Morpheus8

FDA-approved Morpheus8 microneedling is effective and safe for all skin types and complexions.

Morpheus8 microneedling with RF technology is effective for all skin types and tones, including sensitive skin and darker shades. It is safe for healthy individuals unless they are experiencing an active skin infection. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should delay their treatment.

For your safety, we require all microneedling RF candidates to complete a health screening with our medical staff to determine their candidacy.

An hour before your treatment, we will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort. Because this product desensitizes nerve endings, most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable — like a mild heating sensation with an occasional, fleeting zap as the tiny needles quickly pass over your skin.

Following your Morpheus8 treatment, we will apply nourishing serums directly to your skin, where they will absorb and provide excellent benefits.

After microneedling with Morpheus8, your skin will appear red and feel slightly tender, much like a sunburn. You may experience tiny pinprick marks on your skin that will soon crust and flake off. The redness usually disperses within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the depth of your treatment. Most patients can return to work and resume social activities after one day.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, allowing deeper penetration into the dermis and subdermal layers. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen more effectively, tightens skin, and remodels tissue for longer-lasting results compared to surface-level microneedling.

Morpheus8 uses fractional RF energy delivered through microneedles to heat the deeper layers of skin. This controlled thermal injury triggers the body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin synthesis for firmer, smoother skin.

Yes! Morpheus8 is highly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles by tightening skin and improving texture. RF energy remodels collagen fibers while microneedling promotes new cell growth, leading to a more youthful appearance.

Absolutely! Morpheus8 penetrates deeply into the dermis to remodel scar tissue and smooth uneven skin texture. It’s especially beneficial for atrophic acne scars and enlarged pores, delivering visible improvements in tone and clarity.

Initial improvements may appear within a few days to 3 weeks, with optimal results developing over 3 months as collagen production peaks. Most patients benefit from 1 to 3 sessions for long-lasting rejuvenation.

Morpheus8 is one of our most versatile treatments and can treat the face, neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hands, and knees. It’s ideal for tightening skin, reducing scars, and improving texture across multiple areas of the body.

Yes! Morpheus8 is what we like to call a color-blind RF technology, meaning it’s safe for all skin tones and types, including darker complexions. It minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation and can be customized for sensitive or thick skin.

Recovery time is usually minimal. Most patients experience redness and swelling for 1 to 3 days, similar to a mild sunburn. We typically recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours to apply makeup, but patients can resume most normal activities quickly. However, we do recommend that you refrain from strenuous activities that cause sweating the first day or two after treatment to avoid infection. Focus on keeping your skin clean and drinking plenty of water.

Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, and micro-lesions. Downtime is minimal, with most people returning to daily routines within a few days. Rare risks like hyperpigmentation are minimized with proper aftercare. We encourage our clients to never skip sunscreen, rain or shine. You should also properly moisturize your skin during healing and follow all aftercare instructions to ensure the results you desire.
