Morpheus8 is a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that combines the benefits of both radiofrequency technology and microneedling procedures. During a Morpheus8 treatment, ultra-thin needles that emit radiofrequency energy are stamped into the skin to create a controlled injury, which prompts collagen and elastin production. Some of the benefits of Morpheus8 include smoother skin texture with smaller-looking pores, a reduction in acne scars and marks, less noticeable fine lines and wrinkles, and a more sculpted jawline and cheekbones. The downtime after a Morpheus8 treatment is relatively minimal, with redness and tenderness for an hour post-treatment and pink and dry skin for a few days.
Some of the pros of Morpheus8 include:
- Good non-surgical option
- Treats active acne
- Removes visible acne scars
- Boosts collagen production
- Has minimal downtime
- Long-lasting results
However, there are also some cons to consider:
- Burns
- Temporary pause on certain day-to-day activities
- Side effects that only happen under untrained hands
Morpheus8 is not without its downsides, but it is a powerful treatment that can have long-lasting results. It is important to follow pre-treatment instructions, such as stopping the use of active ingredient products, and to be aware of any contraindications, such as a history of eczema or psoriasis.
