The treatment can be used on the face, neck, chest, and almost anywhere else on the body.

What is Morpheus8 and when is it recommended?
What is Morpheus8 Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive aesthetic collagen stimulating treatment. It is a safe, highly effective alternative to more advanced, complex, or invasive procedures. Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that firms and smooths the skin. By combining radiofrequency and microneedling, the treatment offers more advanced and noticeable results than using either method on its own.
How Does Morpheus8 Tighten and Contour Skin?
Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency micro needling device. This means that it combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency technology. During a Morpheus8 treatment, a device will stamp ultra-fine needles into target areas of your skin. These needles will emit radiofrequency energy to create a controlled micro-injury. This injury prompts the body to release collagen and elastin to the area, which are two key proteins responsible for your skin’s smoothness, tightness, and firmness. Morpheus8 is more advanced than other microneedling radiofrequency treatments. It is one of the most powerful treatments on the market because it penetrates the skin deeper than others and uses a burst mode to treat multiple layers of skin at one time. This encourages more robust collagen production.
Benefits and Risks of Morpheus8
Benefits of Morpheus8
Morpheus8 offers many benefits that other radiofrequency microneedling treatments do not. It also offers benefits that other aesthetic and cosmetic skin treatments do not. It is the perfect treatment for a minimally-invasive facelift or body tightening. The biggest benefits of Morpheus8 treatments are:
- Smoother skin and improved skin texture.
- Reduced pore size.
- Diminished acne scars and marks.
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Skin looks lifted, tighter, and firmer.
- Plumper, more youthful looking skin.

Risks of Morpheus8
Like any other medical or aesthetic treatment, there are risks associated with Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling. These risks are minor and usually temporary. Dr. Maloney and his team make every effort to mitigate risk and create a comfortable patient experience. Common risks include redness or swelling, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, uneven skin tone/texture, and the need for additional procedures. Most of these are temporary. There are also more uncommon, complicated risks, such as scarring or burning of the skin.
Who Should Consider Morpheus8?
You should consider Morpheus8 if you are in good general health and want to improve the appearance of your skin. If you have skin issues that are affecting your confidence and self-esteem, Morpheus8 treatment may help. Morpheus8 is an ideal treatment for people who do not want to undergo an invasive or surgical procedure but want results to overcome specific concerns like loss of skin plumpness or elasticity, and fine lines and wrinkles. It is also an ideal treatment for mild skin sagging.

What to Expect from Microneedling with Radiofrequency
A Morpheus8 treatment takes around two hours from start to finish. The first hour is spent with numbing cream on your face to reduce your discomfort and prevent pain during the treatment. The treatment itself takes around 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. We may have you wait 10-15 minutes before you leave to apply a soothing face cream and cool compresses and make sure you don’t experience any side effects. Once your face is numb, Dr. Maloney will wipe it clean and use a small, handheld device to create micro injuries. He may pass it over your face two or three times, especially in areas that you really want to smooth and tighten.
You can resume your regular daily activities after treatment. Downtime is typically very minimal. Your skin may be red and tender for an hour after treatment, and then fade to pink for a couple days. Your skin may also be dry. Most people have completely recovered within 5 days of treatment. You should avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours and avoid any skincare that is aggressive or has ingredients like retinol, AHAs or BHAs or vitamin C. You should use a mild cleaner, heavy moisturizing cream, and sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week.
How to Prepare for Morpheus8 Treatment
You should arrive with a clean face free from makeup, lotions, serums, gels, or other skincare products. You should quit smoking at least three weeks before your treatment date.
