Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to treat skin at multiple depths in a single session, something neither technology can achieve fully on its own. It is one of the most versatile non-surgical options available for tightening, texture, and scarring concerns at our Port Moody and Abbotsford clinics.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment that uses fine needles to deliver controlled heat directly into the deeper layers of the skin. Adjustable penetration depths allow the treatment to target both superficial and deeper concerns, including laxity, acne scars, and uneven texture, all within the same device. Because the treatment can be calibrated to your skin's specific needs, it is suited to a wide range of concerns, from early signs of aging to long-standing scarring.
What to Expect
A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment to keep you comfortable. The device is then passed over the treatment area, delivering microneedles and radiofrequency energy to a depth set specifically for your goals. Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for a few days afterward, similar to a sunburn. Most patients benefit from 1 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, with results continuing to improve over several months as new collagen develops.
How Morpheus8 Works
As the device's needles enter the skin, they deliver radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis and, depending on the depth selected, the deeper subdermal tissue. This generates controlled heat that causes immediate tissue contraction along with a longer-term collagen remodeling response. This approach allows fractional radiofrequency microneedling to address a wide range of concerns, from skin laxity to acne and scarring, with reduced downtime compared to more invasive procedures.
What it Helps With
- Skin Laxity: Tighten loose or sagging skin on the face and neck by stimulating deep collagen remodeling.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooth fine lines and improve overall skin firmness as new collagen builds beneath the surface.
- Acne and Acne Scarring: Improve the texture and depth of acne scars by remodeling scar tissue and stimulating new collagen growth.
- Pores: Refine the appearance of enlarged pores through deep tissue remodeling.
- Skin Texture: Smooth rough or uneven texture for skin that looks and feels noticeably refined.
Frequently Asked Questions
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of brief, warm pinpricks rather than significant pain.
Expect redness and mild swelling for 2 to 4 days, similar to a sunburn. Some patients experience small scabbing at the needle sites that resolves within a week.
Yes. Morpheus8 is commonly used to improve the texture and depth of acne scars by remodeling scar tissue and stimulating new collagen in the area.
Most patients see optimal results after 1 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, depending on the concern being treated and the depth of treatment used.
Morpheus8's needles are insulated, which reduces the risk of surface burns and makes it a suitable option for a wide range of skin tones. Our team will assess your skin during consultation to confirm candidacy.
