Say Goodbye to: skin laxity, stretch marks, scars, rippled skin, cellulite
The deepest fractional technology available – for remodeling and contouring.
What is it? Morpheus8 Body has a unique large surface tip consisting of 40 thin gold-coated microneedles, that can deliver radiofrequency energy to large areas quickly and efficiently. Equipped with “Burst Mode” technology, Morpheus8 Body automatically delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to multiple depths in a single pulse through its gold-plated microneedles. The ability to target tissue at three different levels in millisecond intervals allows for a significant reduction in treatment time, minimizes skin injury, increases uniformity, and enables customized full-body procedures. The Morpheus8 Body system is effective for skin tightening, fat-melting, and treating cellulite and sagging skin.

- Filler, wrinkle relaxer, chemical peels, laser treatments near appointment. (discuss timeline with provider).
- Excessive caffeine, alcohol, fish oil, NSAIDs (such as aspirin & ibuprofen), and vitamin E 2-3 days before and after treatment to minimize potential for bleeding/bruising.

What to expect day of treatment:

- After numbing we will begin treatment targeted to your specific concerns and needs.
- Some discomfort is expected but we have multiple tools to help guide you through the treatment.
Post Treatment
- Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience erythema (redness) for 1-3 days, however for more aggressive treatments this may last longer. Slight to moderate edema (swelling) and a mild to moderate sunburn sensation are also common post treatment and may last 1-3 days. Skin may crust and peel for 2-7 days depending on treatment settings.
- Before discharge a topical ointment may be applied to the face. No bandages or wraps are necessary.
- There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the skin gently, avoid scrubbing or trauma to the treated area.
- Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation.
- The use of a zinc oxide sunblock SPF 30+ at all times after 24-48 hours.
- Multiple treatments over a period of several months may be required to achieve the desired response.
- Avoid icing the area for 48 hours.
- No NSAIDS for 24 hours.
Most patients begin to see meaningful improvement at four weeks, with complete results at the three month mark. Morpheus works best in a series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Morpheus8 is microneedling with radio frequency with adjustable depth (up to 4 mm) with fine surgical pins. At the end of these fine pins, radio frequency waves are emitted. The microneedles cause a controlled injury that results in formation of new collagen and elastin (the fibers responsible for skin tightening). In addition, the radio frequency waves also stimulate collagen and elastin formation. So, you have skin rejuvenation occurring from 2 different formats.
By adjusting the depth of the needles, the clinician can use the Morpheus8 to come up with a customized treatment for your specific concerns.
Yes! It can be used to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
There is minimal discomfort. You will be provided numbing cream before treatment to make it more comfortable.
