SIGNATURE SKIN CARE
In a world where skincare is often one-size-fits-all, we believe in a deeply personalized approach. Your skin is as unique as you are, and it deserves care that's tailored just for you. Whether you're seeking smoother, brighter, tighter skin, our Signature Skin Consultation is the first step toward achieving your skin goals.
The Morph Med Spa Signature Skin Consultation ($100) is a personalized experience that goes beyond skincare. This is the recommended visit for all first-time patients seeking smoother, brighter, tighter skin. Our nurse will evaluate your skin and educate you about caring for it. She’ll also customize a treatment plan for your lifestyle and skin goals.
This plan may include:
Signature Facial
Dermaplaning
Chemical Peel
Microneedling +/- Exosomes
LaseMD Ultra
Baby Fraxel
Fraxel
Halo
Botox
IV Vitamin Therapy
Home Care
Each of the above can be part of your personalized, long term treatment plan for your skin transformation and maintenance.
The Morph Med Spa Signature Facial ($150) is our personalized, results-driven skincare service. Unlike a regular day spa facial, at Morph Med Spa, relaxation is just the beginning. Your 60-minute medical-grade facial may include a chemical peel or dermaplaning. More importantly, this service is the foundation of your skin transformation.
Dermaplaning exfoliates by removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a surgical scalpel. No cutting involved! This results in a smooth, glowy finish. Our nurse will help you decide if this treatment is suitable for you.
After assessing your skin and goals, our nurse will apply one of our painless chemical peel formulas. She’ll reassess your skin between applications of the liquid chemical peel using a soft, cotton gauze pad. Over the following week, your skin may feel like sandpaper but you can look forward to improved skin tone.
Microneedling ($700) is a procedure where our nurse uses a device fitted with “microneedles” to make tiny punctures in your skin. This process triggers your immune system to disinfect your skin, remove dead cells, and increase blood flow. It also stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin. Microneedling can even remodel scarring, such as from acne, and stretch marks. Next, it breaks up melanin to treat conditions like melasma. Lastly, after microneedling, your skin care products can penetrate your skin more deeply and effectively. All of the above improve overall skin structure, quality, and tone. The result is brighter, clearer, smoother skin for you! For optimal results, please prepare for three monthly treatments.
The Ultra ($1200) is the only laser you’ll ever need! Unlike a typical laser which removes layers of skin, requiring weeks of recovery, the Ultra is a non-ablative fractional laser. Instead of removing layers of skin, the Ultra delivers targeted wavelengths of light to specific components of your skin, like melanin or hemoglobin.
These wavelengths create heat within a specific skin component without affecting the surrounding tissues. This results in a completely customizable spectrum of treatments from light to deep. The Ultra treatments require either zero downtime or up to a week of downtime depending on the depth of treatment.
The Ultra is a workhorse laser for overall skin rejuvenation.
The Ultra can even out skin tone, i.e. melasma and sun spots, tighten skin laxity, i.e. jowls, and smooth out wrinkles by inducing new collagen formation. This treatment can even reduce scarring from acne, trauma, and/or surgery. During your visit, we’ll apply a 23% lidocaine numbing cream and allow it to penetrate for at least 20 minutes before your treatment. Then, your treatment will be painless. After the treatment, you’ll feel as if you have a mild sunburn. Your treatment will be completed with a cool, hydrating mask and SPF. You’ll likely completely recover in approximately 24 to 36 hours.
FAQs
-
We recommend waiting until your skin has fully healed, usually 3 days, before participating in any activity that activates your sweat glands. Otherwise, you’ll experience a mild burning sensation.
-
You’ll see tone and textural changes almost immediately after microneedling. Your skin will be softer to the touch and more luminous. Optimal collagen production takes 90 days after treatment.
-

-
In general, we recommend yearly microneedling treatments to combat the natural decline of collagen in your skin.
-
No, microneedling has not been proven to be safe for pregnant patients.
-
No, microneedling is not safe for active acne as it could potentially spread the bacteria, worsening your breakout. Microneedling, however, is excellent for softening and decreasing the size and depth of healed acne scarring.
-
Microneedling with a licensed provider is more effective than “microneedling” at a day spa or at home. In order to promote collagen production, microneedling must puncture the skin at a specific depth where bleeding occurs. At-home rollers can't pierce your skin as consistently or safely as medical-grade devices.
-
Because of the depth of penetration, the state of Connecticut requires a licensed healthcare provider, i.e. a nurse, to perform microneedling. Licensed aestheticians cannot legally perform microneedling in Connecticut.
-
Our favorite microneedling device is the SkinPen. SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling treatment and is designed to work without heat or other stressors on the skin.
-
Your microneedling service at Morph Med Spa will not be painful. During your visit, we’ll apply a 23% lidocaine numbing cream and allow it to penetrate for at least 30 minutes prior to microneedling.
-
Immediately after treatment, your skin will be red and slightly sensitive, like a mild sunburn. You cannot apply makeup on the day of treatment. The day after treatment, your skin will be sun-kissed pink; however, you can apply makeup if desired. By the third day, you will be completely healed. You will notice your skin has a smoother, velvety feel to it.
