Microneedling
Fine needles create microscopic channels in the skin, prompting the body to begin the repair process and form new tissue.
PROGRAM
Morpheus8
DEEP RF SKIN REMODELING
Tighten, renew collagen, and remodel skin from deeper layers
When the skin begins to lose firmness, pores appear enlarged, or acne scars remain visible, the concern may not lie only on the outer skin but may involve collagen and deeper tissue structures.
Topical skincare or surface treatments alone may therefore be insufficient for certain concerns.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency, or RF, to deliver controlled heat at depths selected by the physician through the concept:
Microneedle + Fractional RF + Remodel
It stimulates collagen and elastin production, remodels the skin structure, increases firmness, and reduces the thickness of accumulated fat, with depth and energy that can be tailored to each area.
What Is Morpheus8?
WHAT IS IT?
Morpheus8 is a fractional RF microneedling technology that uses fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy directly beneath the skin, with depth adjustable down to the subcutaneous fat layer.
The needles create small channels in the skin while releasing heat energy at a set depth to stimulate tissue contraction and begin the natural repair process.
As the skin gradually produces and reorganizes new collagen, it becomes firmer and tighter, pores and some fine lines look finer and smoother, and the surface of certain acne scars and other scars is improved. It can also help reduce the thickness of accumulated fat beneath the skin.
Different tips support different treatment depths, and each tip can deliver energy through several levels of deeper tissue. The specialist physician selects the tip, depth, and energy to suit the location and each type of skin concern. It can be performed safely across the face, eyelids, and neck, where fat, nerves, and important structures lie beneath the skin.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Fractional Radiofrequency Energy
Once the needles reach the selected depth, RF energy is released into the target tissue, creating controlled heat within the skin with precision.
Collagen & Elastin Remodeling
Energy delivered into the skin causes existing collagen fibers to contract while stimulating the production and reorganization of new collagen and elastin, so the skin gradually becomes firmer and more elastic.
Multi-Level Treatment
The physician can adjust the depth of energy delivery to address concerns at several levels, from the shallow surface, such as pores and acne scars, to the middle layer with laxity, and the deeper layer with fibrosis and clustered fat accumulation.
Subdermal Remodeling
With appropriate energy, the structure of the tissue beneath the skin can be remodeled precisely, balancing the facial contour naturally.
PROGRAM
Morpheus8
Microneedling + RF
Combines skin stimulation with fine needles and RF energy in a single procedure.
Adjustable Depth
Needle depth and energy level can be adjusted to suit the concern and the treatment area.
Collagen Remodeling
Helps stimulate the production and reorganization of new collagen so the skin looks firmer, tighter, and smoother.
Face + Body
Programs can be designed for the face, neck, and body, using the tip and energy settings suited to each area.
Progressive Results
Results develop gradually through the process of skin renewal and new collagen formation.
Which Concerns Can Morpheus8 Address?
SKIN LAXITY
Helps stimulate contraction and remodeling of tissue, collagen, and elastin, so that lax skin looks firmer and well contoured, the facial contour looks more defined, the skin tightens, and neck lines are reduced for an elegant, slender neck.
ACNE SCARS
Fractional Microneedling RF energy helps stimulate the production and reorganization of collagen within the skin, making certain types of acne scars look shallower and the skin surface more even.
ENLARGED PORES
As the collagen and elastin structure around the pores is restored, pores look finer and smoother until they are less noticeable.
FINE LINES
Helps address fine lines on the face and neck caused by the deterioration of the collagen layer beneath the skin.
UNEVEN SKIN TEXTURE
Suitable for those with uneven skin texture and certain types of scars. The physician adjusts the level of treatment according to the concern in each skin layer.
LOCALIZED FAT & CONTOURING
In areas with appropriate indications, deep energy helps reduce localized fat accumulation, such as jowls, double chin, and neck bands.
BODY REMODELING
Can be used on body areas with lax skin, stretch marks, or uneven texture, such as the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, and hips, with an appropriate treatment tip and depth selected.
TREATMENT AREA
Which Areas Can Morpheus8 Treat?
Face and Facial Contour
Addresses lax skin, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven texture while improving firmness in suitable areas.
Double Chin and Neck
Helps address neck bands, reduces double chin, and remodels localized tissue according to the physician’s assessment.
Eye Area
Used to address fine lines and laxity of the upper eyelids and under-eye bags.
Abdomen, Upper Arms, Thighs, and Hips
Helps address lax skin and stretch marks resulting from pregnancy or weight loss.
Who Is Suitable for This Program?
- ✓Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity
- ✓Individuals whose facial contour is not well defined
- ✓Individuals with enlarged pores or uneven texture
- ✓Individuals with selected acne scars or other scars
- ✓Individuals with fine lines and early loss of firmness
- ✓Individuals with stretch marks or body skin laxity
- ✓Individuals who want multi-depth skin remodeling in one program
- ✓Individuals who understand that results develop gradually and may require more than one session
When Will Results Become Visible?
Immediately After Treatment
The skin may feel tighter as the tissue responds, and slight redness may occur.
During the First 1–3 Days
Redness and the feeling of warmth or tightness gradually subside. Some people may have brief dryness.
Within 2–4 Weeks
As the skin begins to recover, texture may look smoother, pores finer, and the skin begins to firm up, with the face and neck looking better contoured.
Within 3–6 Months
Results gradually become clearer as new collagen is produced and reorganized. The skin may look firmer, smoother, and stronger.
The timeline and degree of improvement depend on the concern, treatment depth and energy, number of sessions, age, skin quality, and aftercare.
How Many Morpheus8 Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on each person’s concerns and goals. Some may begin to notice changes after the first session, while many cases may require approximately 1–3 sessions, spaced around 4–6 weeks apart, or as assessed by the physician.
Deep acne scars, more significant laxity, or multi-layered concerns may require an ongoing series or a combination with other procedures.
The physician will assess the response after each session before adjusting depth, energy, and the number of treatments.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results develop gradually through new collagen formation and remodeling.
The longevity of collagen-related results varies by individual and depends on age, skin condition, weight changes, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skincare.
Some patients may see results continue for approximately 6 months to 1 year, depending on the age of the collagen and elastin fibers in our bodies.
Tips! Morpheus8
Morpheus8 should not be performed with one uniform setting across the entire face because skin thickness, fat layers, and important structures vary by area. The key is determining:
- Which areas require surface remodeling
- Which areas should focus on tightening
- Which areas need their fat layer preserved
It should therefore be performed by a specialist physician who is trained and has long experience with the program.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: A topical anesthetic cream is applied before treatment to reduce sensation on the skin. During treatment, you may feel pressure and a warm radiofrequency sensation in spots. The level of sensation depends on the area, depth, energy, and each person’s response.
A: Deep energy that reaches the fat layer helps adjust proportions and reduce fat accumulation in specific spots. It is safe and does not make the face look hollow when the energy is appropriately adjusted and the program is performed by a specialist physician.
A: Morpheus8 stimulates collagen production and reorganizes its structure, making the overall surface of acne scars look smoother.
A: Changes can be seen from the first treatment. On average, about 1–3 sessions spaced around 4–6 weeks apart are needed for those who want to treat acne scars, and an average of 1–2 sessions per year for those who want to focus on lifting and tightening the face and neck, depending on the concern and the skin’s response.
A: Avoid makeup for at least 48–72 hours to help reduce the risk of blockage, infection, and irritation from cosmetics.
A: Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Avoid fruit acids, retinoids, scrubbing granules, heat, face masks, and strenuous exercise. Use medication and sunscreen as directed by the physician, and do not pick, scratch, or rub the treated area.
A: Common effects include faint redness along the tiny needle marks or temporary dryness, which disappears within 3–7 days. Very rare complications include infection, pigmentation changes, and fat atrophy. These usually result from inappropriate treatment and a lack of expertise.
A: Results may last approximately 6 months to 1 year, or longer in some people, depending on age, skin condition, sun exposure, weight changes, and self-care. The skin will continue to change naturally as we age.
A: People with infection or inflammation in the treatment area, a medical condition affecting wound healing, those taking certain medications, those with implanted electronic devices, or those who are pregnant should give the physician a complete health and medication history before treatment.
