Microneedling – Collagen Induction Therapy NYC

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a cosmetic treatment used to address various skin conditions. The technique involves using a pen-like device comprised of micro sterile needles on the skin. When pressed on to the skin, it creates controlled, microscopic injuries, which stimulates collagen. While the micro-channels are open, a Microneedling solution is topically applied and pushed into the skin to further promote healing and enhance the anti-aging benefits.

Morpheus8 is unlike any other microneedling treatment. Morpheus8 is different because its needles reach a greater depth of 4mm (opposed to 3mm), allowing it to reach the skin’s foundational structure. Additionally, Morpheus8 includes radiofrequency – the energy that gently heats subdermal adipose tissue for more profound tightening and toning.

The latest innovative technology in microneedling treatment, Morpheus8 delivers the deepest fractional treatments available, penetrating subdermal tissue up to 7mm. The ability to target tissue sequentially at three levels allows for more dramatic results at a much faster rate. It also minimizes skin injury, increases treatment uniformity, and enables customized full-body fractional procedures.

Morpheus8 treatment is safe on skin types, up to and including VI, with little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) which is a common risk with other resurfacing methods. When performed by a trained and experienced Morpheus8 provider, you can significantly improve skin tone, texture, and tightness, delivering healthy, glowing skin from the inside, and out.

Morpheus8 is ideal for any areas that have been affected by the natural aging process, overexposure to the sun or existing skin conditions. Treatable areas include the face, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, knees, chin, and any areas that have stretch marks or post-surgical scarring, although the most requested areas are face, neck, décolletage and hands. Due to the small Microneedling tip, we find it especially beneficial for small areas around the eyes and lips to help with crepiness, dark circles and smoker’s lines. Stretch marks and surgical scars on the body can also be diminished with Morpheus8 Microneedling.

We use a growth factor and cytokine solution formulated with a hyaluronic abase. No harmful ingredients such as parabens, sulfates and dyes are used as seen in other microneedling solutions.

During a Morpheus8 treatment, your medical provider applies a topical anesthetic to decrease the sensation of the microneedles and radiofrequency penetration. The provider will then use the tip of a handheld applicator that houses several microneedles, powered with radiofrequency. When the applicator is pressed against the skin for a few seconds, energy is inserted through the needles. Think of the motion like a stamping technique, rather than one continuous movement across the treatment area.

Morpheus8 is FDA-approved as a subdermal adipose remodeling device (SAND) to fractionally remodel and re-contour the face and body. Safely penetrating deep into the skin and fat, the Morpheus8 device sculpts the face and body for a smoother, sleeker and younger appearance.

Incorporating PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) – your own blood plasma – is another great option t
