Treatment Overview
At The Face Institute, Morpheus8 RF™ Microneedling is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten, lift, and remodel the skin at a deeper level. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 penetrates deeper into the skin, delivering controlled RF energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This makes it highly effective for skin tightening, contouring, and reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Morpheus8 RF™ can be used on the face, neck, and body, making it a versatile treatment for those looking to improve skin laxity, texture, and tone. Whether you want a more defined jawline, firmer neck, or smoother body contours, this treatment provides long-lasting, non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
Treatment Areas and Benefits
Face
Morpheus8 RF™ for the face targets fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and acne scars by stimulating deep collagen remodeling. The result is tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with improved texture and elasticity. It is ideal for treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
- Acne scars and uneven skin texture
- Mild to moderate skin laxity, providing a non-surgical lifting effect
- Enlarged pores and dull complexion
Neck
The neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging and skin laxity. Morpheus8 RF™ helps to tighten and firm loose skin, reducing the appearance of sagging and improving overall skin quality. This treatment is perfect for:
- Reducing “tech neck” lines and wrinkles
- Lifting and tightening sagging skin under the chin
- Improving skin texture and elasticity
Body
Morpheus8 RF™ is not just for the face—it’s an effective body contouring treatment that improves skin laxity, cellulite, and stretch marks by remodeling the deeper layers of the skin. It is commonly used on areas such as:
- Abdomen – Tightens loose skin post-pregnancy or after weight loss
- Arms – Firms sagging skin and improves skin texture
- Knees and thighs – Reduces crepey skin and cellulite appearance
- Buttocks – Smooths skin and enhances skin firmness
How to Prepare
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation to assess your concerns and determine the best treatment plan.

- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support optimal skin healing.
- Skip blood thinners: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for at least 24 hours before treatment to reduce bruising risk.

What is Morpheus8 RF™ Microneedling?
Morpheus8 RF™ combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen remodeling. This dual-technology treatment improves skin texture, tightens sagging skin, and reduces wrinkles and scars. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 delivers RF energy beneath the skin's surface, targeting deeper layers for a lifting and contouring effect. It’s particularly effective for areas like the jawline, neck, cheeks, and under the eyes.
By remodeling both the dermis and subdermal layers, it provides dramatic yet natural-looking improvements. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin without surgery or significant downtime.
How long do results last?
Results continue to improve over three to six months as collagen regenerates. With proper skincare and maintenance, results can last one to two years. Your body continues to build collagen well after your final session, creating long-lasting structural improvements. Incorporating medical-grade skincare, sunscreen, and healthy habits can help extend your results.
Annual maintenance sessions are often recommended to preserve skin firmness and prevent new signs of aging. The treatment not only delivers visible aesthetic benefits but also strengthens your skin from within for long-term rejuvenation.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, Morpheus8 RF™ is FDA-approved and safe for all skin types. The adjustable depth settings ensure customized treatment for each individual, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or over-treatment. The RF energy is delivered precisely and safely, with minimal risk of burning or damage to the surrounding tissue.
It’s a non-surgical option with very low complication rates, especially when performed by trained professionals. Morpheus8 also includes built-in temperature monitoring to protect the skin and ensure consistent energy delivery. We perform a full skin assessment beforehand to ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs and safety.
Can I combine Morpheus8 with other treatments?
Yes, it pairs well with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), exosome therapy, PDRN, and dermal fillers for enhanced results. These combinations can supercharge collagen production, speed up healing, and address multiple concerns in one plan. PRP and exosomes help accelerate post-treatment recovery and boost regenerative effects, while fillers can restore volume where needed.
It’s important to time these treatments strategically for example, PRP can be done during the same session, while fillers may be scheduled weeks later. We’ll create a custom plan based on your skin goals and ensure the safest, most effective combination.
When will I see results?
Some improvements are visible within 5–7 days, but optimal tightening and collagen remodeling occur over the next three months. You’ll likely notice smoother texture, reduced pore size, and a lifted look within the first few weeks. The most dramatic changes firmer skin, softened lines, and improved contour develop gradually as new collagen and elastin form.
For scar and texture improvement, changes continue to emerge after each session. Because the results build naturally over time, the outcome is subtle, yet significant, making it ideal for people seeking long-term, non-surgical anti-aging solutions.
Are there any side effects?
Mild redness, swelling, and pinpoint marks may appear but typically subside within a few days. The skin may feel slightly rough or sensitive as it heals, similar to a mild sunburn. You may also experience slight dryness or peeling as your skin regenerates. Most clients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours, with only minimal restrictions.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including the use of gentle cleansers, SPF, and hydrating products to support recovery. Makeup can usually be applied after 48 hours, once the skin has calmed down.
How many sessions are needed?
For best results, three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are recommended. Maintenance treatments can prolong benefits and keep collagen production active. The number of sessions may vary depending on the severity of concerns such as deep wrinkles, acne scarring, or skin laxity.
Some clients may achieve their goals in fewer sessions, while others benefit from ongoing treatments over time. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and create a treatment plan based on your desired results, lifestyle, and skin health.
What areas can be treated with Morpheus8 RF™?
Morpheus8 RF™ is highly versatile and can be used on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, knees, and even areas with loose or crepey skin. It’s particularly effective for tightening skin along the jawline and under the chin, improving under-eye bags, and softening nasolabial folds.
On the body, it helps firm sagging areas and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite. The ability to customize depth and energy levels makes it safe for delicate areas as well. Whether you're looking for full-face rejuvenation or targeted body contouring, Morpheus8 can be tailored to meet your goals.
