Treatment can be performed on any area of the body and for a wide range of skin concerns with generally minimal downtime.

MORPHEUS8 | BEFORE & AFTERS

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

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.

To prepare for Morpheus8 and Morpheus Body treatments, one week prior to your appointment:

  • Stop taking NSAID medicines like Aspirin and ibuprofen.
  • Discontinue any irritant type of topical products, treatments, or anything perceived as active skin care.
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure and discontinue using tanning beds.

On the day of treatment:

  • Treated area will be cleaned thoroughly.
  • Topical anesthetic will be applied to ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

What can be expected during and after treatment?

  • Immediately after your treatment, you will notice mild redness and swelling on treated area.
  • You may experience a feeling of warmth and tightening of the area that can last 3 - 4 days.
  • You may develop mild crusting and peeling 3 - 7 days after treatment.

24 hours after treatment:

  • CLEAN – Use a gentle, mild cleanser when treating face and neck or body wash on the treated area.
  • HYDRATE – Use a gentle moisturizer or healing ointment on the treatment area until skin heals.
  • MAKEUP – Wait to apply makeup for 48 - 72 hours after the treatment.
  • PROTECT – Apply a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and up every 3 - 4 hours during the day.
