Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin texture and firmness. It is a minimally invasive treatment that can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, and stubborn areas of body fat.
During the Morpheus8 treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver the microneedles and RF energy to the skin. The microneedles create tiny punctures in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response and promote collagen production. The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to tighten and firm the skin.
Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment that can be customized to address specific skin concerns and can be used on many areas of the body, including the face, neck, and various areas of the body. It is typically performed in a series of 3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
One of the benefits of Morpheus8 is that it is a minimally invasive treatment that requires little to no downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment, although some redness, swelling, or bruising may occur in the treated area.

How it works
MICRONEEDLING:
During the procedure, a specialized device equipped with tiny, fine needles is used to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. The micro-injuries stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing process, which produces collagen and elastin—key components that help maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY:
In addition to microneedling, the device also delivers controlled RF energy into the deeper layers of the skin. RF energy generates heat, which serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing the skin’s overall texture and tightness. Secondly, the heat tightens existing collagen fibers, providing an immediate skin-tightening effect.

Morpheus is a patented technology that uses 24 gold-plated needles that deliver radiofrequency (or heat-based energy) into the skin at precise depths, both the energy and the heat delivered are based on the desired outcome.
Morpheus8 uniquely combines microneedling technology with radiofrequency therapy to stimulate collagen production, reduce targeted fat tissue, and resurface the skin.
-
Unfortunately, we stop producing collagen in our 20’s. Collagen is responsible for strong, firm skin which yields a more youthful appearance. When our skin loses its collagen it thins, becomes saggy, and wrinkles.

Both are great tools! But used to target different results.
Morpheus is able to target subdermal layers of the skin, whereas SkinPen is treated more superficially.
