If you have been researching treatments for skin texture, firmness, acne scarring or visible signs of ageing, you may have come across Morpheus8. But what is Morpheus8, how does it work and what does the treatment actually do?
Morpheus8 is an advanced treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target the deeper layers of the skin. It is used on the face and body and can address a range of common skin concerns.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a form of radiofrequency microneedling.
The treatment uses very fine microneedles to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the surface of the skin. This creates controlled heat within the targeted tissue and stimulates the body's natural healing response, including collagen production and tissue remodelling.
Unlike traditional microneedling alone, Morpheus8 combines the action of microneedling with RF energy, allowing the treatment to work at selected depths beneath the skin.
What does Morpheus8 do?
Morpheus8 can be used to address a number of skin concerns, including:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Acne scarring
-
Skin laxity
-
Areas of uneven skin appearance
-
Changes associated with ageing
The treatment can be customised to different areas of the face and body, with the depth and treatment settings adjusted by the practitioner.
How does Morpheus8 work?
Morpheus8 works by combining microneedling and radiofrequency energy in a single treatment.
As the microneedles enter the skin, RF energy is delivered into targeted tissue. The combination creates a controlled response that stimulates collagen production and remodelling within the treated area.
These changes continue to develop following treatment as the body's natural healing and remodelling processes take place.
Where can Morpheus8 be used?
Morpheus8 can be used across a number of areas of the face and body.
On the face, treatment may focus on areas such as the cheeks, jawline, lower face and neck, depending on the concerns being addressed.
It can also be used on selected areas of the body where skin texture or laxity is a concern.
How long does Morpheus8 take to work?
Morpheus8 is designed to produce progressive changes rather than an immediate final result.
The body's response continues after treatment as collagen production and tissue remodelling take place. Changes may therefore continue to develop over the weeks and months following treatment.
Your practitioner can discuss the treatment plan and expected timeframe during your consultation.
What is the recovery after Morpheus8?
There is generally a recovery period following Morpheus8. Redness, swelling, tenderness and temporary changes to the appearance or texture of the skin can occur after treatment.
Your practitioner will provide appropriate aftercare instructions and explain what to expect during the recovery period.
