- 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.

Two years ago, I had buccal fat removal done in the UK, but the surgeon was only able to treat one side and told me there was no buccal fat on my right side. Ever since, I’ve been dealing with noticeable facial asymmetry, which really started to bug me.
After doing a lot of research, I came across Dr. Mesa and saw the countless buccal fat removal procedures he’s done and immediately felt confident he was the right choice. I ended up flying from London to New Jersey specifically to see him, and it was 100% worth it.
From the moment I arrived, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Dr. Mesa was incredibly reassuring, and within minutes he was able to locate the buccal fat that my previous surgeon couldn’t find. The procedure itself was completely painless, which honestly surprised me, because my initial one in the uk I felt pain.
Now, after two years of dealing with asymmetry, it’s such a relief to finally have it resolved. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
I also want to mention Cristina and the rest of the staff, they were absolutely fantastic and guided me through every step of the process, making the whole experience stress-free.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Mesa to anyone considering this procedure.

- I’m thrilled with my experience with Dr. Mesa and I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone interested in facial masculinization! I booked a consult not totally sure what kind of masculinization procedure I wanted, and Dr. Mesa helped me decide on cheekbone filler. I was nervous before the procedure, but he was so gentle and courteous and competent, and when I saw my results my heart soared with happiness. My filler is super subtle but it’s made a world of difference in how I feel about my face. Worth every penny and I’ll probably get it again when the time comes. If you’re FTM and interested in facial masculinization, I cannot recommend Dr. Mesa highly enough!Read MoreRead LessJames Thomas6/18/2026
