While surgical procedures are often recommended for their remarkable results, patients may wish to avoid the higher risks, long recovery periods, and scarring that come with them. As a result, they seek out non-surgical treatments that are able to achieve similar results. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical skin resurfacing treatment that harnesses the power of fractional radiofrequency and applies it to the skin to destroy excess fat and revitalize the upper layers of the skin.
Morpheus8 from InMode is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that can reverse skin laxity (loose skin) and reduce unwanted fat in a quick and simple procedure. The treatment utilizes radiofrequency energy to revitalize skin texture both in the upper and lower layers, stimulating new collagen growth. Patients walk away looking better than they have in years.
Morpheus8 RF Microneedling is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that is designed to tighten skin, smooth out wrinkles, and address other signs of aging. This innovative cosmetic procedure employs a combination of microneedling and advanced radiofrequency energy to trigger collagen production, making the patient’s skin more elastic, smoother, and better hydrated. Morpheus8 is able to reach deeper levels of the skin than other microneedling treatments, revitalizing the epidermis in the process. It can be used both on the face and the body.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
This combination treatment combines the powers of microneedling, RF, and fractional techniques to achieve a full rejuvenation of the patient’s skin. It is able to accomplish this with minimal downtime and an easy recovery period. The device contains 24 ultra-fine needles that enter the skin and radiate warm energy, stimulating the body’s natural collagen production process. Morpheus8 Body is the only skincare treatment that affects the skin at a subdermal level, creating changes in all layers of the skin for a comprehensive treatment.
Your Morpheus8 session begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan. Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Your provider will then gently guide the Morpheus8 handpiece over the treatment area. The device’s fine microneedles penetrate the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency heat into the deeper layers. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation, but most clients find the procedure very tolerable.
The entire process takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few days.
Morpheus8 is designed to improve a range of skin concerns that result from aging, sun damage, or changes in collagen structure. By working below the surface, it helps rebuild firmer, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
Morpheus8 can effectively treat:
Morpheus8 is an ideal treatment for those looking to address both surface texture and deeper structural concerns in one session.
Morpheus8 can be used on nearly any area where skin laxity or uneven texture is a concern, including the face, neck, jawline, abdomen, arms, thighs, and knees. It’s especially popular for the lower face and neck, where signs of aging often appear first.

Ideal candidates for Morpheus8 are those who are looking to improve their skin texture or contours but would like to avoid the potential side effects and downtime that come with surgery. As with most cosmetic procedures, ideal candidates for Morpheus8 will be in good mental and physical health and be 18 years of age or older. They are struggling with issues either in the face or the body, such as skin laxity, wrinkles, poor definition, etc.
As a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, patients don’t have to endure any lengthy downtime following a Morpheus8 procedure. Most patients are able to get back to work and other daily activities soon after the procedure. Pinpoint bleeding and swelling are normal effects of the procedure, but they will slowly dissipate over time. Patients usually feel that their skin is a bit warm and red during the first week, but these effects will fade away.
You may begin to see initial improvements in skin texture and firmness within the first few weeks after treatment, with more visible tightening and contouring around the 4–6 week mark. Because Morpheus8 stimulates your own collagen and elastin production, results continue to improve for up to 3 months after your final session.
After treatment, skin appears smoother, tighter, and more radiant, with noticeably refined pores and improved tone. Depending on your goals and treatment plan, results can last 12 months or longer, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle and good skincare habits. Maintenance sessions may be recommended once or twice per year to preserve your results.

Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, Morpheus8 is safe and effective for most skin types and tones because it bypasses the surface layer, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Many clients see results after just one session, but a series of 2–3 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal and longer-lasting results.
While it's not a treatment for active acne flare-ups, Morpheus8 can help reduce oil production and shrink pores, creating a healthier environment for acne-prone skin. It’s also excellent for treating post-acne scarring.
It’s best to wait 24–48 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal and avoid irritation. Your provider will guide you on when and how to resume your skincare routine.
Morpheus8 offers impressive results in skin tightening and contouring, but it won’t replace the dramatic effects of surgical procedures like a facelift. It is best suited for early to moderate signs of aging or as a maintenance option to extend the results of cosmetic surgery.
