Morpheus8 refers to an innovative, sub-dermal, adipose remodeling, radio-frequency (RF) device. This system fractionally remodels and sculpts the face and body. The device delivers instant outcomes for patients. 

It offers more even, symmetrical, long-lasting, and consistent results by treating both the subcutaneous fatty layers and superficial skin layers. 

Board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Eric Yavrouian provides Morpheus8 to patients in Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Greater Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.

Fractionated RF Energy

Morpheus8 is a stand-out innovation that delivers fractionated RF energy into sub-dermal tissue. In general, similar bipolar RF technologies that are available to patients work only on the superficial skin layers. Patients may not be open to considering a surgical procedure to address the sub-dermal tissue for moderate and severe cases of wrinkles and sagginess. 

But Morpheus8 safely passes the epidermis to deliver bi-polar RF energy to the sub-dermal and deeper sub-cutaneous layers. This offers beautiful and sustainable outcomes. 

Minimally Invasive 

A key benefit is that it can be undertaken in combination with other surgical and non-surgical treatments, for instance, dermal fillers. Morpheus8 is increasingly becoming popular among patients who seek minimal downtime and subtle outcomes. 

The programmable penetration, depth, and energy delivery allow Morpheus8 to be ideal for the treatment of wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, and general skin tone. 

The device comprises 24 silicone-coated pins to penetrate into the sub-dermal tissue, tightening fat, and constricting connective tissue. It has been scientifically proven that fractionated RF energy reduces wrinkles while restoring collagen and fat. 

Safety

Morpheus8 can deliver energy at depths of 200, 300, and 400 microns with a very even effect. There is little to no thermal damage to the surface of the skin. Bi-polar technology is arguably safer than mono-polar because of the manner in which the energy passes through the poles. 

On top of this, the combination of its silicone-insulated shafts and long needles make the device safer for use on all types of skin with negligible risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which commonly occurs with other resurfacing procedures. 

Morpheus8 can be used in any area that can benefit from sub-dermal rejuvenation. The most commonly treated sites are the neck and lower face.

If Morpheus8 and Facetite (which is a minimally-invasive face and neck contouring device that has received FDA-clearance for its safety and efficacy profile) are used in combination, it effectively treats skin laxity through differential tissue and 3-dimensional remodeling, which is the next best thing after traditional facelift surgery.  

Benefits of Morpheus8

• Promotes collagen production
• Extremely consistent effect
• Safe on all skin types
• Deep and safe fractional treatment
• Little risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), which commonly occurs with other resurfacing techniques
• Penetrating 4000 microns with an additional thermal profile of 1000+ microns
• Little to no thermal damage to the dermis

While the most commonly treated sites include the neck and lower face, Morpheus8 is an effective procedure for any area that exhibits discoloration, wrinkles, acne scarring, and stretch marks. 

The results may differ between patients, and contraindications may be applicable. The patient may require two to three treatment sessions for optimal outcomes.

Various factors, such as sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and the aging process, can greatly impact the skin, particularly in the face, neck, and jowls. The FaceTite procedure is an effective non-surgical solution for people who want to appear as young as they feel.

FaceTite Overview

FaceTite refers to a minimally-invasive contouring treatment for the face and other small areas of the body. It is a safe, predictable, and innovative treatment that offers significant aesthetic improvements to patients. The RFAL (Radio Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) technology, which involves the three-dimensional re-contouring of the tissue, forms the basis of FaceTite. 

After a facelift, FaceTite is the next best thing. The treatment has built-in safeguards, such as power cut-off, impedance monitoring, real-time measurements of fat and skin temperature, and audible feedback to ensure the safety of the patient. 

FaceTite by InMode provides patients with a rejuvenated and youthful appearance without significant scarring or a prolonged recovery period. Peer-reviewed clinical studies indicate that patients experience up to 36 percent tissue contraction after FaceTite treatment, creating a well-sculpted facial appearance. 

FaceTite can effectively be used in any area above the shoulders. However, it is recommended for the skin in around the following areas: 

• Jowls
• Neck
• Mouth
• Forehead
• Brow
• Nasolabial folds
• Jawline
• Eyes
• Cheeks

Advantages

• Directional thermal field assists in fat coagulation and tissue remodeling. 
• Dual temperature technologies offer more safety and control compared to other technologies.
• 100 percent concentration of energy in the treatment site.

Technology

FaceTite is based on technology that consists of a non-aspirating cannula with a plastic end tip. This allows the procedure to be done safely in the sub-dermal plane. 

Computer-controlled RF energy heats the skin. This technology has been used in MRI machines and other medical equipment for over 75 years. 

A major advantage of FaceTite is that most patients need only one treatment session to accomplish their desired outcomes. FaceTite is an outpatient procedure and does not involve general anesthesia. For this reason, it can be performed and completed in a single day. 

Expected Results

These procedures are transformational for facial skin, making it tighter, smoother, and more youthful looking. Patients experience a dramatic reduction in signs of aging on the face almost immediately. 

They will experience a significant reduction in fat as well as a dramatic improvement in the tautness of the skin. In addition, this procedure does not lead to the irregular, lumpy appearance that is sometimes associated with liposuction.

The results of the procedure will last for up to five years. Subsequently, the skin will continue to age in a natural way. The genetics of the patient and their lifestyle choices will also affect the longevity of the procedure. 

Recovery 

Recovering from FaceTite is very low-impact with no involvement of an overnight hospital stay, and sutures as well as almost no post-treatment bruising or scarring. 

The treatment only involves local anesthesia. Therefore, many risks and prolonged recovery associated with traditional invasive surgery are completely eliminated. Instead, patients usually undergo minimal pain and a short recovery period. 

FaceTite is meant to treat fragile skin without causing any cellular tissue damage. The applicator device comprises in-built thermal controls for complete safety of the patient.

Juvederm dermal filler treatment provides a safe, predictable, and non-surgical way to rejuvenate facial skin as well as mitigate aging signs on the face. 

In this procedure, Juvederm gel is injected into targeted facial areas using small injections to address wrinkles and fine lines. 

During the pre-treatment consultation, the injection provider may showcase Juvederm before and after pictures to the patient. After viewing these images, the patient can better understand the potential results of the filler treatment and make an enlightened choice.

Developing a Rapport with New Patients

Juvederm before and after photos enables the treatment provider to create a connection with new patients more effectively. What’s sensational is that these images can be seen anywhere on the planet. You don’t need 5G to see these images, you only need access to the Internet. 

These images help the patient understand how Juvederm injectable treatment made a positive change in the facial appearance of other patients, and see how it can potentially do the same for them. 

Juvederm before and after photos offer visual proof to new patients and help foster an environment of trust and transparency between the treatment provider and the new patient. Dr. Yavrouian is a proponent of truth and honest and he allows his work to speak for him. 

This is why his website has an excellent before and after gallery so anyone can see these images and judge for themselves if this is something they want to sign up for. 

Photos offer Conclusive Proof

In comparison to words, Juvederm ‘before and after’ images can present the real tale in a more effective manner. Sometimes words can be difficult to understand and open to interpretation.

On the other hand, the barriers of language do not impact pictures. Images do not exaggerate the true story. However, the treatment provider should be careful to not modify or edit these images in any manner as this can be misleading to the patient. 

The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” is certainly true in the case of before and after pictures of cosmetic procedures such as Juvederm dermal filler treatment. What is even more germane to this topic or as germane is that these images are digital which means the clarity is superlative.

No more having to rely on Polaroid images in a picture book that left more to be desired. Digital images have changed the world. 

Educating People through Presence on Social Media 

Social media forums enjoy universal popularity in today’s times. This has created new avenues for sharing before and after images of cosmetic procedures, such as Juvederm injections. 

Social picture sharing platforms, such as Instagram, boast of almost one billion active users on a monthly basis. 

Cosmetic and dermatology professionals can harness the massive appeal of these online media forums to promote effective and innovative facial rejuvenation procedures. The information sharing opportunities that these sites present to share details on the best locally available treatments are unforeseen. 

Distributing Juvederm before and after images through such channels can play a pivotal role in educating thousands of people in the target audience on such unique treatments.  

Ensuring that Expectations are Reasonable

While Juvederm dermal filler injections offer patients significant facial skin rejuvenation, the outcomes may still not be comparable to the results of facial plastic surgery, such as a facelift. 

Prior to proceeding with the treatment, the patient should have complete clarity on what these injections can and cannot do for them.

Patients with realistic expectations are better positioned to appreciate the final outcomes. Attaining complete clarity on the outcomes of the treatments also helps avoid any risk of future disappointments for the patient at a time when it may be difficult to reverse the outcomes.

Juvederm dermal filler treatment has become one of the most sought-after procedures over the years for people looking to reduce signs of aging on the face in a non-surgical way. 

The treatment provider will explain various aspects of Juvederm filler treatment to the patient during the initial consultation, including its estimated costs. 

The main objective of the injection provider will be to assist the patient in making a judicious decision after gaining complete clarity on the various facets of the treatment, which includes deliberation on its cost implications.

Comparison of Costs

In comparison to facial cosmetic surgery and procedures involving ultrasound and laser, Juvederm injections are more cost-effective. The time taken to administer the injections is approximately 20 to 30 minutes. 

Additionally, there is usually no need for lab tests, prescription drugs, and anesthesia associated with this treatment. Juvederm also offers more sustainable outcomes relative to other soft tissue filler treatments. 

The results of most dermal filler treatments sustain for nearly six months. However, Juvederm outcomes can last for up to a year, which makes this treatment more cost effective compared to other non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures. 

Cost Factors

Juvederm costs typically vary between patients and practices. The location of a specific practice has an effect on treatment costs. 

The cost of living and operations in main urban centers and prime cities are usually higher than such costs in smaller towns located in interior regions.

This aspect affects the costs of products and services in different areas, including the cost of cosmetic procedures such as Juvederm dermal filler treatment. Additionally, the qualifications, certifications, and experience of the injection provider also impact the overall treatment costs. 

Cost Evaluation

Juvederm fillers are available in various syringe sizes to address the unique requirements of different facial areas. Smaller facial sites require lesser quantities of gel, which reduces the total costs of the treatment. The patient, for instance, may need only one to two Juvederm syringes for the treatment of smile lines in the lip area. 

The patient may need smaller and less expensive syringes for the treatment of finer lines surrounding the lips. During the pre-treatment consultation, the patient should thoroughly understand the costs and other aspects of Juvederm from the treatment provider. 

Additionally, the patient should compare the costs of Juvederm with other of other filler treatments to make a judicious choice. 

In case the patient chooses to receive Juvederm with another cosmetic procedure, they may be eligible for some rebates depending on the practice’s policies. At times, the Juvederm manufacturer may also offer promotional rates, which the patient can benefit from.

Insurance and Financing

Patients typically undergo Juvederm filler treatment as an elective cosmetic procedure. For this reason, they will likely not receive insurance coverage for this injectable procedure. 

Patients can explore various financing alternatives such as private loans, credit cards, bank loans, and financing through medical care financing companies to offset the costs of the treatment.

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid (HA) based filler, which is meant to restore and refill naturally occurring HA to areas where it has been depleted. 

The type of Juvederm chosen will depend on the location and severity of the patient’s wrinkles, creases, and volume loss.

Juvederm Vollure XC 

Juvederm Vollure XC plumps the skin and addresses moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face. The results of this filler treatment sustain for up to 18 months, which is longer than any other Juvederm product. Additionally, Juvederm Vollure XC also tends to have less pain and inflammation associated with it. 

Juvederm Volbella XC

FDA-approved Juvederm Volbella XC dermal filler is meant specifically for the lips and surrounding areas. The filler comprises a gel that when injected, corrects the lip lines and wrinkles while the HA maintains moisture. 

The outcomes can last for one year. Juvederm Volbella XC injections contain a local anesthetic. Therefore, treatment tends to be more convenient.  

Juvederm Voluma XC

While volume loss is a natural part of aging, people experiencing this problem do not have to sit back and accept depleted cheeks and loose skin that are associated with it. 

Juvederm Voluma XC dermal filler gel is injected deep into the cheek area. It adds fullness underneath the surface of the skin, offering a lift and developing a more youthful definition. 

With a single treatment, patients report to looking up to five years younger! Juvederm Voluma XC is proven to sustain for up to two years. Patients who choose to undergo repeat treatment after two years usually need less product to get the same outstanding outcomes. 

Juvederm Ultra XC

Loss of volume in the lips can age the face, regardless of how smooth and wrinkle-free the skin is. Some people have always desired fuller lips. Irrespective of the reasons for wanting more voluptuous lips, Juvederm Ultra XC can help patients achieve this goal. 

Juvederm Ultra XC dermal filler is meant for lip enhancement and perioral rejuvenation. It offers a natural-looking fullness to the lips while simultaneously reducing the appearance of vertical lip lines. After Juvederm Ultra XC, lips appear fuller, natural, and beautiful. 

Clinical trials indicate that after Juvederm Ultra XC injections, 79 percent of subjects displayed major improvement in lip volume. 

In addition, over 78 percent of subjects reported that they love the appearance and feel of their lips at one year following the treatment. Juvederm Ultra XC outcomes can last for up to a year!

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC 

Some patients seek slight enhancement, while others may want more dramatic changes. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC may be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to more significant changes. 

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a thicker form of the cosmetic injection, and it is delivered deep within the skin. It is slightly more dense and stronger than Juvederm Ultra XC. This filler can be used in the perioral areas as well as other sites. 

The primary difference between Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and other Juvederm products is the viscosity. In Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, the higher viscosity offers more fullness, more lift, and more dramatic outcomes. The use of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC depends on the location and severity of the wrinkles and creases in the face.

The face is one of the most prominent and cosmetically complex areas of the body, with various facial features that must appear harmonious with each other. 

Any cosmetic surgery procedure pertaining to the face should only be undertaken by an experienced surgeon who has received exclusive training in surgical procedures related to the face. 

Fellowship trained facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, Dr. Eric J. Yavrouian offers advanced facial surgery procedures.

Qualities of a Good Facial Plastic Surgeon 

A patient should seek the following qualities when choosing a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon:

• Professional manner, candid approach, and easy to talk to
• Committed to make a difference in the patients’ lives through cosmetic surgery
• Inherently understands the patients’ expectations, aspirations, goals, and concerns
• Has an intimate knowledge of the facial anatomy
• Possesses a natural sense of art and aesthetics as well as an eye for proportion, form, balance, and beauty

A facial cosmetic surgeon should be able to present before and after pictures of past patients who have undergone various facial procedures. In addition, they should be able to show new patients testimonials of previous patients as necessary.

Importance of Board Certification 

Dr. Yavrouian is a Diplomate of the American Board of Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery), which means that he is a board certified otolaryngologist. A surgeon receives this prestigious certification upon completing a specific number of years of specialized head and neck surgery training. 

Every cosmetic surgeon or even every board certified plastic surgeon may not be best qualified to undertake facial plastic surgery.

Patients should also assess the surgeon’s qualifications to check if they have any advanced training or fellowship, specifically in the area of facial plastic surgery. 

General and facial plastic surgeons should be differentiated based on their credentials, training, certifications, and experience. Lastly, the rapport between the patient and the surgeon is also a vital factor in identifying the most suitable facial plastic surgeon. 

Focus on Customization and Innovation 

Every person has unique facial characteristics. For this reason, the patient accomplishes excellent facial surgery outcomes when the surgeon individualizes their approach to suit the particular anatomical and aesthetic needs of the patient. 

Plastic surgeons who continually focus on updating their skills and knowledge by pursuing continuing education on cutting-edge techniques and technologies typically offer beautiful results to their patients.

Patients benefit the most from the use of advanced procedures as these techniques are typically an improvement over previous techniques, which make them more effective. 

The use of advanced techniques also enables procedures to be more comfortable and less invasive. These procedures also involve reduced risks and shorter recovery periods.
