Dr. Greene and Holly are known throughout the South Florida community as leaders in the aesthetic field. For well over a decade, Dr. Greene and Holly have offered their patients a number of laser, radiofrequency, and focused ultrasound treatments to address aging concerns and create the most effective, natural results possible. Dr. Greene carefully evaluates all new treatments and technologies before introducing them into his practice. Morpheus8 represents one of the most exciting new treatments that they have made available to their patients.
Morpheus8 my InMode is a minimally invasive non-surgical treatment that uniquely combines microneedling with radiofrequency, which work together to build collagen and renew deeper layers of the skin with virtually no patient downtime. It is unique in that it combines the skin quality improvement from microneedling with the skin tightening and fat contouring benefits of radiofrequency energy. Because of its ability to treat deeper than previous microneedling devices, it has been recognized by the FDA as a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD). As a result, Morpheus is able to not only improve the quality of the skin, but also contour areas such as fatty necks and jowls. Radiofrequency treatments have been commonly used in facial aesthetics procedures, but the Morpheus has advanced this technology to significantly improve results and deliver safe treatments.
Morpheus8 combines both microneedling and radiofrequency technology. Microneedling uses small needles to penetrate into the skin, creating microtrauma, which promotes the skin to produce more collagen, resulting in smoother skin texture. The radiofrequency component applies heat to the skin and fat layers beneath the skin, which helps to remodel the fat layer, improving contour. Over the weeks following treatment, new collagen is formed and remodeled to continually tighten the skin.
Anyone who has concerns about the appearance of the skin on their face or body, such as wrinkles, skin laxity/sagging, sun damage, excess fat, or stretch marks is a candidate. Morpheus8 is safe to treat all skin colors and complexions, unlike many lasers. Morpheus8 is a great option for patients who aren’t quite ready for a facelift or other surgical procedure, and would like to improve their appearance, without the need for anesthesia or sedation. For patients who have already had a face or neck lift, Morpheus8 is a great way to maintain the results of surgery. And finally, Morpheus8 is a very popular option for younger patients who are looking for subtle improvements with low risk and little to no downtime.
Patients are instructed to come to their appointment with no makeup, lotions, or any other skin care products present on the areas being treated. Upon arrival, we will apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream to the areas being treated. This will help minimize any discomfort during the treatment. The duration of treatment is typically between 30-60 minutes.
Mild swelling and/or redness are somewhat common after treatment, but typically only last for 1-2 days. Mild peeling and marks from the small needles may also be visible for several days, but these are typically subtle and fade with time.

How long does it take to see results from a Morpheus8 treatment?
While some patients may see results after 3-4 weeks, improvement can continue for up to three months, since it involves the process of collagen remodeling. Over time, patients should notice improved skin texture and reduced skin laxity.
How many Morpheus8 treatments are needed?
Most patients will experience the best results with three treatments, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. However, some more problematic areas may need additional treatments.
How much downtime is there after Morpheus8 treatment?
Most patients report no downtime, as there is only mild swelling and redness after treatment that typically only lasts for 1-2 days. Mild peeling and marks from the small needles may also be visible for several days, but these are typically subtle and fade with time.
What are Exosomes?
BENEV Exosome treatments are based on the most cutting edge scientific biotech breakthrough for skin rejuvenation and regeneration. Exosomes are derived from stem cells and can be added to microneedling and Morpheus8 treatments. Many of the beneficial effects that stem cells have for skin rejuvenation actually come from secreted exosomes. We use the Benev Regenerative Complex PLUS, which is a more powerful version, consisting of 5 billion exosomes. Unlike platelet-rich plasma, a blood draw is not required for the exosome treatment.
