This powerful and innovative skin rejuvenation device combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to create controlled microinjuries that soon will lead to new collagen and elastin production that resurfaces and firms skin. It tightens the skin at the same time it improves texture and tone.
In the face and neck, it helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it firms and tightens skin laxity, including on the eyelids, it smooths skin texture, it reduces the appearance of large pores, and it can help treat hyperpigmentation, acne, scarring, and rosacea.
At a deeper level, Morpheus8 is also able to burn fat tissue and promote subdermal adipose tissue remodeling and neocollagenesis that helps smooths the appearance of cellulitis and define other areas, such as jaw line.

​
How does Morpheus8 work?
This marvelous equipment works by stimulating new collagen production within the dermis layer of the skin. This stimulation occurs through radiofrequency energy delivery through the needles directly into the skin. As these needles pass over each hair follicle, they deliver electrical impulses that stimulate new collagen fibers’ growth.
​
What sets Morpheus8 apart from other treatments?
Different to traditional laser or light therapy, which only treats surface-level issues, Morpheus8 works on the different levels of the skin, at a superficial and at a deep level. It creates a smooth, even appearance without any downtime.

I Have Had Microneedling Before, How Is Morpheus8 Different?
Morpheus8 is microneedling with added radio frequency in the same device, delivered together and giving us powerful results. In addition, Morpheus8 has an adjustable depth (up to 7 mm) at the end of these fine pins, where radio frequency waves are emitted (at 8th mm, therefore Morpheus8). What this means is that you get a double whammy when it comes to skin rejuvenation and tightening. The microneedles cause a controlled injury that results in formation of new collagen and elastin (the fibers responsible for skin tightening). In addition, the radio frequency waves also stimulate collagen and elastin formation. SO, you have skin rejuvenation occurring from 2 different formats!! It is a great alternative to surgery if you are not ready to undergo the knife.
