What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 by InMode is a Sub-dermal fractional treatment. This combines microneedling technology with RF energy delivery to provide enhanced natural collagen production and tissue remodeling. Part of the aging process involves decreased collagen production causing decreased skin elasticity and laxity.
This treatment allows the body to encourage collagen growth of its own. Morpheus8 is the only device that uses gold-coated needles to deliver the highest and deepest FDA approved RF energy to the precise depth needed for the treatment goal. This technology can help improve fine lines and wrinkles, scars, irregularities, skin laxity and sagging, stretch marks, acne scars, and much more!
Morpheus8 is safe for treatment on the face, neck, and body for all skin types. Common treatment areas include forehead, under eye bags, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline defining, and submental fullness for the face and neck. Stretchmarks, acne scars, trauma or surgical scars, and cellulite appearance can be reduced anywhere on the body.
Results are not visible immediately after treatment. Since Morpheus8 enhances the natural collagen production, results are seen starting at 30-60 days post treatment.
Can This Be Combined With Other Services?
Yes! You may receive Morpheus8 (M8) in combination with wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers. It is recommended to do wrinkle relaxers 2 weeks prior to Morpheus8 for maximum results but you may also get wrinkle relaxers 2 weeks after M8 in the treatment area. For dermal fillers, it is recommended to receive dermal fillers in the treatment area 4 weeks after M8 treatment or wait 6 months after receiving dermal filler.
​
Morpheus8 is recommended with Platelet Rich Plasma in order to accelerate healing! With the micro-channels created with the M8, the plasma will be rubbed into the channels to accomplish this goal.
​
A biocellulose mask is used after M8 for optimal for sensitive or stressed skin. This mask is a highly efficient, supple, sterilized mask creates a protective barrier that helps alleviate discomfort
