Morpheus 8 is the safest and most effective treatment which uses microneedling radiofrequency to improve signs of aging on your face, neck and body. This treatment effectively treats acne scars, fine lines, tightens skin folds and other facial discrepancies
Morpheus 8 represents an innovative device that blends microneedling and radiofrequency technology to perform fractional resurfacing, effectively triggering collagen production. By precisely addressing the skin’s deeper layers, it encourages the natural anti-aging process, prompting the reorganization of essential building blocks.
Prospective Morpheus 8 treatment candidates can be divided into two primary groups:
Morpheus 8 is versatile, suitable for all skin types thanks to its specialized color-blind technology. It excels in addressing various concerns such as loose or sagging skin, wrinkles, acne scarring, stretch marks, pigmentation issues, and crepey skin on the body.
Prior to your treatment, a topical numbing agent will be applied to your cleansed skin, and you’ll wait for approximately 50-60 minutes. This step is designed to minimize any discomfort you may experience during the treatment. During this waiting period, you’ll be comfortably seated in either the waiting room or a treatment room. We suggest bringing along something to read or work on to pass the time.
The procedure itself involves using a handheld device that is gently pressed onto the designated area of your skin. This device contains microneedles that create tiny perforations in your skin. Once these microneedles are in place, they emit radiofrequency (RF) waves, which penetrate deep into the dermal layer. Due to the small size of the needles, most patients find the procedure to be well-tolerated. This straightforward and safe treatment delivers outstanding results and is suitable for all skin types.
With proper self-care, the results can endure for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months or even longer. Many patients opt for annual treatment sessions to consistently uphold their revitalized appearance. The procedure is remarkably non-invasive, eliminating the need for bandages or wraps during the recovery phase. Instead, we encourage patients to diligently adhere to postoperative instructions and utilize any prescribed ointments or creams as instructed.
Immediately following the procedure, patients may encounter sensations of tenderness, redness, and notably tightened skin. It’s not uncommon for the skin to exhibit signs such as weeping, oozing, or warmth to the touch. Additionally, some degree of swelling, peeling, and flaking may occur. These effects are entirely normal and typically resolve within the initial week or so.

The duration of Morpheus 8 skin tightening results varies for each individual due to unique skin characteristics. However, most patients typically enjoy the benefits of Morpheus8 for a period ranging from 1 to 3 years before considering a follow-up treatment.
The decision comes down to your specific goals. If you seek comprehensive, enduring skin rejuvenation, Morpheus8 is the choice for you. On the other hand, if your aim is to address specific dynamic wrinkles swiftly and precisely, Botox offers a quick and targeted solution. Botox provides a rapid fix, while Morpheus 8 can effectively turn back the clock on your skin’s aging process.
After your Botox treatment, you must follow a few precautions to prevent the injected toxin from spreading to other nearby areas. These include:
Ideal candidates for Morpheus 8 typically fall within the age range of 30 to 50 years old and exhibit mild to moderate skin laxity. In certain instances, undergoing Morpheus8 at a younger age may even serve as a preventive measure, potentially reducing the likelihood of requiring a facelift in the future.
