Yesterday we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr.Pagano at Bianca clinic and attend his special seminar and demonstration/training of Morpheus8. At Bianca Dr.Saiga is a specialist for this treatment, and he catched up with Dr.Pagano to discover new techniques and best ways to make the treatment more effective.
Dr.Pagano has more than 10 years of experience in energy assisted liposuction. He trained in prestigious international centres across Spain, Italy, Brazil and Portugal and has a special interest and an expert standing in face lifting, rhinoplasty, otoplasty, liposuction, breast augmentation or buttock lift, among other Plastic Surgery procedures.
So, what is Morpheus8? Morpheus8 is a treatment that uses 24 fine needles (microneedles) inserted into the subcutaneous tissue to deliver RF (radiofrequency) thermal energy. By intentionally creating micro-injuries in the skin’s collagen and elastin-producing tissues, it activates the skin’s natural healing abilities, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. This treatment is particularly effective for improving acne scars, other types of scars, and for addressing the reduction in skin firmness and elasticity that comes with aging.
Morpheus8 is one of the attachments of EmbraceRF, a powerful, non-surgical RF (radiofrequency) treatment that effectively tightens sagging skin. By combining treatments, it can enhance skin firmness and elasticity from within. Unlike other microneedling options like Dermapen or Potenza, Morpheus8 allows for deeper needle penetration, increasing its efficacy. Local anesthesia is used to minimize pain during EmbraceRF procedures.
