What Is Morpheus8?
A Morpheus8 procedure is a cosmetic treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate and resurface the skin. This minimally invasive procedure targets the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, which enhances skin tightness and elasticity. By delivering radiofrequency energy through small needles, Morpheus8 effectively remodels and contours the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and sagging.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
There is no particular age restriction for a Morpheus8 treatment, and there is no specific trait that defines a “good” candidate. Fundamentally, good candidates are patients who would like to repair sagging cheeks, deep facial lines, and small deposits of fat on the face and neck. In other words, those who wish to reverse the signs of facial aging represent ideal candidates for a Morpheus8 treatment. However, as always, the best candidates are in good physical health and have realistic expectations regarding the outcome of their treatment.
How the Procedure Is Performed
During a Morpheus8 treatment, our team uses state-of-the-art technology to administer 24 silicone-coated needles beneath the skin and into the superficial fat. Once the needles are placed in the fat, the device delivers a pulse of radiofrequency energy that tightens the soft tissue, coagulates the fat, and stimulates the production of elasticin and collagen. In doing so, the needles effectively contour the face and body via subdermal adipose remodeling, resulting in a sleeker and smoother appearance. Morpheus is like an RF needle-based facelift, administered without a scalpel and from the “outside-in”.

Long-Lasting Results
The results of a Morpheus8 procedure are intended to be long-lasting and natural-looking.
Fast Recovery

What to Expect From Morpheus8
Cost
At SpaMedica, the cost of a Morpheus8 treatment depends on several factors, including the size of the targeted area and whether additional sessions will be required to achieve optimal results.
Treatment Time
The brow, upper lids, lower lids, face, and neck can be fully treated in under one hour.
How to Prepare
Prior to your procedure, the SpaMedica Team will review your medications and medical history. Based on the scope of the procedure, SpaMedica’s physicians may recommend that you stop taking certain medications before the treatment. During your consultation, your consultant will also go over your treatment goals and desired outcomes.
Recovery and Downtime
Due to the procedure’s non-invasive approach, there is little to no recovery following a Morpheus8 treatment. However, it is still recommended that patients take 3-5 days to rest following their Morpheus8 treatment.
Results and Aftercare
Following their Morpheus8 treatment, patients can expect to recover for 5-7 days while minor swelling and redness resolve. However, they will be pleased to know that, unlike traditional laser procedures, there is no significant crusting, oozing or weeping after a Morpheus8 treatment. In addition, some patients may even see facial skin improvement immediately after their treatment session.
Risks and Side Effects
Like all procedures, Morpheus8 treatments come with the risk of potential complications. The SpaMedica Team has been performing these procedures for many years and, as such, the risk of a significant complication is extremely low. Please note that all complications are managed and corrected as part of your surgical fee. Although our team has not seen most of the risks listed below, these Morpheus8 complications have been reported:
Redness
In most cases, redness is resolved in the days after the procedure.
Swelling
As in the case of redness, the skin may appear flushed and swollen immediately after the procedure. However, this should subside within a few days. In most cases, redness is resolved in the days after the procedure.
Bruising
Bruising is typically imperceptible but can occasionally be visible after the surgery.
Unsatisfactory Results
The best results can be achieved by using an experienced surgeon.
Alternatives and Combination Treatments
Non-Surgical Alternatives
Botox injectables, dermal fillers and resurfacing using a laser represent non-surgical alternatives to a Morpheus8 treatment.
Treatments Paired With Morpheus8
A Morpheus8 treatment is typically paired with a Medical Grade Skincare program, Botox injectables and dermal soft tissue fillers. In fact, a Morpheus8 treatment is specifically designed to enhance the results of these procedures.
