Morpheus8: radiofrequency and microneedling combined

The clinic offers Morpheus8 for skin rejuvenation.

Winner of an innovation award in 2020, the technique combines the precision of fractional radiofrequency with microneedling.

The results are marked, and they look natural.

What the technique does

Morpheus8 is used to firm the skin and improve its overall condition.

It activates the fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

That remodels the tissue beneath the surface, which is where the lifting effect comes from.

Who is it for?

The treatment is indicated to:

Firm skin that has become lax, improving its elasticity and tone.

Lift the face and neck, and treat fine lines and crêpey skin on the inner arms, the inner thighs and above the knees.

Smooth wrinkles.

Soften stretch marks, treat active acne, and reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Soften scarring, including acne and hypertrophic scars.

Because it can be used on every skin colour, it suits a wide range of patients.

The session, and how comfortable it is

Your comfort matters throughout.

After the skin has been thoroughly cleansed, the doctor sets the treatment according to your skin.

With very fine needles and an anaesthetic cream, the procedure is comfortable.

Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes. The recommended course is 4 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart.

Afterwards

Shortly after the session you may notice mild redness and slight swelling. Both settle quickly.

You can return to your usual activities without waiting.

Keeping the skin well moisturised and using sun protection helps the treatment do its work.

The results

The effects appear gradually over the months that follow, as collagen production revitalises the skin at depth.

Your skin becomes visibly smoother, firmer and more elastic, and the result looks natural and lasts.

Morpheus8 does not simply work on the surface: it works from within the skin.

Common questions

What to know before you decide.

Morpheus8 combines bipolar radiofrequency (FaceTite) with fractional bipolar radiofrequency (Fractora, modified as Morpheus8). It has been shown to improve the firmness of the skin of the face and neck significantly, reducing the signs of ageing without excisional surgery. Most patients reported high satisfaction, with a mean improvement of 1.4 points on the Baker Face/Neck classification scale, indicating a notable reduction in skin laxity (Dayan et al., 2020).

Yes. Morpheus8 is effective across a range of dermatological conditions, notably skin laxity, acne and scarring. It is a minimally invasive radiofrequency microneedling method, and recovery time is shorter than with more invasive approaches (Hendricks & Farhang, 2022).

You can expect a prickling or mild burning sensation during treatment. A topical anaesthetic is applied beforehand to keep this to a minimum, and most patients find the procedure well tolerated.

Morpheus8 is generally safe, but some side effects have been reported: prolonged swelling (in 4.8% of cases), an area of induration (in 3.2%), and marginal mandibular neuropraxia (in 1.2%). All of these resolved without further intervention (Dayan et al., 2020).

Because it works by radiofrequency, Morpheus8 is generally regarded as safe and effective across a wide range of skin types. A consultation beforehand is recommended to confirm that it suits your skin in particular.

Results vary, but improvements in skin texture and firmness and in the appearance of scarring and acne can be long-lasting. Patients report high satisfaction and a willingness to repeat the treatment. Periodic maintenance sessions may be advisable to keep the result over the long term.
