Acne scars can leave lasting reminders on the skin long after breakouts have faded. These marks, often deep and uneven, can undermine confidence and prove challenging to treat with topical solutions alone. At Sunder Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sarmela Sunder offers a sophisticated solution: Morpheus8. This advanced, FDA-approved treatment blends microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to resurface, tighten, and rejuvenate skin with remarkable precision and minimal downtime.
Let’s explore how Morpheus8 targets acne scars and helps reveal clearer, smoother skin.
How Morpheus8 Works
Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that uses a matrix of microneedles to penetrate the skin's deeper layers while delivering RF energy. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen and elastin production in the subdermal layers of the skin, triggering a natural healing response. The process remodels scar tissue, refines texture, and lifts the skin from within.
Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 goes beyond the superficial layers to reach the deeper structures responsible for skin laxity and scarring. This makes it especially effective for treating acne scars that sit beneath the skin's surface.
Benefits of Morpheus8 for Acne Scars
Morpheus8 provides a powerful option for patients seeking smoother, more even skin without surgery. Its benefits include:
- Collagen regeneration: Stimulates the body’s natural healing process, reducing the depth and severity of acne scars.
- Improved skin texture: Smooths rough, uneven patches and softens pitted scars.
- Skin tightening: Firms skin that has lost elasticity due to past acne damage.
- Minimal downtime: Patients can typically resume daily activities within a day or two.
- Safe for all skin tones: Unlike some laser treatments, Morpheus8 carries a low risk of hyperpigmentation, even for darker skin types.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each Morpheus8 session at Sunder Plastic Surgery begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. After numbing, the treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Patients can expect:
- Topical numbing: Applied for approximately 30 minutes to ensure comfort.
- Treatment duration: Ranges from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area.
- Mild side effects: Redness, swelling, or itching may occur within the first 24 to 48 hours.
- Downtime: Most patients resume daily activities within a day or two.
- Visible improvements: Begin to show in about a week, with full results developing over 3–6 months.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
Morpheus8 results can last several months to a year, depending on your skin condition and lifestyle. A series of treatments may be recommended for best results, along with occasional maintenance sessions.
Dr. Sunder customizes each treatment to your unique needs, using advanced depth and energy settings to deliver natural-looking improvements in skin tone and texture.
