Microneedling

How does microneedling work?

Syosset Medi Spa uses the InMode Morpheus8 and Morpheus8 Body for all microneedling procedures. Morpheus8 offers you younger-looking, smoother skin without invasive surgery or downtime.

Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency microneedling technology that reaches 8 mm under your skin. At this depth, Morpheus8 stimulates your body’s natural collagen formation; it can remodel fat cells and tissue beneath your skin.

Each session’s length will depend on your treatment area but typically lasts around 30 minutes.

Morpheus8 also has a minimal risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkened skin) after the procedure. You can expect little to no heat damage, even if you have sensitive or darker skin.

What skin concerns can microneedling address?

Morpheus8 treats all areas of your body, including your face and neck. Microneedling reduces the appearance of:

• Wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Stretch marks
• Surgical scars
• Dark spots
• Large pores

Microneedling can also help with medical conditions like alopecia areata (hair loss due to an autoimmune disease) and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

At your initial Syosset Medi Spa consultation, share all your skin concerns with the team to help them create a personalized treatment plan. Expect revitalized, brighter, firmer skin after your procedure.

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

Most patients typically see results after one to three sessions, which the team spaces four weeks apart. The number of sessions you need will depend on how your skin reacts to the initial treatment and how severe your skin’s laxity is.

You could notice changes in the appearance of your skin within a few days, and improvements should continue for up to three months after treatment.

What happens after a microneedling treatment?

Minimal downtime will be needed after the Morpheus8 procedure. You could notice redness and swelling in the treated area. This should ease after a week or so.

You should apply moisturizer regularly to the treated area and avoid direct sun exposure for several days. It’s beneficial to consistently use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on your face every day.

You can apply makeup in one to two days after your treatment.
