What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that stimulates collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. By targeting the deeper layers of the skin, tissues of the face and body can be remodeled to reveal a more radiant youthful appearance.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Morpheus8 can be used on any areas that can benefit from resurfacing and subdermal renewal. The most commonly treated areas include the face, periorbital area, abdomen, thighs, legs, and buttocks.
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
Our doctors will recommend the optimal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal objectives. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Visible results can be seen within a few days, but typically after three weeks the most noticeable results appear. Improvements continue up to three months after treatment.
What is the Benefit of Fractionated Energy?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a scientifically proven method to remodel and rebuild collagen. It is minimally invasive, using a matrix of micro pins to renew the deeper layers of the skin with almost no patient downtime.

Can Anyone Use Morpheus8?
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.
Can This Be Used in Combination With Other Treatments?
Yes, Morpheus8 can be used in the same treatment session, or a few days after other treatments. Morpheus8 can also be combined with other lnMode energy treatments or injectables to achieve more extensive results.
When Can I Apply Make-up After Treatment?
Since patient downtime is minimal, makeup can be applied one to two days after the treatment. Patients should expect to see micro lesions a few days after treatment and slight redness, depending on treatment parameters.
What Kind of Post-Procedure Care Is Required?
Patients should moisturize the treatment area and avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, sunscreens also slow the aging process.
What Makes This Procedure Unique?
Microneedling with radiofrequency is a breakthrough cosmetic treatment aimed at enhancing skin quality. At its core, this procedure intertwines the tried and tested technique of microneedling with the cutting-edge application of radiofrequency energy to facilitate a transformative improvement in skin texture and tightness.
What Role Does Collagen Play in Morpheus8 Treatment?
The procedure begins with the use of microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing process, prompting the production of collagen and elastin. When radiofrequency is added to the mix, the heat energy emitted ensures a more pronounced stimulation of collagen production. This is due to the heat encouraging contraction of the collagen fibers, thereby tightening the skin almost immediately, while also signaling the body to commence new collagen synthesis.
Collagen is a vital protein in our bodies that bestows strength and elasticity on our skin. As we age, our bodies gradually diminish their collagen production, leading to the common signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. The regenerative process induced by microneedling with radiofrequency actively combats these signs by replenishing collagen levels, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Can I Eliminate Fine Lines With Morpheus8?
The beauty of Morpheus8 lies in its ability to customize the penetration depth and energy release, adjusting to individual needs and ensuring precise treatment that targets the specific areas of concern. This versatility makes it suitable for a variety of skin issues, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and stretch marks.
What Is the Recovery Process?
For individuals considering Morpheus8, the treatment promises minimal downtime. Typically, patients can resume their daily routine shortly after the procedure, albeit with a few days of mild redness and swelling. The treatment sessions are usually brief, ranging from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the extent of the area being treated.
It is not just the facial skin that can reap the benefits of Morpheus8; this treatment is effective on any areas that exhibit wrinkles, discoloration, or acne scarring. The most common treatment areas include the face and neck, as well as the abdomen which may benefit from tissue tightening after weight loss or childbirth.
The results are long-lasting. Individuals may notice a gradual improvement in the look of their skin as collagen production ramps up. Optimal results are typically observed after a series of one to three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. It is important to note that while improvements can be seen shortly after treatment, the most striking results often manifest two to three months later as the newly produced collagen starts to mature.

Is Morpheus8 a Good Alternative to Surgical Rejuvenation?
Morpheus8 offers a potent combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to target the underlying causes of skin aging. By stimulating the production of collagen, it provides a non-surgical alternative to achieve firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
