Morpheus8 is for correcting laxity and superficial skin irregularities. It improves double chin fat, sun damage, scars, active acne, stretch marks, enlarged pores, deep wrinkles and creases, loose skin, hyperpigmentation, and other irregularities of the skin tone and texture.

Patients of all ages can benefit from either Morpheus8, which targets smaller areas, or Morpheus8 Body, which is designed for larger and deeper treatments of adipose tissue.

Morpheus8, which includes two treatments in one (radiofrequency and microneedling) is the only device that’s FDA-approved to treat the skin at its depth—and it can target the skin more deeply than any other similar modality. A session involves making controlled micro-injuries at different depths, using 24-karat gold-coated pins that penetrate the skin and fat at 0.5mm-7mm.

In addition to creating collagen-inducing channels, the pins also deliver radiofrequency energy below the surface. The controlled trauma triggers the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for plumper skin. In addition to promoting skin, tissue, and collagen remodeling by triggering the healing response of the body, the technology also supports coagulation of fat tissue, with heat generated by the RF energy in the fat layer causing it to shrink.

One of the advantages of this procedure is that it’s suitable for darker skin tones and all other skin types, with a low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A series of three to five treatments may be needed over several months for optimal results.

Morpheus8 can treat the skin at varying depths during a single cycle for the maximized improvements, reduced treatment times, and a minimized risk of skin injuries. A session usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes on average. The needles can be adjusted to various depths depending on which area is being treated, and numbing creams or injections can help to manage any discomfort.
