What is Morpheus8 Microneedling?
This cutting-edge treatment is a safe and minimally invasive method for treating damaged and aging skin all over the body. The technology is able to target deeper layers of skin with precision to customize treatments specifically for your needs. However, the main goal is usually to tighten skin without any surgical intervention.
You can expect to achieve a more radiant and youthful appearance after undergoing a few treatments of radiofrequency microneedling. The best part if once the treatment is completed, you can expect long-lasting results with minimal maintenance!
Morpheus8 vs. Traditional Microneedling
Traditional microneedling boosts new collagen production by using tiny needles to pierce the skin. Your body then uses its collagen to heal these tiny channels.
Morpheus8 is similar to traditional microneedling, but it pairs with radiofrequency to enhance results. It’s the only device that can do so, and it has been proven to be more effective and powerful than microneedling alone. The radio frequency generates heat through the skin to break down and stimulate the production of new collagen as well as elastin. It also coagulates fat and strengthens connective tissues.
The Morpheus8 Treatment Process
When you come in for a Morpheus8 treatment, we will apply a numbing cream to the specified treatment area. Though the procedure causes minimal discomfort, this step ensures that you are comfortable throughout the 30-minute treatment.
Once the treatment area is prepped, our technician will apply the Morpheus8 applicator to the skin. It will typically take one to three passes to treat the area. With every pass, the applicator will penetrate the skin with 24 coated pins.
These pins go into the subdermal tissue to coagulate fat. It also contracts any connective tissues in the area to help firm and tighten up areas with sagging or wrinkles. After the procedure is completed, you can return home and resume normal activities!
Who Should Use Morpheus8?
There are a wide range of demographics who can benefit from Morpheus8 treatments. The procedure isn’t limited to one age group, however, we typically find that ideal patients are at a stage in life where they are just starting to notice signs of aging. These treatments can be used to slow down the development of saggy skin caused by a breakdown of skin elasticity.
We also have found that this treatment option is great for anyone who is looking to achieve more subtle anti-aging results. Unlike with plastic surgery, where results are instant, you can make more gradual improvements with Morpheus8.
Which Areas Can Be Treated with Morpheus8?
Most patients use Morpheus8 to target the area below their chin as well as their jowls and jawline. However, it can also be used to treat any loose skin on the stomach, legs, and arms. Morpheus8 has been shown to be effective in treating:
Acne Scars
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Melasma
Other Blemishes
Facial or Body Scars
Sun Damage
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Nasal Labial Fold Lines
Stretch Marks
Uneven Skin Tone & Texture

FAQs About Morpheus8
Because of the nature of the treatment, patients may find that their skin is swollen or bruised. However, this is usually minimal in most cases. Some people may find that their skin feels tight after their procedure, but this should go away in just a few days. It’s also reported that some patients will have some skin flaking as the microneedle punctures heal.
The maximum amount of downtime after treatment is typically three to four days, but that depends on many different factors, including the treatment area. In most cases, patients are able to resume their normal daily activities within one to two days following the procedure. Ice packs can be applied to help reduce any redness, bruising, or swelling, and patients can wear makeup or apply most topical products after a brief recovery period.
The majority of patients will see improvements after their very first Morpheus8 Mircroneedling treatment! Although, it may take multiple sessions for patients to achieve the results they desire.
We typically recommend that you schedule at least three sessions. However, they should be spaced out about four to six weeks apart. You will continue to see improvements with every session, but it could take up to six weeks from the last treatment to see the final results.
The Morpheus8 Microneedling treatment has grown in popularity because it offers long-lasting results. Without any maintenance, most people can expect the treatment results to last one to three years, depending on skin type. However, the results can be extended if you continue to receive occasional maintenance treatments. Our team can help you determine the most effective treatment plan for your skin.
