If you are affected by lax or puffy tissues around the eyes, mouth or neck area, this could be the treatment for you.

This ‘power duo’ approach treats both the internal and external tissues in the same appointment to provide the maximum level of skin contraction, resulting in, not just a much-needed tightening effect, but significant improvements in skin texture in the treated areas.

In fact, Dr Zimu was one of the first to undergo the treatment himself – he’s had it twice – so he is well-placed to explain in the consultation exactly what it does and how it feels.

⇩Seeing is believing: day-by-day through downtime⇩

To make the procedure completely comfortable, pain is managed by high-strength anaesthetic cream and anaesthetic injections. In the days that follow the treatment, discomfort is no more than a feeling of a mild sunburn, so no further pain management is necessary.

Downtime is between five and seven days, although moderate redness can be visible for around two weeks afterwards, particularly in sensitive skin.

For the best results, two treatments are recommended in most cases. And, because this is a remodelling treatment, it doesn’t require regular upkeep. However, the results will be better maintained with a repeat treatment every one to two years.

Are the Morpheus8 & CO₂ laser treatments given on the same day?
Yes. Both are done during same session with Morpheus8 given first, immediately followed by the CO₂ laser. This creates a ‘sandwich’ effect where the skin is treated and tightened inside and out. It means the downtime for the two treatments is shared, so there’s maximum result and it’s easier to fit into a busy lifestyle.

Does the treatment cause discolouration?
The Alma Hybrid™ CO₂ laser’s technical advances make it much less prone to these issues than previous CO₂ lasers. Fair patients with sensitive skin who’ve been treated so far have tolerated it well, although their recovery time has been slightly longer than the average seven days. It is also suitable on darker skin.
