The Powerful Benefits of Microneedling with Radiofrequency

How MORPHEUS8 works

You have heard of microneedling – a dermapen procedure that uses small needles to prick the skin, to generate new collagen and tissue for smoother, firmer, more toned skin.

Morpheus8 works like a microneedling tool, but rather than simply prick the skin, this device also incorporates radiofrequency, which triggers collagen and elastin production at a deeper level that microneedling cannot reach. The 24 coated pins penetrate the subdermal tissue, coagulating the fat and contracting connective tissue to tighten and rejuvenate the treated area.

As for the procedure, after using a topical numbing cream on the patient’s treatment area, the handheld device is pressed into the area, allowing the minuscule microneedles to perforate the skin. Once the pins are in place, they emit radiofrequency (RF) waves. The heat from these waves penetrates deep into the dermal skin layer, tightening the skin and fat below. The whole procedure – numbing and preparations included – does not take much more than two hours.

Ideal areas to treat & target

Morpheus8’s most popular target area might just be jowls, jawline, and submental area of the neck (the space below the chin). But it can also be used to tighten loose skin on the inner and outer thighs, above the knees, and abdomen. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of acne and acne scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and wrinkles.
