What we offer at True
At True Aesthetics, our Morpheus8 RF treatments utilize state-of-the-art technology to deliver radiofrequency energy through micro channels, reaching the subdermal layers where collagen and elastin production are most beneficial. The combination of microneedling and RF energy creates a powerful synergy that enhances the skin’s natural healing processes, promoting the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers. Additinally, when deployed into the adipose tissue (fat tissue), RF can strategicaly cause lipolysis – destruction of fat cells – which can lead to more conour to the submental areas and jawline. This dual approach allows us to address a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, skin laxity, and jowling, with precision and effectiveness.

If you are acutely ill, on antibiotics, sterorid or other temporary mediations, please contact us to rebook your treatment for when you are feeling well.
What’s the process and how long will it last?
The treatment involves using microneedles that penetrate the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy to the epidermis (surface of the skin) the dermis and deep dermin (to trigger skin tightening and collagen inducation), and in some areas of the face, into the subcutaneous or fat tisse (to remodel and contour) . The appointment time is 90 minutes; when you arrive, you will have your photos taken- these are private, confidential and for your reference. Next your provider will wash your face and apply numbing- the topical numbing will remain in place for 60 min to ensure a comfortable treatment. The procedure itself takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
What is the comfort level for this procedure?
Some mild discomfort may be anticipated – we compare it to the sensation of laser hair removal. A topical high-strength lidocaine is applied x60min to ensure your comfort. Your provider will also tailor your specific treatment settings to your goals and your comfort.
How long is the recovery period and what is the aftercare?
Recovery time is relatively minimal; immediately following the procedure, expect to see redness. In rare cases, the redness may last up to 48-72h, but typically is resolved within 24h. You may also experience some skin dryness for the next 3-5days depending on your body’s natural healing process. Some individuals experience “goosebump pattern” – this is mild swelling in the pattern of the microneedles – this can be normal, and may last up to 1-2 weeks, and may occur in small patches.Typically, redness resolves by the next morning. After 24h, you may wash your face, and may feel very fine texture–this is fresh tissue, and is generally invisible to the naked eye – we ask that you treat your skn gently for the first week following your procedure to ensure propure healing.
When will I see results?
Initial results are visible within a few days, with optimal results appearing at the 1-3 month mark. More results are seen with sequential treatments. Morpheus8 triggers your own body’s collagen – this is a slow process, so take pictures and review as the day-today progresss will be subtle. Your peak collagen production occurs after 4 weeks and continues for 3 monthes following the procedure.We recommend a series of 3 treatments, to optimize your collagen production, tissue remodelling for jawline contour, and for skin rejuvenation. These treatments can be completed 4-6weeks apart.
