Morpheus 8 Q&A

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is an innovative medical device produced by InMode Ltd., a leading provider of innovative cosmetic technologies. The Morpheus8 combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate your skin.

The hand-held device uses tiny needles that penetrate your skin and send RF energy into the surrounding tissues. Your provider can personalize your treatment by adjusting the depth of the needles.

Microneedling and RF energy stimulate collagen production, enhancing the results you would achieve if you had either treatment alone.

What skin problems improve with Morpheus8 treatment?

Many changes occur as you get older that contribute to skin aging. In addition to thinning and losing moisture, your skin produces less collagen and elastin. Collagen is the protein that builds your skin, giving it the strength to prevent sagging and wrinkles. Elastin gives your skin resilience and suppleness.

Boosting collagen and elastin production dramatically improves your appearance by treating problems like:

  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and creases
  • Loose, sagging skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Acne and surgical scars
  • Stretch marks

Morphues8 safely and effectively tightens and tones your face, neck, and body.

What happens during a Morpheus8 treatment?

Your Apollo Physicians provider ensures your comfort by applying a topical anesthetic that numbs your skin. You relax in the treatment chair while they treat the targeted areas.

After your Morpheus8 treatment, your skin appears red, and you might show slight swelling lasting for several days. Though you can return to your usual activities the next day, many patients take a few days to relax and let their skin heal.

While you’re healing, it’s crucial to protect the treated skin from sunlight. You’ll also prolong the results by applying a daily sunscreen that prevents ultraviolet (UV) light from damaging your skin.

New collagen and elastin take several weeks to develop and reach the skin’s surface. But as old skin gives way to new, you start seeing the difference in your appearance.

Most people need several Morpheus8 treatments to get the best results. Your Apollo Physicians provider discusses your recommended treatment during your first appointment.
