What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to lift, tighten, and contour the skin. During the treatment, ultra-thin, silicone-coated needles penetrate the skin and deliver RF energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production while remodeling the underlying tissue. 

This advanced technology targets a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Sagging skin
• Crepiness
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven texture
• Acne scarring

Whether you’re looking to smooth, firm, or sculpt your skin, Morpheus RF microneedling offers powerful results without the downtime of surgery.

How Does Morpheus8 Treatment Work? 

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel skin at deeper levels than microneedling or most laser treatments. 

During this minimally invasive treatment, ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-injuries while simultaneously delivering RF energy deep below the skin’s surface. This dual action stimulates the body’s natural healing response – boosting collagen and elastin production and encouraging cell renewal. This results in tissue remodeling that lifts, tightens, and rejuvenates the skin for a firmer, more youthful appearance.

What makes a Morpheus8 treatment particularly effective is its customizability:

• We can tailor the depth and intensity of the RF energy and microneedling based on your skin type, treatment area, and aesthetic goals. 
• With multiple device tips, Morpheus RF microneedling can be used to treat both large areas, like the abdomen, and smaller areas such as under the eyes or around the mouth. 
• The device also delivers heat in a controlled, uniform way, ensuring consistent results across the treatment area.

Benefits of Morpheus8

Visible Changes

• Smooths fine lines and wrinkles: Morpheus8 creates controlled micro-injuries by penetrating the deep layers of the skin with radiofrequency energy. As the skin repairs itself, it produces collagen and increases elasticity, softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Reduces scars and stretch marks: Morpheus8 is highly customizable, allowing us to adjust both the depth and intensity of treatment. This makes it highly effective for treating a wide range of scars and skin irregularities, including those caused by acne, surgery, or trauma. By tailoring the treatment to individual skin conditions, we’re able to break down scar tissue and stimulate tissue remodeling in problem areas.
• Minimizes enlarged pores: A Morpheus8 treatment increases the production of collagen and elastin in the skin – the key proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. As the skin tightens and becomes firmer, pores appear smaller and less visible.
• Reduces hyperpigmentation: Morpheus8 promotes the turnover of damaged, pigmented cells and helps replace them with new, healthy ones. This process reduces the appearance of sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation.
• Sculpts jawline: Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency energy into multiple layers of the skin to remodel and tighten tissue and lift sagging skin. This results in visibly improved skin laxity and increased definition.
• Firms and tightens areas of excess fat: Morpheus8 delivers targeted energy that breaks down fat cells beneath the skin, contouring stubborn areas like the chin and underarms while also firming the surface layer of skin. 
• Improves skin tone and texture: Morpheus RF microneedling targets both superficial imperfections, like enlarged pores, and deeper structural issues by resurfacing the top layers of the skin while promoting collagen renewal in deeper layers. 

Lasting Results

One of the many Morpheus RF microneedling benefits is that your results will be long-lasting. Many clients enjoy their results for well over a year before any touch-ups are needed. 

Following your Morpheus8 treatments, we recommend avoiding extended sun exposure, applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits to help maximize and extend your results.

Morpheus8 Before and After

Morpheus8 Treatment

Before the Treatment

During your complimentary consultation, our knowledgeable team is here to answer any questions you have about Morpheus RF microneedling. We will also use this time to discuss your medical history, current medications, primary skin concerns, and aesthetic goals to ensure we tailor your treatment package to your unique needs.

Our providers will also evaluate your skin type to confirm if Morpheus8 is right for you and provide specific preparation instructions before your treatment.  

During the Treatment

A Morpheus8 treatment session typically lasts from 30 – 60 minutes, though specific timing will depend on the size of the area being treated and your unique skin requirements.

Your provider will select the device tip that best suits your skin’s needs. Before treatment begins, your provider will apply numbing cream to the treatment area – or provide a nitrous oxide application – to ensure your comfort. 

Once the effects of the numbing cream have set in, your provider will pass the Morpheus8 handpiece over the skin in the treatment area. As the device passes over the skin, most clients will feel a combination of heat and pressure on the treated area – similar to a prickling sensation.

A series of needles extending from the device’s handpiece will penetrate the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the subdermal tissue. The combination of the needles and radiofrequency energy will create micro-injuries and heat the underlying tissue, which will then stimulate the healing process. 

After the Treatment

• Treatment day: Immediately following treatment, your skin will be red and sensitive. The redness will gradually fade to pink over the course of the day, and your skin may feel tighter than usual. Some clients may experience slight bruising or swelling.
• Days 2 – 4: Your skin will likely remain pink, and you may experience dryness, sensitivity, and irritation in some areas. Pin-point bleeding marks and small scabs may appear as the skin begins the healing process. 
• Day 5+: Your skin will start to return to normal.
• Week 3+: More significant results will begin to set in, unveiling a brighter, tighter, and more youthful appearance. Your skin will continue to improve for up to three to six months following treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

In the days following your Morpheus8 treatment, we recommend you follow the guidelines below to maximize results and expedite your recovery:

• Keep the treatment area clean to prevent irritation or infection
• Avoid any products that will cause irritation, such as scrubs or retinoids, until your skin is fully healed
• Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on a daily basis 
• Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours  
• Protect the treated area from over-exposure to the sun for at least one month 
• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 – 72 hours post-treatment 

After your treatment, your provider will share personalized post-care instructions tailored to your skin type and treatment area.

Morpehus8 Results 

Our clients have noticed drastic improvements in their skin after just one treatment. However, for the most dramatic, long-term results, we recommend a series of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. 

Morpheus8 delivers long-lasting results, with most clients enjoying visible improvements for a year or more. Because skin continues to age over time, we suggest a maintenance session every 12 – 18 months to keep your skin looking its best.

During your consultation, our team members will work with you to determine the treatment plan best suited for you.  

Morpheus8 Downtime 

Unlike surgery or invasive procedures, there is minimal downtime following a Morpheus8 treatment. Clients can typically return to their work and daily routine promptly after their treatment. 

Given there will likely be residual redness, irritation, and swelling in the first couple of days post-treatment, some clients find it works best with their schedule to have their Morpheus8 treatment on a Friday to allow time over the weekend to heal. 

We strongly advise that all clients follow the post-treatment care instructions that will be shared by your provider – doing so will ensure a smooth and speedy recovery. 

To further enhance your Morpheus8 results and expedite recovery, BodyLase also offers exosome therapy. Derived from stem cells, exosomes are rich in growth factors that soothe inflammation, reduce redness, and support rapid skin recovery. Applied immediately after your treatment, exosomes help minimize post-procedure irritation and further promote collagen production. 

Your provider will be happy to discuss whether exosome therapy is right for you during your visit. 

How Much Does Morpheus8 Cost? 

Morpheus8 pricing at BodyLase begins at $1,250, with the final cost determined by the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions performed. 

While noticeable improvements can be seen after just one treatment, we typically recommend a series of three treatments for optimal, long-lasting results. We offer discounted package pricing to provide greater value and help maximize your results. To make treatment even more accessible, BodyLase partners with CareCredit and Cherry to offer flexible, interest-free financing. 

Our team is here to help you reach your aesthetic goals at a price point that suits your budget.
