Do you want to have younger, smoother skin? Microneedling is a popular way to help your skin look great. There are two types of microneedling: traditional microneedling and Morpheus8. Let’s learn about the differences between them so you can choose the best one for you in Fort Lauderdale.
What is Traditional Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses tiny needles to make small holes in the skin. These little holes help the skin heal and produce more collagen, a protein that makes the skin firm and smooth. This treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and fade scars.
Benefits of Traditional Microneedling:
- Boosts Collagen: Helps your skin produce more collagen.
- Smooths Skin: Improves the texture and makes pores look smaller.
- Reduces Scars: Helps fade acne scars and other marks.
- Less Wrinkles: Makes fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.
- Affordable: Costs less than more advanced treatments.
Drawbacks of Traditional Microneedling:
- Surface-Level Treatment: Works mainly on the outer layers of your skin.
- Longer Recovery: Can cause more redness and irritation after treatment.
- Multiple Sessions Needed: Often takes several treatments to see results.
What is Morpheus8 Microneedling?
Morpheus8 is a new and advanced type of microneedling that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This treatment uses tiny needles to penetrate the skin deeper and deliver RF energy, which helps tighten the skin and produce even more collagen.
Benefits of Morpheus8 Microneedling:
- Deep Skin Tightening: RF energy helps tighten your skin deeply.
- More Collagen: Produces more collagen than traditional microneedling.
- Better Skin Texture: Improves overall skin texture and reduces wrinkles.
- Quick Recovery: Less redness and irritation, so you heal faster.
- Custom Treatments: Can adjust the needle depth to target specific skin issues.
Drawbacks of Morpheus8 Microneedling:
- Higher Cost: Costs more because of the advanced technology.
- Availability: May not be available everywhere.
