Morpheus 8 is the result of a combination of fractional radiofrequency and microneedling, and is a highly reliable device for the treatment of all skin types. It also improves skin disorders such as scars, acne and pigmentation spots.
An innovative, comprehensive treatment for skin disorders
In the past, the treatment of deep wrinkles, folds or sagging relied almost exclusively on laser treatment. Fractional radiofrequency combined with microneedling is proving to be a less invasive and more effective therapeutic approach for durably smoothing the skin by erasing major skin defects, all without the need for social eviction.
How does Morpheus 8 work?
This device combines the benefits of radiofrequency and microneedling. Both techniques stimulate collagen production and cell renewal. But their mode of action is different, although simultaneous.
Microneedling with very fine gold needles creates micro-perforations in which radio frequency is used. Since radiofrequency heats skin tissue deep down to optimize elastin and collagen synthesis, the combination of these two technologies creates a very natural, non-surgical lift effect.
What are the indications for Morpheus 8?
This device can be used to treat the face as well as the body. It offers several benefits:
- Overall skin rejuvenation: wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed out, with a slight lifting effect as skin is firmed and facial contours are tightened.
- Reduces hypopigmented scars, stretch marks and brown spots.
- Adjunctive treatment of inflammatory acne and residual scars (deep and “ice-pick” scars).
- Reduction of fatty deposits under the chin
- Smoothing orange peel skin on thighs or buttocks
- Arm firming
- Treatment of hyperhidrosis.
What’s the difference between Morpheus 8 and microneedling?
Microneedling and radiofrequency converge on the same results, as they boost the skin’s natural repair process.
Used on its own, microneedling enhances skin care penetration and improves the appearance of scar tissue, but does not act on sagging skin.
The combination of the two techniques therefore delivers better results for the overall appearance of the skin.

How a Morpheus 8 session unfolds
After careful cleansing, the device is set up according to the needs assessed during the initial consultation. The adjustment controls the depth of the handpiece needles.
The session is not very painful, as the needles are very fine. However, it is possible to apply an anaesthetic cream about an hour before the session.
The treatment lasts between half an hour and an hour. It can be repeated every three weeks, depending on the desired effects.
What happens next?
The after-effects are minimal, as this is not an invasive treatment. However, there may be some redness and discreet swelling, which may last 24 to 48 hours.
Make-up can be applied the day after the treatment. Sun exposure should be avoided for the next few days. If necessary, use a sun cream with a high sun protection factor. In general, cures of several sessions are considered in winter, to eliminate any risk of scarring.
Complementary approaches
Morpheus 8 sessions can be combined with other techniques, as required, such ashyaluronic acid and botox injections.
