THE MAGIC OF MORPHEUS8
MICRONEEDLING WITH
RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
and relaxing elastic areas for a dramatic
overall rejuvenation. You can look years
younger without surgery.
Fractionated radio frequency energy is
a scientifically proven method to reduce
wrinkles and rebuild collagen and fat. It
is minimally invasive, using a matrix of
micro pins to renew deeper layers of the
skin with almost no patient downtime.
The benefit of Morpheus8’s colorblind
technology is that it can be used on all skin
types. The unique properties allow even
darker tones to be treated with little risk
of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,
which is common with other resurfacing
methods.
If you are looking to reduce the signs of
aging and are not quite ready to undergo
a more invasive treatment, Morpheus8
might be right for you. Most healthy
women and men are good candidates
for Morpheus8 treatments. Those who
are looking to smooth fine lines and
creases, improve texture and minimize

sun damage could benefit from this treatment. PureLife is poised
to be one of the leading Morpheus8 providers in Florida.
Morpheus8 can penetrate skin deeper than any other
microneedling device on the market at 4 mm, resulting in a longlasting
benefit. Since aging is an evolving process, we recommend
periodic treatments to maintain your results.
There is minimal downtime with Morpheus8. Your skin may
be red and slightly swollen for a day or two. You should be able
to reapply makeup within two days following the treatment.
Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after
three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements
continue up to three months after treatment.

technological advances to Tampa Bay. If you’re ready to experience
this modern-day fountain-of-youth, my staff at PureLife Medi-Spa

L et’s face it, those sunspots,
wrinkles and sagging chin give
away our age. For many, surgery
is not a viable option, but with
the latest breakthroughs in cosmetic
skin regeneration treatments, you can
be looking younger and more confident
in just a few weeks. The best part? You
can treat both the face and the body,
including crepey skin on the arms,
knees, buttocks and thighs. I am pleased
to share information about Morpheus8,
a new addition to the PureLife menu
of services. Morpheus8 delivers radio
frequency enhanced microneedling for
remarkable results.
The science behind Morpheus8? It’s
the small gold-tipped needles that create
small injuries in the layer of the skin
that is responsible for repair. This action
stimulates new collagen production.
Additionally, radio frequency energy is
delivered to tighten skin, break up scar
tissue and build collagen. It can not only
improve stretch marks and scars, but also diminish cellulite.
Here’s a look at some of our patients’ most popular questions
about the procedure that everybody’s talking about.
Morpheus8 is a microneedling device that utilizes radio
frequency energy to remodel and contour the face and body
via subdermal adipose remodeling. This fractional treatment
penetrates deep into the skin and fat for a smoother and sleeker
appearance. Morpheus8 can be combined with platelet rich fibrin
for optimal results. Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can
benefit from subdermal renewal. Areas of the face and body that
exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for
treatment. The most commonly treated areas include the face and
neck, as well as the abdomen, which is beneficial for tightening
loose skin with underlying fatty tissue. Morpheus8 is the latest
innovation in nonsurgical skin tightening. It works through
fractional technology for subdermal adipose remodeling. Despite
being applied externally, it offers the deepest fractional treatment.
The marriage of simple application and modern technology
allows a physician to target the different layers of a patient’s skin,
resulting in a face recontouring.
Morpheus8 can penetrate skin deeper than any other
microneedling device on the market, which allows it to stimulate
deep layers of skin and fat with a potent combination of tiny
needles and fractionated radio frequency energy. This will trigger
the skin’s natural healing response to promote tightening, lifting,
