Experience powerful firming effects with Mofius 8
As an Assistant Professor, Associate Ward Director, and Chief of Dermatopathology at the university hospital dermatology department, I deepened my expertise through academic presentations and paper publications both domestically and internationally. I have handled a wide range of treatments, from birthmark therapy in children to adult pigmentation concerns, utilizing various lasers and injection therapies, while also contributing to community healthcare. Through encountering numerous cases, I strongly felt the potential and necessity of aesthetic medicine, resolving to pursue further expertise. Building upon my solid dermatological knowledge and meticulous diagnostic skills, I value treatments that gently support each individual's skin while bringing out its inherent beauty.
Mophius 8 is,Needle RF is a treatment with exceptionally strong skin tightening and lifting effects. I am Dr. Aya Hayama, a board-certified dermatologist.
Mofius 8 is a treatment that involves inserting 24 fine needles (microneedles) into the subcutaneous tissue and delivering high-frequency RF thermal energy from the needle tips to the deeper layers of the skin.
By intentionally creating micro-injuries in the tissue responsible for producing collagen and elastin within the skin, we activate the skin's inherent ability to heal itself. The effects we particularly expect are:Reduced skin firmness and elasticity due to aging, improvement of acne scars and other scars, and powerful tightening and lifting of sagging skinis.
Potenza, for example, supplied thermal energy to a narrowly targeted range. In contrast,Mophius 8 differs in that it can deliver thermal energy generated at the needle tip over a wide area, from the subcutaneous tissue to the skin surface.This allows for efficient and powerful tightening of the skin's inner layers. Furthermore, the micro-injuries created by the needles stimulate the skin's natural wound-healing response, leading to firmer, more resilient skin texture.
While there are other irradiation-type devices such as Potenza, Mofius 8 differs in this regard.
While Mofius 8 uses needle-like probes, the other three types insert cannulas into the treatment area, enabling them to address sagging from both inside and outside the skin.When used in combination with Mofius 8, you can expect more detailed, enhanced tightening and lifting effects.
| Face Tight |  |
Treatment Areas: Under the chin, cheeks, jawline, and double chin. Used for facial treatments. The irradiation temperature can be set between 30°C and 70°C, tightening sagging skin from within. Combining with liposuction can yield enhanced tightening effects. |
| Body Tight |  |
Target Areas: Used for tightening the entire body contour. Insertion depth up to 15cm is possible depending on fatty areas and skin condition. Recommended for use in combination with advanced VASER liposuction. |
| Accutite |  |
Target Area: Cheek fat Used for tightening small areas. Also suitable for tightening cheek fat, the noticeable bulge in the cheeks when smiling. |
Mofius 8 Downtime Progress
Micro-needling therapy, which involves inserting fine needles into the skin to trigger a wound-healing response and promote skin regeneration, is often a step many hesitate to take due to concerns about pain.
Mofius 8 effectively minimizes discomfort by administering anesthesia prior to treatment. While pain levels vary depending on needle depth, we ensure thorough pain control by combining topical anesthetic applied to the skin with relaxing nitrous oxide anesthesia. Mofius 8 delivers powerful skin tightening effects, making the before-and-after difference highly noticeable. The downtime period is approximately one week.
〈Example of Downtime Progression After Mofius 8 Treatment from the Chin to the Cheeks 〉
Day 1 after treatment: Redness, slight tightness, and pinpoint bleeding from needle puncture sites may be observed.
Day 2 after treatment: Redness subsides, and roughness at the needle puncture sites is visible.
Day 3 after treatment: Peeling due to dryness is observed.
4 to 5 days after treatment: Redness significantly subsides, and scabs appear at the needle puncture sites.
Day 6 after treatment: Redness and needle marks are no longer visible at first glance, and peeling has subsided.
Day 7 after treatment: Redness and needle marks have disappeared, revealing a tightened facial contour.
Makeup can be applied 48 hours after treatment, allowing you to conceal redness to some extent. For those who cannot undergo treatments with significant downtime, such as those involving incisions, treatment with Mofius 8 may be an option.
Treatment intervals are approximately every 4 to 6 weeks for several sessions (typically 3 to 5 sessions as a guideline).
■The Difference Between Mofius 8 and Potenza
Treatments for facial sagging range from minimally invasive procedures like thread lifts to high-frequency machine-based treatments, as well as surgical facelifts that involve incisions to lift the skin.There are various options.
Among these, the treatment most often compared to Mofius 8 is "Potenza (high-frequency RF laser)." Like Mofius 8, it is a microneedle treatment that emits thermal energy from the needle tip to tighten the skin from within. Mofius 8 isUp to 4mm into the dermisThe needle can be inserted deep into the skin, delivering thermal energy up to 5mm deep, resulting in powerful tightening effects.can be expected.
■Highly Satisfying Treatments with Liposuction × Morpheus 8
For those seeking to effectively eliminate sagging along the jawline and under the chin, liposuction is also a treatment option.
However, there are cases where liposuction leaves behind sagging skin, or where liposuction is refused due to existing sagging. In such cases, combining liposuction with Embrace RF (Mofius 8/FaceTite) can help achieve your ideal facial contour while minimizing downtime. Attempting volume reduction through liposuction alone increases the risk of tightness or indentations in the treated areas, but utilizing Embrace RF can help mitigate these risks. Furthermore, combining thread lifts can help stabilize the lifting effect.
This combination treatment is recommended for those who want to focus not only on volume reduction but also on skin texture.
