Tighten and Smooth with Dr Cyrus Sedaghat
At our Irvine practice, Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat uses Morpheus 8 Face to firm skin, refine pores, reduce wrinkles, and improve tone in Orange County patients.
What Is Morpheus 8 Face and Why It Is Different
Morpheus 8 Face is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed to tighten skin, improve texture, and restore a smoother, firmer appearance without surgery. At our Irvine practice in Orange County, Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat uses Morpheus 8 Face to remodel the deeper layers of the skin where aging actually begins.
Unlike traditional microneedling that only works near the surface, Morpheus 8 Face delivers controlled radiofrequency energy through tiny gold coated needles into the deeper dermis. This allows treatment at multiple levels of the skin during the same session. The surface is gently stimulated while deeper tissue is heated in a precise and controlled way.
This technology makes Morpheus 8 Face especially effective for:
• Mild to moderate skin laxity • Fine lines and deeper wrinkles • Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores • Acne scars and acne related texture changes • Jawline softening and lower face contouring
For patients in Irvine and throughout Orange County looking for non surgical facial rejuvenation, Morpheus 8 Face offers visible improvement with minimal downtime.
How Morpheus 8 Face Works Beneath the Skin
Aging affects the structural support of the skin. Collagen and elastin production slows down, existing collagen becomes weaker, and the skin loses firmness. Morpheus 8 Face works by stimulating your body to rebuild that support system.
During treatment, ultrafine needles penetrate the skin at adjustable depths. At the same time, radiofrequency energy is delivered into the dermis. This creates controlled thermal zones within the tissue. The heat causes immediate contraction of collagen fibers and triggers a natural wound healing response.
Over the next several weeks, your body increases collagen and elastin production in response to this stimulation. This process is known as collagen remodeling. As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted.
Key scientific benefits include:
• Fractional energy delivery that protects surrounding tissue • Adjustable needle depth for customized facial treatment • Controlled heat that stimulates long term collagen production • Support of natural skin regeneration without surgery
Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat carefully selects depth and energy settings based on your skin thickness, laxity, and goals to ensure safe and effective results for each Irvine and Orange County patient.
Why Morpheus 8 Face Is So Effective for Skin Tightening
Many treatments improve surface texture but do not meaningfully tighten skin. Morpheus 8 Face works deeper than most non surgical options, reaching layers responsible for structural support.
The radiofrequency energy penetrates into the dermis and in some cases the superficial subdermal layer. This deeper thermal effect stimulates stronger collagen remodeling compared to traditional microneedling alone.
Patients often notice:
• Improved firmness along the jawline and cheeks • Smoother texture and refined pores • Reduction in mild jowls or lower face heaviness • Softening of nasolabial folds and fine lines • Brighter, more even skin tone
Because Morpheus 8 Face works within your own tissue, results appear gradually and look natural. There is no artificial volume or pulled appearance. This makes it an ideal treatment for people in Irvine who want noticeable improvement without surgery.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Your Morpheus 8 Face session at our Irvine office typically lasts about 45 to 60 minutes depending on the area treated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to improve comfort.
During treatment, patients usually feel warmth and pressure with brief pulses of energy. Most describe the sensation as tolerable. After the procedure, it is normal to experience mild redness, swelling, and a sandpaper like texture for a few days.
Recovery generally includes:
• Redness for one to three days • Mild swelling that resolves within several days • Light flaking as the skin renews • Gradual tightening over several weeks
Collagen remodeling continues for up to three months. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal skin tightening and texture improvement.
Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat provides customized aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and maximum results for patients throughout Orange County.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear, patient-friendly answers from Dr. Cyrus Sedaghat about pricing, comfort, downtime, results, and aftercare—so you can feel confident before booking.
What determines the energy settings used?
Settings depend on skin thickness, laxity severity, Fitzpatrick skin type, and treatment area. Thicker sebaceous skin can tolerate higher energy, while delicate areas like periorbital skin require lower energy and shallower depths.
How many sessions are truly needed?
Most patients need 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal collagen remodeling. Histologic studies show collagen production continues for up to 3 months after each session, so results build progressively.
Does it reduce fat or just tighten skin?
At higher energy and deeper settings, RF can induce adipose remodeling in the subdermal layer. This is why it can contour areas like the lower face, but precise settings are critical to avoid unwanted volume loss.
Why is RF added to microneedling?
Radiofrequency creates controlled thermal coagulation zones around each needle track. This heat causes immediate collagen contraction and activates fibroblasts, leading to stronger neocollagenesis compared to mechanical injury alone.
How deep does Morpheus 8 Face go?
The device can deliver microneedles up to about 4 mm into the dermis and subdermal layer, depending on the tip used. Depth is adjusted by treatment area. Deeper penetration targets laxity and mild jowling, while superficial settings improve texture and fine lines.
