Functional Medicine is a better way to treat your health that seeks the root cause of your symptoms, and then maps out the best way forward. It goes beyond just putting band-aids on the situation or reverting to adding more and more drugs. It digs deep while there's still time to find the real solution. 

Being proactive is decidedly better than waiting for a more serious health issue to occur. It gives you more control over your health, in addition to significant one on one time with a doctor that works with you in depth. There are multiple directions you can go in, and you decide with the doctor which option you prefer. 

We can treat a large number of different issues, such as hormones, thyroid, Lyme, weight gain, low energy, gut issues, brain fog, and so much more. Many of these symptoms are connected, and it's only after working in depth with Dr. Dunham that you can truly know what's really going on. 

Our patients come in all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. That said, they usually have some of these things in common though that caused them to join us: 

1. They didn't feel listened to.

2. They were getting bounced around from different docs/specialists with still no resolution.

3. They spent way too much time and money trying to figure it out on their own.

4. They knew that something wasn't right, but nobody could figure out what it was.

5. They don't want to wait until a major crisis before taking their health seriously.

6. They were tired of continuously trying new drugs to treat a problem that won't go away.

Morpheus8 is a new subdermal adipose remodeling device (SARD) that fractionally remodels and contours the face and body. Penetrating deep into the skin and fat, this morphs the aging face of body into a more desired smooth and sleek appearance, for all skin tones. Morpheus8 has the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin than any other microneedling device, going as deep as 4mm. Patient comfort is a major advantage of this device because of the sharper needles and tiny punctures it causes in the skin without tugging or pulling. Morpheus8 can be used for all over the body to treat wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks surgical scars and more.

Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from sub-dermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the lower face and neck. Areas of the face and body that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration or acne scarring are suitable for treatment.

To do it right, you'll need to do 3 treatments, with at least four weeks between treatments. It's tempting to get excited after seeing the initial results and think you're done, but to get the full effect you need all 3. After that, all you need is maybe a yearly maintenance treatment. And the results continue to increase up to 6 months past the last treatment.    

Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to 6 months after treatment.

The benefit of Morpheus8’s color blind technology is that it can be used on all skin types. The unique properties allow even darker tones to be treated.

Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing their future risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also reduce wrinkles and slow the aging process.
