Inmode Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with RF energy to stimulate collagen production, remodel the skin, improve skin texture and provide an overall tightening effect. Suitable for all skin types, this dual-action approach addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sagging skin.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Morpheus8 works by delivering RF energy through microneedles that penetrate the skin at various depths.
- Microneedling: The device uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These small punctures stimulate the body's natural healing process.
- Radiofrequency Energy: While the needles create these micro-injuries, RF energy is simultaneously delivered deep into the skin, particularly into the dermis. The RF energy generates heat in these deeper layers, which enhances tissue remodeling, tightens the skin, and further stimulates collagen production.
- Customizable Approach For Multiple Skin Concerns: The depth of needle penetration and the intensity of RF energy can be adjusted based on individual skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or sagging skin. This customization allows the treatment to be tailored to the specific needs of each patient, providing a more targeted and effective result.

Treatment Process
Consultation and Skin Assessment
Before the treatment, a thorough consultation and skin assessment are conducted to determine the patient's suitability and to customize the treatment plan based on the person’s skin concerns and goals.
Treatment Procedure
During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The Morpheus8 device is then used to deliver microneedling and RF energy to the targeted areas. The entire treatment typically takes about 30-90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Post-Treatment Care
After the Morpheus8 treatment, it is important to follow post-care instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. Your doctor may instruct you to:
Avoid Direct Sun Exposure and Use Sunscreen
Protecting the skin from UV rays helps prevent damage and supports the healing process.
Keep the Skin Hydrated and Moisturized
Using gentle moisturizers keeps the skin hydrated, aiding in recovery and comfort.
Avoid Harsh Skincare Products or Treatments for a Few Days
Refrain from using products with strong active ingredients, such as retinoids or acids, to prevent irritation.
Downtime Expectations
Most patients may return to normal activities immediately after this treatment. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which is minimized by the numbing cream. The sensation is often described as a slight prickling or warming feeling.
Following the treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects usually subside within a few days.
