Battling Acne – It’s Tough But Possible
If you’ve ever had to grapple with acne, you’ll know it can be a real pain to manage. Even for those of us in the skincare industry, there’s no universal solution for acne that’s effective for everyone. Typically, we have to recommend a combination of treatments and skincare products, some of which will work, and some might not. It can be a bit like playing a guessing game, but with perseverance, we can make progress.

For those with acne-prone skin, you’re likely aware that it can sometimes dent your self-esteem, which is something we wouldn’t wish on anyone. Moreover, acne can be physically painful, annoying, and a significant distraction (anyone who’s experienced cystic acne can attest to its disruptive power).
We want to help you feel your best, enabling you to focus on all the essential things you need to achieve without having to worry about your acne. We get really excited whenever we find new ways to combat those troublesome breakouts and prevent them from recurring. So, it’s with great pleasure that we introduce you to our latest ally in the fight against acne: Morpheus8.
Understanding Acne
So, what exactly is acne? Acne primarily occurs when our pores get blocked with dirt, oil, and even dead skin cells. There’s a particular bacterium called Cutibacterium, which is the main culprit behind acne. This bacteria thrives on the dirt and oil on our faces, and its activities result in inflammation. This inflammation manifests as pimples and other skin issues that we collectively refer to as acne.
RELATED: What Causes Acne?
Some people have larger pores or skin that’s more prone to producing excessive oil. When this is combined with dirt and whatever else is in the air and comes into contact with our skin on a daily basis, the result is often acne. It could manifest as regular pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or other forms – none of which are particularly desirable on our faces or any other part of our bodies.
However, acne isn’t solely about blocked pores and bacteria; hormonal imbalances can also trigger it. Pregnancy is a prime example. You could be someone who’s never had acne, and then suddenly, during pregnancy, it appears. The good news in such cases is that once you’re no longer pregnant and your hormones settle back to their usual levels, your acne will likely disappear, especially if you weren’t prone to acne before your pregnancy. However, other hormonal changes, like those associated with menstrual cycles, can cause recurring acne flare-ups that might persist over the long term.
The Acne-Fighting Power of Morpheus8
So, you may be wondering, what makes Morpheus8 so effective in treating acne? What’s the secret behind this treatment’s success?
Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that Morpheus8 is more than just an acne treatment. It’s a skin tightening and resurfacing treatment that combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Unlike traditional microneedling treatments, Morpheus8 can penetrate the skin at varying depths, reaching as deep as 4-5 mm.
But in simple terms, the magic of Morpheus8 lies in its ability to halt the acne-causing bacteria in its tracks. It not only eradicates this bacteria as it ablates the skin tissue, but it also targets and gradually shuts down the oil glands lying just beneath the skin’s surface. By doing so, it interferes with the entire process that triggers acne right from the start. When there’s no excess oil production for the acne-causing bacteria to feast on, the result is no inflammation and, therefore, no pimples. Voila! It’s pretty impressive, right?
Morpheus8 for Acne Scars
Morpheus8 is remarkably effective for treating not just acne scarring, but a variety of scars in general. The magic of Morpheus8 lies in its foundation as a microneedling treatment. What it does is create tiny abrasions in your skin, which stimulates your body’s wound healing response. This natural healing process triggers your body to produce more collagen and elastin, and to generate new, healthy skin cells.
Therefore, Morpheus8 works wonders in healing and reducing the appearance of scars and any other textural irregularities in the skin. The noticeable improvements, especially following a series of treatments, testify to the effectiveness of this innovative approach to managing acne scarring.
The Many Benefits of Morpheus8
When you’re seeking a treatment for a specific skin issue, it’s often the case that you might have a few other skin concerns that you’d like to address at the same time. Perhaps you’re thinking, “If I’m getting my acne treated, it’d be fantastic to tighten up some of this loose skin too, right?”
Well, that’s one of the many reasons we’re head over heels for Morpheus8. This versatile treatment can tackle a broad range of skin concerns for all skin types.
At its core, Morpheus8 stimulates collagen and elastin production in your body and promotes the turnover of new, healthy skin cells. The result of this is a tightening and firming effect on your skin, particularly in areas where it tends to sag or droop the most. Moreover, you’ll also notice improvements in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Morpheus8 is also helpful for issues such as hyperpigmentation and even stretch marks.
And here’s the icing on the cake: did you know Morpheus8 also has the ability to remodel and contour any part of your face, neck, and body? Indeed, the innovative technology behind this treatment targets the connective tissue just below the skin’s surface, endowing it with this unique remodelling capability.
Treating Acne with Morpheus8: How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Sadly, we’re yet to discover a magical solution that wipes out acne overnight. Our experience suggests that the best results with Morpheus8 are typically achieved with a course of 3 treatments, each spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. And once you see the results, you’ll find they are simply fantastic.
Some of our patients discover that they only need an annual treatment to keep their acne in check, as long as they maintain a diligent skincare routine. (Never underestimate the power of great skincare!) There are a fortunate few who manage to banish their acne permanently. While this outcome is less common, it’s certainly not beyond the realm of possibility.
If you’ve been battling to find a treatment that can help with your acne, Morpheus8 might be exactly the breakthrough you’ve been hoping for. Not sure if it’s the right option for you? We always conduct our consultations with expert clinicians, so do come in and discuss your skin goals with us. We’re here to help guide you towards the best solution for your skin.
