Morpheus8: RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening

Morpheus8 is one of the most sought after treatments for skin tightening and collagen renewal, because it combines two proven technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency. The result is firmer, smoother and tighter skin, without a scalpel and without a long recovery. At Miren Medic Polyclinic we perform Morpheus8 treatment on the face, neck and body.

How does Morpheus8 tighten the skin?

Using fine microneedles, Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin. The heat warms the tissue in a controlled way and triggers the natural processes of regeneration and the formation of new collagen and elastin. As collagen is renewed, the skin tightens from within, becomes firmer, and the contours of the face and body appear more defined.

What can be treated?

Thanks to its adjustable depth and intensity, Morpheus8 is used for a range of different concerns:

• tightening lax skin and improving the contours of the face and neck;
• reducing wrinkles, enlarged pores and a double chin;
• evening out skin texture and tone;
• improving scarring, particularly acne scarring;
• reducing the visibility of stretch marks on the body.

The treatment is suitable for all skin types, and the parameters are adjusted for each patient.

What does the treatment involve and what is recovery like?

An anaesthetic cream is applied before the treatment, so the procedure is comfortable. A single treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After the treatment the skin may be red and slightly swollen for up to 48 hours, which is a normal reaction. During this period it is important to avoid the sun and to treat the skin gently.

How does Morpheus8 differ from conventional microneedling?

Conventional microneedling, such as Dermapen4, uses microneedles to create microchannels at the surface and stimulate skin renewal and collagen formation. Morpheus8 goes a step further, because through the needles it additionally delivers radiofrequency energy, that is, heat, into the deeper layers of the skin. That combination acts more powerfully on tightening and remodelling the deeper tissue, which makes Morpheus8 suitable when the goal is more pronounced tightening and work on the contours, rather than improving surface texture alone.

Morpheus8 for the face, neck and body

Thanks to its adjustable depth and intensity, Morpheus8 adapts to different areas. On the face it is most often used to tighten and define the contours, on the neck and under the chin for lax skin, and on the body for stretch marks and laxity in areas such as the abdomen, arms and knees. Because the parameters are chosen according to the condition of the skin and the goal of the treatment, the plan is always drawn up individually, after an assessment at the consultation.

Results and number of treatments

For the best effect, a series of about 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended. The first results are visible within 7 to 10 days, while the full effect develops over 2 to 3 months. Current prices are available in the price list.

Is Morpheus8 safe?

Morpheus8 is a treatment that should be performed by trained medical staff, following an assessment of the skin. Thanks to its adjustable parameters it is suitable for all skin types, and its controlled action reduces the risk of adverse reactions. Before the treatment a brief medical history is taken in order to rule out conditions for which the treatment is not advisable, for example active infections or inflammation of the skin, and pregnancy. Temporary redness and swelling are an expected and transient reaction, and clear aftercare instructions further contribute to safety and the quality of the result.
