MORPHEUS8 vs ELLACOR!? Which one is better? Microneedling vs microcoring

[@maureengreen617]

I didn’t have the Morpheus 8 but I did have Secret RF and it did nothing. Since that time I got myself a Dr. Pen and I microneedle at home at a depth of 1 mm above my eyes and 1.5 below and I am delighted at how effective it is. I watched several hours of training videos for aestheticians on KZbin, and I’m highly attentive to sterile practices. Seeing all these comments about people disappointed with the results from Morpheus 8 convinces me that my $130 investment in my Dr. Pen was a good idea. Thank you for engaging with your viewers so well and have a wonderful time in Hawaii.

[@metejt]

Would you mind sharing what results you saw with Dr. Pen? I'm trying to decide which treatment would work best for me.

I had Morpheus8 done and had incredible results. I had many many people come up to me and ask me what I had done to my skin, or just generally tell me my skin was amazing (I am 37). I just had my 4th Morpheus8 treatment yesterday and I am excited to see the results (the previous three were last year). You do have do do maintenance treatments.

[@DS384]

I've had it done with amazing results and so have several other people I know.

[@Msloverawfood]

I'm 74, have kept up with procedures over the years, no surgery in 25 yrs, just maintenance procedures as I think you look silly trying to keep up with the aging of the the body, but simple procedures helped keep me fresh and Morpheus is one I've been doing just for the jawline for 3 yrs and I luv it. Otherwise, I keep diet clean clean clean, bodybuild, rock climb, sky dive, yoga, biking for HIIT as well as longer rides for endurance and keeping that blood flow going will also help the skin look fresh. I never went up and down in weight so I believe it helped my skin from the wrinkles and crinkles, but mid 70's kinda stink as that's when it starts going down hill but heck, I'm healthy, what more really can a girl ask for. The new flowers must bloom and keep us "wise humans" aka homo sapiens procreating. "Wise human What the name Homo sapiens means. The name we selected for ourselves means 'wise human'. Homo is the Latin word for 'human' or 'man' and sapiens is derived from a Latin word that means 'wise' or 'astute'." THANK YOU STEFANIE FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL WISDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@monic3982I looooove the feedback I’ve read on Morpheus. I do Morpheus in my office here in Atlanta, and for all of the horrible reviews on Morpheus it’s the user. You have to understand microneedling with RF, you have to understand the settings and you have to be realistic w results and understand it’s a marathon vs a race. It can truly change the texture of your skin, it can tighten if you don’t have severe laxity and it’s great for shrinking pores. Great home care is a must in my opinion

I’m so glad that you posted this and keep it real. I was very nervous to get Morpheus8 for my acne scars because I’m afraid of fat loss on my face. My doctor recommended it because he’s used it a lot on my darker skin tone. I do regret it a little because he did go 3mm on my cheeks even though I said my concern of fat loss. I’m afraid in a year I’ll look older. I did gasp at the laser cost so that did also influence my choice to do Morpheus8 but sound like it would be worth the money to do a laser instead - the ultra clear I’ve read is safe for my olive skin

I did Morpheus 8 on face--3 rounds all aggressive and guess what…..it did NOTHING. AT. All. I was sooo angry I made them give me 80% of money back.

Although I’m not advocating for self-servicing in terms of micro-needling, I’ve been doing my own face and neck at home for about 3+ years now (quarantine times). I LOVE the results in terms of the texture of my skin, along with diminished fine lines. My skin is noticeably firmer and more plump. I also use anti-aging and restorative skincare products, including .05 Trentinoin and Snoxin II. Perhaps derma-rolling/micro needling allows for better penetration of products. There is no heat involved, and being mindful of sterility is essential. I’m also more religious with my sunscreen. I’m 50. I am so excited to add the Botox Nefertiti lift and eventually Ellacor…thanks to your amazing knowledge and willingness to share valuable information.

[@cyclamen831]

I am in my 50s. No huge issues, a little laxity and some wrinkles. I had 3 sessions of Morpheous8 in the past 4 months.Despite numbing cream, I found the procedure painful, especially the second and third sessions. RN states she used the same settings and somehow during the 2nd and 3rd sessions it felt as the nerves were supersensitive. She said that this happens often but had no explanation why this phenomenon occurs. I honestly see no difference at all. In addition, nobody around me noted my skin of face looking "better" either. So I can just confirm that, at least in my case, I wasted time, energy, pain and money for essentially no results. Anyone else having my experience out there?

But Dr Kappel. In the video of one of your patients you mention she had lasting pigmentation on one of her cheeks for longer and you had to treat that pigmentation with another laser. I follow her too, I saw her video and the pigment was noticeable and significant. So when you say ELLACOR doesn’t leave pigmentation cause it’s a mechanical procedure amd not heated is not true. She indeed had pigmentation you had to treat. And that means more time and more money. He’s I agree ☝️! I did Morpheus 2 times and the results where great for 3 months and then my skin went back to normal. I thought it was quite expensive but specially very VERY PAINFUL 😣.

I find it interesting that the videos that I've watched where Dr's were saying that microcoring or EllaCore didn't show any noticeable improvement were all from plastic surgeons. One even questioned if there were special lighting or camera angles used in the "after" pictures. I think microcoring sounds interesting and very promising.

Having had one treatment I can definitely say I would not get this done by anyone other than an MD. It was intense and I can’t imagine a spa doing this.

Exactly. !00% agree.

Thank you so much for sharing so much valuable information! I'm so grateful to have discovered your channel and have been watching every video and taking notes.

Hello, I really enjoy your video. I was wondering as a male patient. Can you do Ellacor on the face where we have beard? Did the treatment will create spot where the beard will not grow again? Thank you and I send you good vibes from Palm Springs :)

Great question!! and the answer is yes. Ellacor will not effect the beard hair growth in make patients. That’s where the

Would micro needling without RF a better choice? How is heat from RF different from the heat from thermage for the skin? Thanks for your videos!!❤

[@nadeemkhanftii]

Have you had microciring? Thermage does not compare with microcoring

[@Danamoss100]

Would Ellacor be suitable post facelift as a maintenance treatment? I have been recommended Ultherapy but I’m quite amazed by the results of Ellacor Im seeing ? Thank you ❤

Which is best fraxel laser or ellacore or Thermage?

Thanks Kristy!! I’m sure it will become mire available as now it’s just limited to a number of providers. Some of my colleagues haven’t been able to get it yet. I’m sure with time more will face access to it :)

Had Morpheus 8, didn’t see results at all! I literally want to be like I want my thousand dollars back

[@jennytaylordesign]

Hi Stefani! I love your channel and I just got the Ellacore procedure done today! I had Morpheus8 a year ago and I was very underwhelmed with the tightening results. I look completely beat up right now (literally red & purple), but I'm excited to see the results! I did notice a few areas where the device cored a few holes into my lips. Is that anything to worry about?

[@LindaCimino-mf6cb]

I love the results after one treatment I had 10 percent of skin removed

Thank you Stefani. Can you recommend a MD in the Phoenix area who does Ellacor? Enjoy your vacation. I love your videos.

Thank you!! I don't know of anyone there but I'll let you know when and if I do!!

Is Ellacor anything like Opus Plasma?

[@SolElarien]

How does Ellacor compares to lasers? I’m curious. Very interesting video, thank you❤

[@DrStefaniKappel]

They work by completely different mechanisms of action. Lasers resurface the skin and are more superficial. Ellacor is a tightening device that can also help texture (like fine lines and acne scars) by removing small colums of skin in a scarless fashion.

[@jerryryan3703]

Can you get Ellacor in an area that was treated a long time ago with Silikon 1000 microdrops? Never had any problems with the Silikon.

[@DrStefaniKappel]

I would hold off in areas treated because we simply don’t know at this point. Maybe a small test spot would be a good idea.

How much down time with Elacore

Do you do telehealth consults?

No not at the moment sorry :(

[@visionvixxen]

Generally, unfortunately, you can’t protect you can’t compare anyone physician for those underneath physicians who are doing these procedures for them and making the money for sad difficult part is there’s a really things physicians should be doing for the same price but now we’re paying the same high price for people have not been trained as extensively as they are, and don’t even really understand the things the same way

[@DrStefaniKappel]

That is why it is so important to always credentials and level of training specifically in the area of lasers medicine and cosmetic dermatology. Regardless of their degree.
