Morpheus8

How it works

• Morpheus 8 delivers the deepest fractional treatments available, penetrating subdermal tissue up to 8 mm.
• It works by introducing radiofrequency technology to gently heat the skin after micro-lesions are performed to help restore and resurface connective tissues.
• When the skin is heated to 42- 43 degrees Celsius, collagen, which is the main structural protein in connective tissues, breaks down over the course of 6 weeks. College that is broken down reforms and connective tissues become much tighter and stronger.

Procedure

• Morpheus8 treatment is an outpatient procedure. Anesthesia is not needed. Any discomfort that is felt during the treatment is often very tolerable.
• A topical numbing cream is applied to the treated areas.
• A device delivering radiofrequency energy through micro-pins is used to deliver the radiofrequency energy within the skin surface.
