What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency and microneedling to remodel the face, neck, and chest skin. The treatment delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, which, along with the microneedles, generates heat and triggers the body’s natural healing process, which stimulates collagen production. The treatment works on all skin tones and skin types, and the Morpheus8 device can be adjusted to deliver the treatment that’s right for you and your needs.

As long as you don’t smoke or have any serious medical conditions, you should be a perfect candidate for Morpheus8.

Morpheus Treatment

Morpheus8 treatment is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home or back to work as soon as the treatment is over. These skin rejuvenation treatments include:

  • Our Registered Nurse Practitioner, Dana Protomastro, will apply topical numbing cream to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
  • The Morpheus8 device will deliver radiofrequency energy and microneedles to the skin’s surface.
  • Treatment can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area and if you’re having multiple areas addressed.

Recovery From Morpheus Treatment

Following the procedure, you can go about your normal daily activities immediately, though avoiding prolonged, direct sun exposure is recommended. There may be some slight swelling or bruising, but those effects will go away 1-3 days later as the skin heals. You will be able to apply makeup 1-2 days after treatment.

How Long Do the Results of Morpheus8 Last?

Your results will start to be noticeable after about three weeks, but they will fully develop about three months after Morpheus8 treatment. You may need multiple treatments to achieve the results you’re looking for. Most people need 1-3 treatment sessions, and the results can last about a year. After a year, you will likely need touch-up treatments to maintain your results.
