Skin laxity, uneven texture, and stubborn lines are often considered an unavoidable part of aging and weight loss. In the past, surgery was the only option for meaningful skin tightening, leaving many patients hesitant to pursue rejuvenation. Today, advanced technology makes it possible to achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin without invasive procedures or lengthy recovery.
At Lehigh Valley Weight Loss, Wellness, and Aesthetics, patients can achieve remarkable results with Morpheus8, a treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Care is led by John Scaffidi, MD, FABOM, FACOG, who earned his medical degree with honors at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and went on to serve as chief resident at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. With decades of experience and advanced training in aesthetics, Dr. Scaffidi offers physician-directed care that blends science with artistry for safe, effective results.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production while remodeling tissue beneath the surface. The device combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering controlled energy up to 7 millimeters into the skin. This approach smooths texture, reduces fat in targeted areas, and tightens skin for natural, long-term improvements.
What Concerns Can Morpheus8 Address?
Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment that improves many common concerns, including:
- Mild sagging or jowling in the face and neck
- Excess fat under the chin or along the jawline
- Uneven or rough skin texture
- Acne scars and other facial or body scars
- Deep lines and creases
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage and poor skin quality
What Should I Expect During Treatment?
Before treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. Once numb, the applicator is placed against the skin in a stamping motion, delivering energy through fine microneedles for a fraction of a second. Patients may feel mild pressure or heat, but the treatment is generally well tolerated thanks to numbing cream and optional medications. Sessions typically last less than an hour depending on the size of the area. We recommend oral sedation which allows for the best results with the most comfort, but requires a driver to bring you home.
What is Recovery and Downtime Like?
Recovery with Morpheus8 is minimal compared to surgery. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a day or two. Makeup can usually be applied within 24 to 48 hours, and most daily activities can be resumed immediately. Results begin to appear after the first session and continue to improve as collagen develops over the next few months. Many patients achieve optimal results after just one treatment, but more can be done after a 4-6 week waiting period if desired.
