Morpheus8 is an advanced fractional microneedling and radiofrequency, or RF, treatment that stimulates collagen production and remodels skin at a deeper level than traditional microneedling. Morpheus8 penetrates the dermis and subdermal tissue layers to create tiny channels in the skin and trigger your body’s natural healing response. It then uses RF energy to generate controlled heat, stimulating collagen and elastin production while tightening the underlying tissue. By remodeling skin at the cellular level, Morpheus8 provides long-lasting, natural-looking results, making it one of the most effective noninvasive treatments available today.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Morpheus8?

Thanks to its adjustable penetration depths, which make it easy to customize treatments, Morpheus8 is an excellent treatment option for a wide variety of skin concerns. While Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin tones, these are the most common conditions we treat with it:

Mild to moderate skin laxity
Acne scars and sun damage
Uneven skin texture
Fine lines and wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation
Stretch marks and cellulite

What Is the Morpheus8 Treatment Process?

Morpheus8 is a straightforward, noninvasive treatment with minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect before, during, and after your session at Formula Wellness:

Before treatment: We’ll conduct a personalized skin assessment and create a customized treatment plan. To prevent irritation, we’ll ask you to avoid excessive sun exposure as well as retinol and exfoliating treatments for a few days before your session.
During treatment: We’ll cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream. We’ll then use a Morpheus8 device to stimulate collagen and tighten your skin. This treatment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes and feels like a warm prickling sensation or light pressure.
After treatment: We’ll apply a cooling, post-treatment serum and soothing agents to calm your skin before you leave. We’ll also remind you to avoid direct sun exposure, makeup, and skincare products containing retinol and acids for a few days.

How Many Morpheus8 Sessions Are Needed?

Many people notice visible improvements in skin texture, firmness, and tone after just one session, but deeper concerns, such as skin laxity, wrinkles, and acne scars, may require multiple treatments. For optimal results, we often recommend a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.

How Long Do Morpheus8 Results Last?

Results typically last for at least 12 months. Morpheus8 stimulates deep collagen production long after treatment, leading to gradual, natural-looking improvements over time. However, sun exposure, smoking, and poor skincare habits can impact how long results last.
