FAQ on Morpheus 8®, microneedling RF

  • One of the advantages of Morpheus8® is that it is safe for all skin types, making it an ideal choice for people of any skin tone seeking skin improvement. It is an extensively researched, FDA-approved device that gives excellent results in the hands of a well-trained professional. However, Morpheus8® cannot be used in cases of active acne, active chronic conditions of the skin such as eczema, psoriasis, pacemaker implants, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.

  • Yes! Morpheus8® can be used with other treatments such as dermal fillers, Profhilo®, Botox®, etc. to help achieve natural-looking results. We also sometimes combine Morpheus8® with PRP, exosomes, etc. to enhance the results of the microneedling RF.

  • Visible results after a session can be seen typically after three weeks of the session. You can expect these changes to continue and improve as collagen synthesis happens and remodelling of the skin occurs. We suggest three to four sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, for the best results. This is one of the excellent tools for positive ageing - nothing can freeze ageing in place forever, but it does give you a new starting point!

  • Morpheus8® is most popularly used on the face and neck to help with fine lines, texture, large pores, acne scars, double chin, jowls, eye bags, and crepey skin. It can also be used in other areas of the body such as the stomach, arms to decrease crepey skin, and on buttocks, legs, etc. to tighten. It can also be used to treat stretch marks and in the underarms to reduce sweating.

  • Morpheus8® is a microneedling procedure, so some discomfort is expected. However, we advise the use of a numbing cream prior to the treatment to make it more comfortable. Although discomfort may be felt at times, it is certainly bearable with no pain after the procedure. Any sensitivity post-procedure reduces within 24 hours and usually does not require any pain relief.

  • It is recommended not to wear makeup for up to 24-48 hours. That being said, Morpheus8® has very little downtime compared to other microneedling RF procedures and skin returns to normal as early as the next day in some cases. Our expert physicians will guide you towards the right post-care treatment.

  • While microneedling creates a controlled injury to the skin causing new collagen formation and remodelling of tissue, Morpheus8® has the added benefit of radiofrequency technology which tightens the deeper layers of the skin and tightens it from within.
