“By targeting deeper layers, Morpheus8 activates your skin's natural regenerative processes to support skin quality improvements.”

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a FDA-approved treatment that combines two powerful technologies — microneedling and fractional radiofrequency (RF). This procedure creates micro-channels on the skin’s surface while simultaneously delivering RF energy into the deeper layers, triggering a cascade of skin regenerative responses.

Its dual-action approach kickstarts an intensive skin renewal process through three key mechanisms:

  1. Stimulate collagen fibroblasts: Activates the skin's natural processes to produce new collagen and elastin, building a foundation for youthful, resilient skin

  2. Contract existing collagen fibers: Promotes skin tightening while remodeling the skin's underlying support structure for enhanced firmness and elasticity

  3. Remodel adipose tissue: Targets subcutaneous fat deposits to improve skin texture, minimize cellulite and stretch marks, and refine body contours

Key Benefits of Morpheus8

With adjustable depth settings from 0.5mm to 8mm, Morpheus8 tackles a spectrum of concerns, from surface-level texture irregularities to deep-rooted issues such as severe skin laxity, cellulite, and stubborn stretch marks.

Facial Rejuvenation

Morpheus8 offers a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation by simultaneously targeting multiple skin layers. By precisely targeting depths of up to 4mm beneath the skin’s surface, it addresses signs of aging and skin imperfections across the epidermis, dermis and subdermal tissue layers.

This enables deep collagen stimulation and skin remodeling, effectively addressing skin concerns directly at their foundational source.

The benefits of Morpheus8 for the face include the ability to:

  • Tighten and lift sagging skin

  • Diminish fine lines and wrinkles

  • Reduce the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores

  • Improve overall skin texture and tone

  • Restore skin elasticity

Body Contouring & Skin Tightening

Extending beyond facial rejuvenation, Morpheus8 employs customisable depths of up to 8mm to target deeper skin and fat layers, comprehensively addressing skin laxity, fat distribution, and textural imperfections across multiple body regions.

This capability allows for precise sculpting and refinement in areas such as the neck, décolletage, abdomen, thighs, and arms.

The benefits of Morpheus8 for the body include the ability to:

  • Diminish stretch marks

  • Minimize appearance of cellulite

  • Firm loose or sagging skin

  • Address skin laxity on neck and décolletage

  • Reduce stubborn fat deposits in hard-to-lose areas

Morpheus8 Scientific Evidence: Efficacy & Outcomes

Learn more about Morpheus8's potential with our medical director, Dr. Jonathan Lee as he breaks down the clinical research behind this treatment, helping you understand the improvements you can expect for your skin.

Dr. Lee highlights two key findings from these clinical studies:

  1. 37% increase in skin contraction: clinically associated with noticeable skin tightening effects

  2. 30% increase in collagen fiber structural integrity: correlating with reduced skin laxity and increased resilience to aging

Morpheus8's combination of microneedling and fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy targets collagen fibroblasts in the skin's deeper layers — translating to multiple benefits for patients, including enhanced skin texture and increased firmness and tightness — particularly in areas prone to wrinkles and sagging.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns on both the face and body. On the face, Morpheus8 is particularly effective in addressing fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and other types of scarring, enlarged pores, sagging skin and loss of elasticity, uneven skin texture and tone, as well as jowls and double chins.

    The treatment's benefits extend beyond facial rejuvenation, as it can treat various body concerns too such as reducing the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, and tightening loose or sagging skin after signifficant weight loss. It's also effective in targeting stubborn fat deposits, particularly on the body contours, offering a non-surgical option for body sculpting.

    In addition to treating these specific concerns, Morpheus8 helps increase the skin's resilience to aging by stimulating collagen and elastin production. This boost in essential skin proteins enhances the skin's overall structure, firmness, and elasticity, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

  • The Morpheus8 treatment is generally well-tolerated by most patients. A topical numbing cream is applied 30 minutes before the procedure to ensure your comfort, and most of our patients describe the feeling as a series of quick, tiny pinches on the skin's surface. This sensation is typically short-lived and subsides quickly after the treatment.

  • Morpheus8 results can be long-lasting, with most patients experiencing noticeable improvements in skin quality and appearance for 12 to 18 months after completing their initial series of treatments. The longevity of these results stems from Morpheus8's ability to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production, which continues to enhance skin texture and firmness over time.

  • Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile and inclusive treatment option. The depth of the microneedles and the intensity of the RF energy can be precisely adjusted to suit specific skin tones and individual needs, allowing our doctors to tailor the treatment to each patient's unique skin characteristics.

    Individuals with darker skin tones may be at risk of hyperpigmentation with traditional laser resurfacing treatments, but Morpheus8 does not pose this risk as it utilises a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling (instead of light-based technology) which is less likely to trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

  • Morpheus8 has minimal downtime, making it a popular option for individuals with busy schedules. Most patients experience a brief recovery period, typically lasting 1-2 days following the procedure. During this time, you may observe temporary effects such as mild redness and swelling, but these symptoms generally subside rapidly.

    Many individuals find they can resume their normal routines the next day — though its advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for about a week to allow the skin to heal.

  • The number of Morpheus8 sessions required varies based on your skin condition and desired outcomes. Patients with minor skin concerns, such as fine lines or mild laxity, may observe satisfactory results after just one or two treatments. However, those with more significant issues like deep wrinkles, severe acne scarring, or substantial skin laxity often require the full series of treatments to achieve marked improvement.

    For optimal results, our doctors recommend an initial series of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule allows sufficient time for skin healing and collagen production between sessions, ensuring gradual and noticeable improvements.
