Introduction
Morpheus8 represents a secure and efficient non-surgical solution for comprehensive skin resurfacing across the entire body, as well as for enhancing skin elasticity and reducing stubborn fat deposits. This innovative technique employs minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to reach deeper skin layers compared to alternative microneedling devices. This penetration prompts the body’s innate healing mechanisms, fostering skin firmness and rejuvenation.
As we delve into the advantages of Morpheus8 in this article, we encourage you to explore the complete piece. Here, we will emphasize the following key takeaways
Morpheus8 vs. Microneedling: A Comparison
Morpheus8 brings together the benefits of two clinically validated treatments – microneedling and minimally invasive radiofrequency therapy. This powerful combination stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing skin tightness and effectively contouring fat deposits. Unlike conventional microneedling, which typically reaches a depth of 1.5 to 2 millimeters, Morpheus8 offers personalized treatment options, with depths ranging from 0.5mm to an impressive 8mm. This versatility enables deep fat contouring while simultaneously addressing superficial skin rejuvenation needs. Morpheus8 can comprehensively treat the entire face and neck in a single session, catering to the delicate eye area as well as the thicker skin around the neck and jawline. The result is beautifully firm and radiant skin.
What is the process of radiofrequency microneedling like?
If you’re considering this procedure, your first step is to consult with a healthcare provider, typically a cosmetic surgeon.
-
Before the Procedure
During your initial session, your doctor will ask you questions about your medical history and will go through your expectations with you. They will also photograph your face to find the best treatment option for your individual issue. They will also provide you instructions on how to prepare for the surgery.
It can be suggested that you take oral antibiotics if you currently have active acne outbreaks. You may need to take oral antiviral medicine if you have a history of cold sores.
-
During the Procedure
- A topical anesthetic will be administered to the treatment area an hour or so before the procedure. In some situations, a local anesthetic may be used. This anesthetic makes the area painless by numbing it.
- Microneedling with Radiofrequency: A microneedling device is employed to create tiny wounds in the skin. Concurrently, the needle’s tip emits radiofrequency waves into these wounds.
- Procedure Duration: The entire process typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the specific condition being treated.
- Post-Procedure Care: Following the microneedling, your healthcare provider will apply a growth solution to promote cell regeneration. They will conclude the procedure by applying a soothing solution to minimize any potential discomfort.

After the Procedure
You are free to return home after the treatment and resume your regular activities.

What is the Cost of Radiofrequency Microneedling?
As a cosmetic operation, radiofrequency microneedling is not covered by insurance and must be paid for out of pocket.
Each session of traditional microneedling generally costs between $100 and $700. If you decide to include radiofrequency, you could end up paying extra. Your geographic location, the practitioner’s fees, and the specific condition of your skin will all affect the final cost.
You should set out between $400 to $2,800 for the entire process because you’ll probably require at least four sessions.
