about 18 months.
The treatment stimulates a notable increase in collagen production. This essential protein plays a crucial role in maintaining your skin’s tightness, smoothness, and youthfulness.
However, as a non-surgical treatment, it does have its limitations. Still, while surgery offers longer results, it comes at the cost of several downsides. As a non-surgical treatment, Morpheus8 provides results that last while maintaining a more natural appearance.
What Affects the Duration of Morpheus8 Results?
Several factors influence the duration of benefits after a Morpheus8 treatment. The good news is that you can take active steps toward prolonging your results.
Even for factors beyond your control, knowing them can help guide your decisions. Ideally, your specialist will provide individualized advice to help prolong your results.
Factors You Can Control
Touch-up Sessions
Following your initial treatment, you can expect to see dramatic results. But when those fade, you can easily restore them with a touch-up treatment. By having routine touch-ups, you only need a visit every few months. But this can provide longer-term benefits.
Your specialist will recommend an ideal timeframe for your touch-up treatments. Some patients may require a touch-up every 3 months, while others can go up to a year or longer without needing one. It depends on your age, skin type, and desired results.
Number of Treatments
Patients who undergo only a single treatment session may experience shorter-lived results. It typically takes a few visits to complete a full regimen. For most patients, the sweet spot is between 2 and 5 sessions.
Your specialist will recommend the ideal number of treatments for you. Following through with the full regimen will be worthwhile.
Lifestyle Factors
Your lifestyle will significantly impact the duration of your results. The rule of thumb is to live an overall healthy lifestyle. But take special care with factors such as:
- Sun Exposure: Sun and UV exposure rapidly age the skin. Even short periods outdoors without protection can cause damage to skin cells, which leads to premature aging. Always use sunscreen, especially on days with a higher UV index.
- Smoking & Drinking: Smoking tobacco has a long list of negative effects. Aging your skin stands out among those. Likewise, excessive alcohol consumption can counteract your Morpheus8 results.
- Dehydration: Healthy skin starts with hydration. Without enough water, your Morpheus8 results will hit a big obstacle.
- Skin Care: A proper skin care regimen is crucial for maintaining Morpheus8 results. However, finding that ideal regimen can prove difficult. We recommend consulting a dermatologist to develop a personalized daily routine tailored to your skin’s unique needs. Using suboptimal products could actually work against your skin.
Your Specialist
An experienced specialist will provide a higher-quality treatment than an inexperienced one. Additionally, doctors with in-depth knowledge of the treatment area will be better equipped to address those specific concerns.
For example, an oculoplastic surgeon, also known as an eye or eyelid surgeon, will prove ideal for facial rejuvenation. A body surgeon may prove better for treating other areas. Higher-quality treatments tend to yield results that last longer and look better.
Factors Outside of Your Control (But to Keep in Mind)
Age
Morpheus8 is suitable for adult patients of almost any age. However, the duration and significance of the results can vary. A patient in their 30s may see longer-lasting benefits due to already having more collagen. A patient in their 60s will still see notable improvements. However, they may not last as long.
Skin Type
Each person’s skin responds differently to Morpheus8. Your specialist should evaluate your skin before the treatment. This way, they can give you an idea of what results to expect. If your skin type may not benefit as much from Morpheus8, they may recommend an alternative. Alternatives can include laser or light therapies.
Area Treated
While you do have control over which area to treat, your body determines the rate of skin turnover. Areas with slower skin turnover should show results that last longer. Areas with higher skin turnover can yield different results in terms of longevity.
