WHAT ARE MORHEUS8 AND MORPHEUS BODY?
In the past, if you wanted to get any skin tightening, your best option was a surgical procedure like a neck or facelift. Not anymore with today’s available options! Morpheus8 is a noninvasive, nonsurgical skin rejuvenation and remodeling procedure that is suitable for all skin types and tones. Treatment can be performed on any area of the body and for a wide range of skin concerns with generally minimal downtime.
Welcome to WellMedica – Your Destination for Cutting-Edge Aesthetic Care
At WellMedica, Dr. Dima Ali leads the charge in aesthetic innovation, offering the latest in non-invasive cosmetic treatments in Reston VA. From facial rejuvenation to body contouring, weight loss to dermatological solutions, and sexual wellness to anti-aging medicine—WellMedica is where science meets beauty.
One of the standout services in the WellMedica portfolio is Morpheus 8, a revolutionary skin remodeling treatment that is changing the way people think about aging and skin health.
What is Morpheus 8?
Morpheus 8 is a state-of-the-art fractional skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen production, tightens skin, and remodels tissue—delivering results that were once only achievable through surgery.
Unlike traditional facelift procedures, Morpheus 8 in Reston VA offers a minimally invasive solution with little downtime and impressive results.
Why Morpheus 8 is a Game-Changer
1. Safe for All Skin Types
Whether you have fair, medium, or dark skin, Morpheus 8 is suitable for all tones and types. This makes it a standout choice for individuals who have previously been excluded from certain skin treatments.
2. Versatile Treatment Areas
Morpheus 8 isn’t just for the face. It can treat:
- Forehead and cheeks
- Under-eye bags and sagging skin
- Jawline and neck (great for “tech neck”)
- Abdomen and thighs
- Knees and arms
Wherever your skin needs lifting, tightening, or resurfacing, Morpheus 8 in Reston VA at WellMedica can help.
3. Minimally Invasive, Maximum Results
Surgical facelifts require anesthesia, incisions, and lengthy recovery periods. Morpheus 8 achieves similar tightening effects without going under the knife. Most patients resume daily activities within a day or two after treatment.
How Morpheus 8 Works
Morpheus 8 works by delivering radiofrequency energy through microneedles into the skin’s deeper layers. This heats the underlying tissues, triggering the body’s natural healing response and promoting collagen and elastin production.
This combination improves:
- Skin laxity
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin texture
- Stretch marks
Each treatment is personalized based on your goals, skin type, and the area being treated.
Morpheus 8 Treatment Process at WellMedica
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
At WellMedica in Reston VA, Dr. Dima begins with a personalized consultation to assess your needs, concerns, and goals. She evaluates your skin condition and determines if Morpheus 8 is the right solution for you.
Step 2: Numbing and Prep
On the day of the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort. In some cases, additional numbing techniques may be used.
Step 3: The Procedure
Using the Morpheus 8 handheld device, Dr. Dima carefully delivers radiofrequency microneedling to the treatment area. Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care
Following treatment, you may experience some redness, minor swelling, or mild bruising—similar to a sunburn. These effects usually subside within 24 to 72 hours. Dr. Dima will provide post-treatment skincare guidance to ensure optimal results.
Expected Results and Timeline
Many patients report noticeable improvements within a few days, but the most significant results appear over the next 3 to 6 weeks as collagen production continues. A series of 2–3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for the best outcome.
Benefits of Morpheus 8 in Reston VA include:
- Firmer, tighter skin
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduction in acne scars and fine lines
- A more contoured, youthful appearance

WHAT CAN I EXPECT BEFORE & AFTER MORPHEUS8 TREATMENTS?
Morpheus8 and Morpheus Body do not require downtime, but you will experience some side effects as the skin heals. Redness and irritation typically last about a week after each treatment. You should wait several days before applying makeup on the treated area and take care to avoid sun exposure as your skin heals. It is also important to keep the skin well-moisturized throughout the healing process after the first 24 hrs. You will begin to see improvements in your skin within just a few days, but results will continue to develop as the skin produces new, natural collagen. Most patients see their best results about 3 months after their final treatment session.
