FAQ
We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand so you are comfortable throughout the treatment.
You should notice a difference immediately after treatment. Your results will improve as your skin continues to tighten and regenerate in the days and weeks following the procedure.
- Safe, FDA-approved technology
- Minimally invasive
- Requires little to no downtime
- Minimal discomfort and trauma to the skin
- Gentle temperatures and no straining or pulling
- Tightens the surface layer of the skin
- Contours the deep fat layer underneath the skin
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles, fades scars and stretch marks, and shrinks pores
In traditional microneedling, tiny puncture wounds are made in the skin layers to trigger the natural healing process and stimulate collagen growth. Morpheus8 microneedles can penetrate deeper, accessing the fat layer beneath the skin layers. This technique directs electromagnetic energy to the area, which generates heat and has a “shrink-wrap” effect on the skin. The penetrating power of Morpheus8 is an effective treatment for tightening the skin, reducing fat, smoothing wrinkles, and taking years off your appearance.

- After extensive research, I chose Dr. John Mesa when I considered a facelift, and I was delighted to discover that he also offers Botox and Dermal Fillers. I knew he had expertise in facial anatomy and unparalleled surgical skills, so I scheduled an appointment knowing I wouldn't be disappointed, and I wasn't. I can't believe how amazing I look. It has boosted my self-esteem. The icing on the cake is that he is kind, listens carefully, and has an international perspective on beauty. It doesn't get any better.Read MoreRead LessEvelyn3/19/2026
