How Morpheus8 Works

The treatment combines both microneedling and radiofrequency technologies, both of which work to create a controlled trauma. Microneedling creates a ‘micro-trauma’ in the skin, stimulating the healing response, whilst radiofrequency uses heat to ‘shrink wrap’, tighten and lift the skin. Both treatments trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms of collagen and elastin production. The Morpheus8 ‘injects’ the radiofrequency energy into the skin with lots of tiny needles, and the depth of the needles used can be adjusted depending on the area of skin being treated. For resurfacing the needle depth is smaller to enable us to work in the epidermis (the outer layer), for skin tightening it’s a little deeper to work in the dermis (the middle layer of the skin) and for contouring, the needles can be adjusted to reach as far as the subdermal tissue, which is the deepest layer of the skin. In effect, by combining the two technologies together, Morpheus8 gives you two skin resurfacing treatments in one, with enhanced and much faster results!
