Morpheus8

Most clients report minimal discomfort during Morpheus8 treatment. We apply a topical numbing cream 30-45 minutes before your procedure to ensure comfort. Many describe the sensation as mild pressure with occasional warmth. For more sensitive individuals or larger treatment areas, we offer additional comfort measures.

Your journey to youthful, tight skin begins with a personalised consultation. Our experienced laser therapists will:

1. Assess your skin
2. Create a customised treatment plan
3. Explain the process in detail
4. Answer any questions you may have

The Morpheus8 face treatment represents a significant advancement in non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This innovative procedure targets multiple skin concerns simultaneously, delivering radiofrequency energy through ultra-fine needles to stimulate collagen production and remodel facial tissue.

• Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks before treatment
• Inform your practitioner about any medications you’re taking, especially blood thinners
• Increase your water intake in the days leading up to the procedure
• Remove any makeup or lotions before treatment

The number of Morpheus8 treatments needed depends on your specific concerns and goals. For facial rejuvenation, most clients achieve optimal results with 1-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Body treatments typically require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your provider will create a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

One of Morpheus8’s major advantages is minimal downtime. Most clients experience mild redness and swelling for 1-3 days, similar to a sunburn. Tiny crusts may form at needle entry points but typically resolve within 24-72 hours. Most people return to normal activities within 1-2 days, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise for 2-3 days.

Some clients notice immediate skin tightening effects after their first Morpheus8 treatment. However, the most significant improvements develop over time as collagen production increases. You’ll typically see noticeable improvements within 3 weeks, with results continuing to improve for up to 3-6 months. For body treatments, fat reduction results may take 1-3 months to become fully apparent.

Yes, unlike many laser treatments, Morpheus8 is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-VI). The technology minimizes the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that can occur with other treatments. However, a thorough consultation is essential to determine if you’re an ideal candidate.

Morpheus8 significantly outperforms traditional microneedling by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy. While standard microneedling only creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, Morpheus8 delivers RF energy deep into the tissue for more dramatic remodeling. Additionally, Morpheus8 can penetrate much deeper (up to 8mm vs. 2-3mm for traditional microneedling) and can effectively treat subdermal fat.

Yes, Morpheus8 works excellently as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It can be combined with treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), dermal fillers, neurotoxins, and certain laser procedures for enhanced results. Your provider will recommend the optimal treatment combination based on your specific concerns and goals.

With proper skincare and sun protection, Morpheus8 results can last for years. The treatment stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which continues for months after your sessions. However, the natural aging process continues, so maintenance treatments every 12-18 months are recommended to preserve optimal results.

Morpheus8 is not recommended for individuals who:

- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area
- Have a history of keloid scarring
- Use certain photosensitizing medications
- Have certain autoimmune disorders
- Have a pacemaker or internal defibrillator (for RF treatments)
