What is MORPHEUS8?
MORPHEUS8 is the latest "micro-needling radiofrequency" treatment. Its unique applicator combines both "micro-needling" and "radiofrequency" properties. First, it stimulates the epidermal and dermal tissues with ultra-fine gold-plated micro-needles to trigger the skin's regenerative response. Then, it continuously releases radiofrequency energy deep beneath the skin's surface through the micro-needles, heating the deeper tissues and stimulating collagen production. This makes it effective for treating skin issues associated with aging, such as sagging skin, cellulite, stretch marks, and skin depressions.
Furthermore, because the radiofrequency energy is delivered deep within the skin and the applicator tip has a non-insulated design, it doesn't heat the epidermis, allowing for precise heating of the deep dermal layers to induce a "cross-linking response" that stimulates collagen and elastin production. This helps achieve both skin tightening and wrinkle reduction simultaneously.
What is the Cross-Linking Response?
When the temperature exceeds 65-70 degrees Celsius, collagen immediately contracts, resulting in skin tightening and lifting. The principle behind collagen contraction due to heat is that temperatures exceeding 65-70 degrees Celsius break the internal cross-linking chains within collagen protein molecules, while maintaining the cross-linking bonds between molecules. This causes the entire collagen protein to contract. Collagen contracts due to thermal stimulation, triggering repair, reorganization, and new growth, which can reduce fine lines and create a tightening effect on the skin texture.

Difference Between MORPHEUS8 and Traditional Micro-Needle Radiofrequency
MORPHEUS8
1.Energy is released between the needle tip and external electrode
2.It can safely deliver higher energy into the tissue
3.A large volume of tissue is affected
Traditional Micro-Needle Radiofrequency
1.Energy is released only between the needles
2.Limited energy transmission
3.Only a small volume of tissue is affected
Comparison of MORPHEUS8 and Traditional Micro-Needle Radiofrequency Probes
MORPHEUS8 is suitable for individuals who:
- Have undergone radiofrequency facelift treatments and are still unsatisfied with the results.
- Experience skin aging, sagging, and loosening but are hesitant to undergo facelift surgery.
- Have facial skin with noticeable wrinkles and desire to smooth them and tighten their skin.
- Want to improve post-pregnancy loose abdominal skin and stretch marks.
- Wish to enhance the appearance of cellulite-prone skin.

Q:Is the MORPHEUS8 treatment painful?
A:Before the treatment, a numbing cream can be applied to reduce the discomfort during the procedure.
Q:How long does the treatment take?
A:The treatment for one area typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
Q:What is the recovery time for MORPHEUS8?
A:Localized swelling, discomfort, redness, numbness, or tingling sensations following the treatment generally subside within a few days. There might be some temporary grid-like imprints and swelling immediately after the treatment, but they will naturally fade within a few hours. After the treatment, mild scabbing can occur, which usually begins to peel off gradually within about 1 to 5 days. Please refrain from picking or removing it yourself.
Q:How long do the effects of MORPHEUS8 last?
A:Most patients will experience noticeable improvements after a single MORPHEUS8 treatment. For the specific duration of the effects, it's advisable to consult with a professional healthcare provider who can create a personalized maintenance plan.
Q:What should I be aware of after MORPHEUS8 treatment?
- Post-treatment, it's essential to enhance moisturization and use sunscreen with SPF30 or higher for better UV protection.
- Avoid wearing makeup within 48 hours after the treatment and prioritize moisturizing.
- Stay away from high-temperature environments such as hot springs, ovens, steam rooms, and saunas within the first week.
- In the first week, avoid actions that might lead to skin irritation or infection, including avoiding exfoliation, alpha hydroxy acids, retinoids (vitamin A derivatives), salicylic acid, and other specific skincare products.
