WHAT IS MORPHEUS8?
Morpheus8 is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and contour the face and body via subdermal adipose remodeling. It is considered a minimally invasive option for skin tightening and collagen remodeling.
The controlled and safe application of radiofrequency in Morpheus8 effectively transforms the skin, enhancing skin texture, diminishing pore size, eliminating acne scars while reducing small pockets of stubborn fat.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MORPHEUS8?
SKIN TIGHTENING
Morpheus8 is often recognized as the "non-surgical facelift" procedure. Morpheus8 uses radio frequency to tightening tissue. Radiofrequency is the wavelength used to deliver heat and energy to multiple layers to tighten the skin.
Morpheus8 is effective in reducing sagging in various areas, including the neck, chin, jowls, and other parts of the body.
During a Morpheus8 procedure, ultra-thin needles that emit radiofrequency energy are precisely inserted into the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. With advanced settings, these micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which are the essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin firmness, tightness, and a smooth texture.
A series of recommended treatments, determined during a pre-treatment consultation at Dose of Aesthetics, can result in a noticeable result of skin tightening.
ACNE SCARRING
Morpheus8 can help with acne scarring through its combination of microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. Here's how it works:
- Microneedling: The microneedles create tiny, controlled injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body's natural healing response, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This increased collagen production can help fill in and smoothen the appearance of acne scars over time.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Energy: Morpheus8 also delivers RF energy alongside the microneedling. RF energy has a skin-tightening effect and further stimulates collagen production. This helps to improve the texture of the skin, reduce the visibility of scars, and promote skin rejuvenation.
By combining these two techniques, Morpheus8 can be effective in addressing various types of acne scars, including atrophic scars (depressed scars), hypertrophic scars (raised scars), and icepick scars. The treatment encourages the body to rebuild and repair the damaged skin, leading to a smoother and more even skin texture.
It's important to note that the extent of improvement in acne scarring can vary depending on the depth and severity of the scars, as well as the individual's skin type and response to the treatment. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, and it's advisable to schedule a consultation so we can determine 1. 2.
ACTIVE ACNE
Morpheus8 effectively disrupts the activity of acne-causing bacteria. It not only eliminates these bacteria and ablates skin tissue but also gradually reduces and inhibits the function of the sebaceous glands situated just beneath the skin's surface.
By doing so, it halts the entire acne-triggering process before it can initiate. The reduction in oil production, which is the primary source of nourishment for acne bacteria, leads to a decrease in inflammation and the development of pimples.
Furthermore, a series of recommended treatments, determined during a pre-treatment consultation at Dose of Aesthetics, can result in a noticeable reduction in active acne.
BUCCAL FAT PADS/UNDER CHIN FAT REMODELING
Morpheus8 has the capability to sculpt and reduce fat while stimulating collagen production.
Due to its groundbreaking skin tightening abilities, numerous patients report experiencing a more firm and sculpted facial appearance following Morpheus8 treatment. In some cases, Morpheus8 may also have the potential to address minor pockets of fat, contributing to a trimmer profile.
The Morpheus8 procedure involves the insertion of multiple microneedles into the skin, creating tiny, controlled wounds. Subsequently, radiofrequency energy is delivered into these micro-injuries, heating the deeper skin layers.
With advanced settings deep enough and at a high radiofrequency, we are able to effectively remodel and contour the face and body via subdermal adipose (body fat) remodeling.
BODY
Morpheus8 (M8) Body is the most recent radiofrequency microneedling technology approved by the FDA for deep tissue remodeling.
Using the deepest fractional technology available, Morpheus8 for Body is a fractional remodeling and contouring treatment that addresses the underlying tissues and creates new collagen production.
Morpheus8 Body features "Burst Mode" technology, which enables the automatic delivery of radiofrequency (RF) energy to various depths with a single pulse via its gold-plated microneedles. The ability to target tissue at three different levels in millisecond intervals allows for a significant reduction in treatment time, minimized skin injury, improved consistency, and the flexibility to customize full-body procedures.
The Morpheus8 Body system is effective in achieving skin tightening, fat reduction, and addressing concerns such as cellulite and sagging skin.
HYPERHIDROSIS
Morpheus8 has the capability to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive, uncontrollable sweating).
During a Morpheus8 procedure, the combination of microneedling with radiofrequency can desensitize the sweat glands, effectively eliminating excessive sweating by preventing these glands from overproducing sweat.
Typically, the procedure can be completed in one to two sessions, however, in more severe cases, multiple treatments may be recommended.
FAQ
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME AND RECOVERY PERIOD AFTER MORPHEUS8?
After your Morpheus8 session, it is common to experience redness, sensitivity, and potential mild swelling in the treated area, typically lasting for 1 to 3 days. The specific duration can vary based on individual healing times and sensitivity.
In most cases, patients usually resume their regular activities, including work and social events, within 24 hours as the side effects subside and the redness diminishes.
While it's advisable to avoid using makeup for the initial 48 hours, you can typically return to your normal skincare and makeup routine within 3 to 5 days following the procedure. We typically recommend using tinted SPF. Ask us for Dose of Aesthetics approved tinted SPFs to best pair with your Morpheus8 treatment!
IS MORPHEUS8 PAINFUL?
In order to alleviate any potential discomfort during a Morpheus8 treatment, we administer a 45-minute numbing session before your treatment using the most potent topical numbing cream currently available on the market. Furthermore, all our providers are skilled in advanced lidocaine injection techniques, ensuring a comfortable procedure for all patients.
HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Some patients report seeing subtle improvements in skin texture and firmness within a few days to a week after the procedure. These early changes may be due to initial collagen stimulation.
The most significant improvements in skin tightening and texture are often noticeable in the weeks and months following the treatment. You can typically see a visible difference within 2 to 3 weeks, with continued progress over the next 3 to 6 months as collagen production increases.
The full benefits of Morpheus8 treatment are usually achieved around 3 to 6 months after the procedure. This is when collagen remodeling is at its peak, and you'll see the most substantial improvement in skin tightening and texture.
