Learn About Our Two Amazing, Surgery-Free Facial Rejuvenation Treatments: Morpheus 8 and Opus Plasma

No matter how well we care for our skin, at some point, we will look in the mirror and be greeted by lines, wrinkles, and lax, sagging skin. Yes, it can be discouraging, especially when we don’t feel nearly as old as we’re starting to look. 

But there is some good news: Today, there are nonsurgical solutions for rejuvenating our skin, smoothing away wrinkles and other imperfections, and restoring a more youthful skin tone so that we look and feel our absolute best.

For patients in Manhasset and Forest Hills, New York, E. Jacob Simhaee, MD, offers two state-of-the-art, nonsurgical skin rejuvenation systems: Morpheus8®  and Opus Plasma®. Learn how these two systems work and how they can help you enjoy more beautiful skin at every age.

Morpheus8: What to know

Morpheus8 is an advanced skin rejuvenation system that combines the benefits of two treatments — microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy — to smooth out wrinkles, reduce the appearance of scars and other imperfections, and tighten lax, sagging skin, all without surgery. 

Tiny microneedles serve as conduits for RF energy, enabling waves of gentle heat to penetrate deeper layers of skin. Once that energy is delivered to the target tissues, it stimulates natural healing, repairing damaged tissue and replacing weak, damaged collagen fibers so that the skin has the support it needs for optimal firmness.

At the same time, those tiny microneedles promote healing in the more superficial layers of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars while evening out skin tone and texture.

Each Morpheus8 treatment session lasts about 30-60 minutes and has no downtime. Within a few weeks, you’ll see initial results as collagen fibers form and strengthen, with optimal results visible several weeks later. Because it’s minimally invasive, Morpheus8 treatment can be repeated over time for long-lasting results and greater confidence.

Opus Plasma: Get the facts

As its name implies, Opus Plasma uses a special type of energy called plasma energy to rejuvenate your skin and smooth out scars, wrinkles, and other imperfections. Plasma energy works by vaporizing the uppermost skin layers damaged by environmental exposure, stress, illness, and other issues. 

Each tiny burst of plasma energy creates an isolated area of controlled injury. These injuries stimulate natural healing processes, including developing collagen and protein fibers that help skin look smoother and firmer.

Before treatment, Dr. Simhaee applies a topical cream to numb your skin so you stay comfortable throughout. Once your skin is numb, Dr. Simhaee uses the special Opus device to precisely apply plasma energy during a treatment session that typically takes 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the areas we’re treating.

Like Morpheus8, Opus Plasma does not involve prolonged downtime afterward—you can return to your regular routine. During the initial stage of healing, you can expect some tenderness and mild swelling for a few days. You may also notice tiny scabs forming as new tissue forms. It is crucial not to disturb the scabs, as they protect your skin while it heals.

Opus Plasma stimulates collagen production, a process that can take several weeks. During that time, you’ll notice your skin looks and feels firmer and smoother, results that can last for up to three years. Better still, treatment can be repeated to prolong those results indefinitely.

Making the choice

Both Morpheus8 and Opus Plasma offer significant benefits for women and men seeking to rejuvenate their skin and enjoy a more youthful, healthier complexion. The best way to decide which approach suits your needs is to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Simhaee to review your goals.
