The Benefits of Microneedling and Radiofrequency Treatments
Microneeding is a type of technology that employs a matrix of small needles to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. This type of treatment creates channels in the subdermal areas of the skin, which triggers the body’s collagen-production reflex.
Moreover, during radiofrequency (RF) therapy, the energy released by the device heats up the skin, stimulating the remodeling of tissue as well as collagen and elastin production. Fractional RF treatments like Vivace and Morpheus 8 combine microneeding and radiofrequency treatments in order to eliminate visible imperfections and trigger the body’s natural repair response.

Comparing Vivace and Morpheus 8
Despite the fact that they use the same technology, there are major differences between Vivace and Morpheus 8.
Vivace was designed to target wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines in the face, neck, and hands. It can also be used on other parts of the body, but these areas tend to have thicker skin so the results may not be as noticeable. Moreover, Vivace has a powerful 70-watt adjustable RF distributor and 36 gold-tip with insulated needles that go as deep as 3.5 millimeters, which provides optimal results on the face and neck areas.
Morpheus 8 is among the newest fractional RF devices with FDA approval. This device uses 4-millimeter needles that provide unparalleled treatment depth, making it ideal for the face, neck, abdomen, and other parts of the body. Morpheus 8 helps patients contour difficult to treat areas while improving skin health at the same time. In some cases, patients report slight discomfort during this procedure, but its robust mechanical motor allows Dr. Hellman to set satisfactory levels to treat all types of skin as comfortably as possible.
