Should I Choose Morpheus8 or FaceTite?

Morpheus8 vs. FaceTite

Both Morpheus8 and FaceTite are cutting-edge skin treatments, but they serve different purposes and have unique methods of action. Below is a detailed comparison to help you understand the distinctions:

Technique:

• Morpheus8: It combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Microneedling involves creating tiny pricks on the skin which stimulates the healing process and collagen production, and radiofrequency further augments this process by delivering heat to the underlying layers of the skin.
• FaceTite: FaceTite is a more focused approach where radiofrequency energy is delivered subdermally, directly to the deep layers beneath the skin’s surface. This involves a small probe that goes under the skin to precisely target and heat tissues.

Target Areas and Concerns:

• Morpheus8: Morpheus8 is versatile and is aimed at overall skin rejuvenation. It can address a wide range of skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, mild to moderate skin laxity, and fine lines and wrinkles.
• FaceTite: FaceTite is more targeted for advanced skin tightening and tissue shrinking. It is particularly beneficial for those who have sagging skin and are seeking a significant lift and contouring effect without undergoing surgery.

Ideal Candidates:

• Morpheus8: Suitable for a broad range of individuals looking for general skin improvement.
• FaceTite: Best for individuals with moderate to severe skin laxity who are contemplating surgical options but would prefer a less invasive alternative.

Invasiveness:

• Morpheus8: It is minimally invasive and acts primarily on the surface and just below the surface of the skin.
• FaceTite: Semi-invasive. It requires the insertion of a probe beneath the skin, making it more invasive than Morpheus8 but still less invasive than surgery.

Effectiveness and Results:

• Morpheus8: It provides gradual improvements in the skin’s texture, tone, and firmness. The results are subtler and may require multiple sessions.
• FaceTite: It provides more dramatic skin tightening results, with about a 70% reduction in tissue and substantial improvement in skin firmness. It’s closer to the results you would expect from a surgical facelift.

How to choose between Morpheus8 and FaceTite

Certainly, it can be challenging to decide which treatment is best for your specific skin concerns. To recap, here’s a simplified guide for choosing between Morpheus8 and FaceTite based on your skin goals:

Morpheus8:

• Ideal For: Those who are seeking an overall skin rejuvenation. It’s great for improving skin texture, reducing acne scarring, or lightening dark spots. It’s also suitable for mild to moderate skin tightening, especially if you prefer subtler results.
• Type of Results: Morpheus8 offers a wide range of benefits, including a more even skin tone, smoother texture, and a subtle, natural-looking lift and tightening effect.
• Best For: People with uneven skin texture, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and mild to moderate sagging.

FaceTite:

• Ideal For: Individuals who have specific areas they want to target, particularly if there is moderate sagging or jowling. This is for those seeking a more significant lift and contouring effect.
• Type of Results: More dramatic and targeted tightening and contouring of the skin, closer to what might be achieved with surgery but less invasive.
• Best For: People with good skin texture and quality, but who have specific areas with excess tissue or sagging skin that they want to address, such as under the chin.

A Combination Approach:

For some individuals, a combination of Morpheus8 and FaceTite may be the best approach, especially if you are looking for overall skin rejuvenation along with targeted tightening in certain areas.

It is essential to have a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon at Centre for Surgery who can assess your skin and discuss your goals. They will be able to offer personalised advice and suggest the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments for your specific needs. Your skin type, age, and overall health are also important factors that will be taken into consideration.

Before and After FaceTite and Morpheus8 Skin Treatments

Before and after photos can be incredibly insightful for individuals considering skin treatments like FaceTite and Morpheus8. These photos can give you a realistic understanding of the results you can expect from each treatment.

FaceTite: In the before and after photos below for FaceTite, it’s evident that there is a more targeted and significant improvement in the area below the chin. FaceTite is particularly effective for those looking to address sagging or excess tissue in a specific area, and as seen in the photo, it can have a dramatic effect in contouring the neck and jawline.

Morpheus8: On the other hand, the Morpheus8 photos below demonstrate a more subtle, but overall rejuvenation of the skin. The fine lines are less noticeable, the texture of the skin appears smoother and there is some tightening effect as well. This is consistent with what Morpheus8 aims to achieve as it works to improve various aspects of skin quality.
