What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an advanced treatment that combines microneedling with targeted radiofrequency energy to stimulate both deep and superficial layers of the skin. It helps tighten, lift, and smooth by triggering natural healing processes and boosting collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.
Ideal For
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Mild skin laxity
- Under‑chin fat or jowling
- Deep nasolabial folds
Because the top skin layer remains intact, Morpheus8 poses minimal risk of pigment changes and is safe for all skin types.
Comfort & Preparation
This is a sensitive treatment requiring topical numbing—please arrive 1 hour before your appointment for anesthetic application.
Combination Treatment Option
You may combine Morpheus8 with Lutronic Ultra in the same session to enhance results for sun damage, uneven tone, and superficial fine lines. This combo adds little to no extra downtime and is discounted when bundled.
Treatment Plan
- Initial series: 3–4 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart
- Maintenance: Every 6–12 months
Contraindications
Do not undergo Morpheus8 if you have pacemakers or implanted electrical devices, metal implants near the treatment area, or active infections, open wounds, or cold sores.
