What it is
Morpheus8 uses a handpiece with very fine needles. As the needles enter the skin, they release radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers. The heat and the tiny channels together prompt your skin to repair itself and make new collagen.
Most of the energy lands below the surface, so the top layer stays largely intact. You'll see some change within a few weeks. It keeps improving for about three months.
What it can do for you
Morpheus8 works on the deeper layers, where laxity and scarring live.
- Loose skin along the jawline and neck looks firmer.
- Acne scars become shallower and less noticeable.
- Fine lines and crepey texture smooth out.
- Enlarged pores look smaller.
Is it right for me?
Morpheus8 suits most skin types and tones, which is one reason it's popular. It's a good fit for mild to moderate laxity. More significant loose skin may need a surgical option, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case.
Not recommended if
You're pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection, cold sore or acne flare in the area, have taken isotretinoin in the last six months, have a pacemaker or metal implants near the area, or tend to form keloid scars.

Questions
The ones we hear most.
Does Morpheus8 hurt?
We apply numbing cream first. Most people feel warmth and pressure, and some areas are more sensitive than others.
How many Morpheus8 treatments does it take?
Usually three, about four to six weeks apart. After that, one session a year helps keep the result.
When will I see Morpheus8 results?
Some change shows at about three weeks. Collagen keeps building, so it continues to improve for around three months.
Is Morpheus8 safe for darker skin?
Morpheus8 is generally suitable for all skin tones because most of the energy goes below the surface. Your provider will adjust the settings for your skin.
Can I go back to work the day after Morpheus8?
Many people do. Your skin will look pink and a little rough for a few days, which some prefer to wait out at home.
