Morpheus8 vs Ultherapy Face Lift

Morpheus facial vs Ultherapy. Which skin treatment actually works?

Dreaming of tightening your skin but feeling torn between popular procedures like Morpheus 8 and Ultherapy? How do you know which one is right for you? And which one  of these procedures might not bring visible changes to your skin type? I will reveal all the nuances!

Morpheus 8 and Ultherapy are two flagships in the world of machine cosmetology. They promise lifting effects but work completely differently. Let's examine each procedure in detail: how it affects the skin, who it suits, and what results to expect.

What is Morpheus 8?

Morpheus combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy.

Microneedles penetrate under the skin, delivering a radiofrequency impulse. This stimulates the production of new collagen, improves skin texture, and tightens it. At the same time, the needles work on the surface layer of the skin, creating micro-injuries.

This procedure is ideal for people with dense, thick skin. And for those who have wrinkles, scars or excessive fat tissue.

After the procedure, the skin becomes more elastic and tightened, the volume in "problem" areas decreases, and fine wrinkles are smoothed out.

Morpheus has two drawbacks. First—the procedure is painful. Even with the application of anesthetic on the skin, you will feel burning and slight pain. Second —be prepared that after the procedure, the skin will be red, swollen, with tiny needle marks. Recovery will take about  3-4 days.

What is Ultherapy?

This is a non-surgical facelift using micro-focused ultrasound. It can penetrate all the  layers of the skin and even deeper to the SMAS level.

Importantly, the ultrasound is micro-focused. It penetrates exactly where the doctor directs it and does not damage neighboring areas of skin, muscles, or vessels.

Ultrasound heats the tissues. When the temperature in the skin, subcutaneous fat, or musculoaponeurotic layer increases,  a densification and contraction of collagen fibers and the connective tissue of fat layers occurs. The skin begins to tighten. You get a facelift without surgical intervention. Additionally, old collagen in the skin starts to break down, and new collagen appears.

A unique feature and advantage of Ultherapy is ultrasonic visualization. During the procedure, the doctor sees the skin layers on the ultrasound monitor and can adjust the parameters to the patient's individual characteristics.

The procedure is suitable for most clients, especially those with deformational type of aging. Due to the effect of ultrasonic energy, Ultherapy compacts fat packages, reducing their structure and improves contours.

For clients with a tired aging morphotype and thin faces, where there is a lowering of contours, individually selected parameters with reduced energy are used. Such an effect not only stimulates the septa between tissues, but also works on ligament tightening, which strengthens tissue support. As a result, the contours of the face are restored and preserved, becoming clearer and tighter.

Ultherapy provides a gentle but noticeable lifting effect, improving facial contours, densifying and tightening the skin, and restoring its elasticity. At the same time, the procedure allows you to preserve natural volumes where necessary.

Another advantage of Ultherapy is that you can return to your normal life immediately after the procedure. There will be no redness, swelling, or marks on your face—only a slight sensation of skin tightness, like after a light workout.

Now let's compare these technologies to make your choice easier.

First. Mechanism of action:

Morpheus acts with radiofrequency energy through microneedles, on both deep and superficial layers of the skin. Ultherapy uses micro-focused ultrasound, which works on all layers of the skin without damaging the skin's surface.

Second. Skin and face type:

Morpheus is ideal for dense, thick skin with excess subcutaneous fat. Ultherapy is universal, suitable for any skin type, from thin to fuller faces.

Third. Recovery:

After Morpheus, it will take 3-4 days for recovery. The skin will be red, swollen, with tiny needle marks.

After Ultherapy, there are no marks; you can immediately go to meetings, dates, or continue your usual activities.

Fourth. Control of impact:

Morpheus does not offer visualization. Ultherapy has ultrasonic visualization, and the doctor sees the exact layer of impact and can adjust parameters individually.

Fifth. Speed of results:

After Morpheus, the first effect becomes noticeable after 2 months.

After Ultherapy, you will notice the first changes only after 3 months, but the result will continue to build up to 6 months and last for 12-18 months.

Sixth. Results:

Morpheus 8 reduces volume in "problem" areas, tightens the skin, smooths wrinkles, and improves skin texture. Ultherapy improves facial contour, makes the oval more defined, the eyes more open and tightens the skin

What to choose?

If you want a more aggressive approach with noticeable volume reduction and are prepared for skin recovery—choose Morpheus.

If you're looking for a universal solution with minimal recovery time and the ability to adjust parameters to individual features—Ultherapy is your choice.
