Morpheus8 uses microneedles to deliver RF energy deep into the skin. This process creates micro-injuries, which trigger the body’s natural healing response and promote collagen and elastin production. The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, leading to tightening and remodeling.

Morpheus8 can be used on various areas of the face and body, including the cheeks, jawline, neck, abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks. It is versatile and effective for treating wrinkles, loose skin, and cellulite in different body regions.

Yes, Morpheus8 is considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified healthcare provider. It is a non-invasive procedure that delivers controlled RF energy to target tissues while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin.
