5 Signs of Facial Aging We Can Reverse With Morpheus8 

Time affects everything. Classic cars break down, rocks erode, and buildings crumble, so it’s no surprise that your body changes as it ages too. 

You feel the effects in your joints, muscles, vision, and hearing, but you can conceal most of those aging issues and keep your exact age a secret. Your skin, on the other hand, shrivels and droops, effectively shouting to the world that you’re old.

People have been trying to reverse these outward signs of aging for centuries. A solid skin care routine and a healthy lifestyle can help you fend off the inevitable for a while, but eventually, everyone begins to see the telltale signs of a long life. 

If creams and serums don’t work, and plastic surgery is an extreme you’d like to avoid, you’re in luck. Morpheus8® can correct your facial flaws without medication and invasive procedures, and Brooklyn Aesthetics is the place to get it. 

Here in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, Dr. Boris Itskovich explains what time does to your skin and how Morpheus8 can reverse the effects so you can keep your age a secret.

What aging does to your skin

A combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence how time affects your skin.

Intrinsic aging refers to the natural aging process, which begins in your mid-20s. During this time, you start producing less collagen — a protein that gives your skin firmness and strength. You also produce less elastin, which gives your skin its stretchability. Your skin becomes thinner and less resilient, leading to fine lines and wrinkles.

On the other hand, extrinsic aging stems from external factors like sun exposure, smoking, pollution, and diet. Excessive sun exposure, for example, can lead to photoaging, which makes your skin rough, discolored, and freckled. It also accelerates the development of deep wrinkles and fine lines.

The loss of facial fat and bone density also contributes to your aging face. Fat and bone structure give your face its signature shape, but with the constant tug of time and gravity, these losses lead to sagging skin, hollow cheeks and eyes, and a less defined jawline.

The science behind Morpheus8

Brighton Aesthetics offers numerous treatment options to help reverse the signs of facial aging, including Morpheus8.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling and radiofrequency to rejuvenate your skin from within. It delivers the deepest treatment available, gently heating your subdermal tissues to 8mm under the surface. 

By penetrating the deep layers of your skin and fat, Morpheus8 triggers an internal response that restarts your collagen production, remodels your skin’s inner structure, and contours your face. 

Morpheus8 — the great multitasker

There’s a lot to love about Morpheus8, like its minimally invasive nature, collagen-restoring properties, and long-lasting results. But we think its best feature is its ability to tackle so many facial flaws at once. Here are five of the most common skin complaints Morpheus8 addresses.

1. Sagging skin

We mentioned that your skin loses elasticity when it slows or stops its collagen and elastin production. The good news is that Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production to lift and tighten your skin.

2. Lines and wrinkles

Expression lines and wrinkles are inevitable in aging, but Morpheus8’s microneedling and radiofrequency technology plumps up your skin and smooths out these lines.

3. Acne scars

Acne scars become more noticeable with age as your skin loses its ability to regenerate. Morpheus8’s microneedling process breaks up old scar tissue and reduces the scars' appearance by promoting new skin cell growth.

4. Rough skin texture

Over time, your skin becomes rough and dull due to decreased cell turnover and damage from environmental factors. Morpheus8 restores your skin's smooth texture by promoting cell turnover and reducing damage.

5. Unwanted fat deposits

Aging can lead to unwanted fat deposits, such as a double chin. Morpheus8’s radiofrequency technology targets these areas, reducing the fat and contouring your face.

Aging is a natural process, but that doesn't mean you have to accept the negative effects on your self-esteem and appearance. With Morpheus8, you can combat the signs of facial aging, restoring your youthful appearance and confidence.
