Morpheus8 is an FDA-approved skin treatment method that combines two proven technologies:
Radiofrequency (RF) treatment — which uses controlled heat to tighten lax skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Microneedling — which uses fine needles to prick the skin and stimulate new tissue growth, smoothing, firming, and evening complexion and minimizing scars and wrinkles
In a Morpheus8 treatment, radiofrequency (RF) energy is emitted into the underlying skin while microneedling happens on the surface, combining the effects of the two technologies. Morpheus8 stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the middle and lower layers of the skin— proteins and compounds that help keep the skin on the surface looking young and fresh.
By reaching the skin’s deeper layers, Morpheus8 produces better results than either microneedling or RF treatments could do by themselves. Applying RF directly to the middle and lower levels of the skin also minimizes the risk of damaging the skin’s surface or triggering a hyperpigmentation response, which can be a drawback of other skin resurfacing treatments.
Morpheus8 can:
Morpheus8 can be used almost anywhere on the body. It is most commonly used to treat the face, neck, and abdomen.
One of Morpheus8’s most notable benefits is that it works well with all skin tones and has little risk of hyperpigmentation. Where some cosmetic treatments are recommended only for lighter skin, Morpheus8 works equally well with light and dark skin tones.
That’s a long list of potential benefits from a fast and easy treatment that requires almost no downtime. You may have some mild redness for up to a week after a treatment, but that can usually be concealed with makeup after the first day or two.
Morpheus8 can also be combined with other treatments for even greater effect.Â
