Our patients choose Shea Aesthetic Clinic because of our unwavering commitment to their health and well-being—all in a warm, friendly environment. With over 75 years of combined experience, and with the latest aesthetics technologies, Shea Aesthetic Clinic is proud to offer Oak Ridge the most effective aesthetic skin rejuvenation treatments!
One such technology is Morpheus8, a powerful tool for your face and body. We use Morpheus8 in Oak Ridge to minimize scars, tighten your skin, and improve your overall skin quality.
Before your session, you’ll first meet with your provider to discuss your aesthetic goals and ensure that Morpheus8 will be the best way to achieve them.
During a Morpheus8 treatment, we may administer either Pro-Nox or a topical numbing solution, and allow that to set. Once you are comfortable, we’ll methodically pass the Morpheus8 device over your skin in the treatment area.
After completing your treatment series with the Morpheus8 device, your results will gradually become clear in the weeks, with full results appearing after about 6 weeks.

In Oak Ridge, we love Morpheus8 because it can be used on both your face and body. This versatility lets us provide the best variety of services for your skin. We most commonly treat the face, neck, and décolleté areas with Morpheus8.
Specifically, we often target lines around the eyes, smile lines, forehead lines, and mouth lines for our patients. However, Morpheus8 works great for any area with wrinkles, loose skin, scar tissue, discoloration, and textural issues.
Even after 1 session with Morpheus8, you can enjoy noticeably improved your skin. For the best results, though, we usually recommend 3 to 4 treatments, each spaced about a month apart.
Ultimately, we’ll develop your treatment plan based on your unique physiology and skin needs, so you might require additional sessions for the best results.
It takes time for your skin to respond to Morpheus8 treatments, so it may be around 4 to 6 weeks before you notice your results. These improvements will continue to grow, with the maximum benefits occurring around 3 to 4 months after the last treatment. Then, most patients see an improved complexion that lasts for around 12 to 18 months before the treatment gradually wears off.
Combining Morpheus8 with the LaseMD Ultra Laser enhances skin tightening around delicate areas such as the eyes, mouth, and jowls and delivers more pronounced results for concerns like wrinkles and fine lines. While Morpheus8 stimulates collagen deep within the skin, the LaseMD Ultra Laser refines the skin’s surface, addressing texture and pigmentation. This approach works to boost skin elasticity and clarity and provides comprehensive rejuvenation!
With Emsculpt NEO, you can build muscle and reduce fat simultaneously. We often use Emsculpt NEO + Morpheus8 for a 360-degree approach to body sculpting. These 2 treatments combined address fat reduction, improved muscle mass, and skin tightening!
We can provide long-lasting removal for hair across your body with our laser services. If you are looking for Morpheus8 in Oak Ridge to help tighten the skin on the body and feel confident and excited about swimsuit season, laser hair removal is a great addition to your overall treatment plan!
When you’re ready to transform your self-confidence, we’re here to help.
With over 75 years of combined experience in aesthetics, we are passionate about offering the most cutting-edge technologies to our patients. At the same time, we especially believe in harnessing the body’s natural ability to repair and rejuvenate!
Our Morpheus8 treatments exemplify this regenerative approach by combining microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver comprehensive skin renewal, including improving skin structure and texture.
Morpheus8 works by penetrating the skin with precision-engineered microneedles, which create controlled micro-injuries. These microchannels trigger the body’s healing response, increasing blood flow and delivering fibroblasts to repair the skin.
At the same time, RF energy is delivered deep into the tissue, tightening existing collagen fibers while stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. In total, the radiofrequency energy is delivered through the microneedles which penetrate at a depth of up to 7mm; the radiofrequency energy then penetrates the skin an additional 1mm.
In response, your body increases blood flow to the area and sends healing components like fibroblasts to repair the damage. This healing process takes time, but once the process is complete, the treated skin will have brand-new collagen and elastin. The radiofrequency energy also prompts this healing response, and it offers the additional benefits of immediate skin tightening as the existing collagen fibers contract in response to the heat.
The dual-action process of Morpheus8 targets multiple layers of the skin, enhancing firmness, contouring sagging areas, and addressing visible signs of aging such as dark spots and fine lines. Whether treating small, delicate areas of the face or larger areas of the body, Morpheus8 delivers results that rejuvenate from within. The benefits continue to develop for months as your skin naturally repairs and strengthens.
We have our skin’s natural ability to generate collagen and elastin to thank for the continual improvement we see from Morpheus8 in Oak Ridge. These two proteins are responsible for tightening and resurfacing your skin. Over time, your skin will look more youthful—the benefits continuing for months after completing your treatment plan.
After each treatment at Shea Aesthetic Clinic, you may experience some minor discomfort around the treatment site. Many patients compare the sensation to a mild sunburn, including some redness or itchiness. These effects may last for a couple of days after each session. During this time, you will need to avoid applying makeup or sunscreen to the area.
Almost anyone interested in skin tightening can be a great candidate for Morpheus8 treatment. However, there are a few limitations for eligibility.
In order to be an ideal candidate for treatment with Morpheus8 in Oak Ridge, it’s important that you have clear, healthy skin without any active injuries or recent sunburns. In addition, patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding will have to wait before we can treat them. Finally, patients that have an electrical device or metal within the body can’t receive treatment from Morpheus8.
Even if you aren’t eligible for Morpheus8, odds are we can still find another service to help bring your aesthetic goals to life. Let us know about your concerns, and we can find a treatment to meet your needs.
At Shea Aesthetic Clinic, our values—integrity, excellence, kindness, and compassion—are more than guiding principles; they shape every interaction and service provided. Our skilled professionals are continually refining their expertise, bringing patients the latest advancements in aesthetic treatments in a setting that feels comfortable.
Whether you are seeking subtle enhancements or transformative results, our approach is centered on helping everyone feel and look their best, both inside and out.
