Looking for a versatile, full body skin rejuvenation option?
Morpheus8 is a revolutionary treatment that combines deeply penetrating radiofrequency therapy with the skin resurfacing benefits of microneedling to create firmer, clearer, more youthful looking skin on the face, abdomen, thighs, legs or buttocks.
What is Morpheus8 Microneedling?
The Morpheus8 microneedling treatment is a fractional skin treatment that can be used on nearly any area of the body. As a customizable skin rejuvenation treatment that combines traditional microneedling with advanced radiofrequency therapy, Morpheus8 can be used to treat any number of cosmetic issues.
This includes:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Scarring and stretch marks
- Cellulite
- Lost skin elasticity
- Skin dullness
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
The Morpheus8 treatment delivers targeted radiofrequency (RF) into the deepest layers of the skin using an intricate layer of micro pins. The deep stimulation encourages collagen growth and rapid cell turnover, sending newer, smoother skin to the surface of the epidermis. This well-protected skin is softer, brighter and more elastic, resulting in a younger, more radiant appearance.
Morpheus8 is a minimally-invasive procedure that we can complete right in our clinic, allowing you to get the results you want without taking much time from your daily life. The length of the actual session is determined by the size of the area we're treating. Once you're done, you're free to return home and rest for the day or get back to work if you're feeling up to it.
Morpheus8 been tested and proven on a range of skin tones and types to ensure it is a comprehensive option catered to the diverse world we live in.
Does Morpheus8 Hurt?
Everyone has a different pain tolerance. While most people don’t find Morpheus8 treatments particularly painful, if you are more sensitive you may experience a higher level of discomfort. Certain areas of the body may also be more sensitive, such as the inner thigh or face.
Morpheus8 can be used with a topical anesthetic to help minimize discomfort. After your procedure, you may experience some redness and swelling, which should resolve within a day. Because your skin may feel more sensitive following your treatment, it’s important to avoid too much sun exposure or heavy cosmetics. Avoid using makeup for 24 to 48 hours after your Morpheus8 session, and be sure to keep your skin moisturized and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
When Will I See Results?
Because Morpheus8 combines the resurfacing benefits of microneedling with deeply penetrating, regenerative radiofrequency therapy, you can begin seeing results in just a few days. As your treatment continues to work in generating newer, younger skin cells, your skin will continue to improve over time, with most patients seeing peak results after about three weeks.
Depending on your specific goals, you may require multiple Morpheus8 treatments to achieve your desired look. Our skin rejuvenation experts at Greater Miami Skin and Laser Center can help you determine the best treatment regimen for you. We may also suggest other supplemental treatments that can boost your results so you can look and feel your best!

What Should I Do To Prepare My Skin For Morpheus8 Treatment?
It's a good idea to stop taking any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Advil at least a week prior to your treatment. It's also important to tell your care provider about any supplements that you use, as some, such as vitamin E and fish oil, could increase your risk of bruising from your procedure. You'll also want to avoid the sun for at least 24 hours before treatment.
What Do I Need To Do To Protect My Skin After a Morpheus8 Treatment?
It's important that you wait 24 to 48 hours after your treatment is complete to wear makeup. You'll also need to use moisturizer regularly and avoid touching the treatment area as much as possible during the first 48 hours of healing. Your care provider may also recommend that you use cool compresses to help reduce swelling from your procedure.
How Many Morpheus8 Treatments Will I Need?
While it's likely that you'll see some results after your first session, some of our patients find that they're happiest with their results after three sessions. Your care provider will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets your needs.
