Overview

Fractional RF microneedling — remodel skin on the face and body.

Fractional radiofrequency microneedling that tightens, smooths, and remodels skin — on the face and body. Adjustable depth lets Morpheus8 treat surface texture and deeper laxity in one minimally invasive treatment, and it's considered safe for all skin types and tones.

How it works

A clear, step-by-step picture.

Step 01

Consultation & plan

Depth, areas, and a personalized session schedule are tailored to your skin and goals.

Step 02

Numbing

Topical numbing cream is applied roughly 45–60 minutes before treatment for comfort.

Step 03

Treatment

Fine needles deliver radiofrequency energy at customizable depths to remodel skin and stimulate collagen.

Step 04

Collagen renewal

Results build gradually over weeks to months as new collagen forms and the skin remodels.

FAQs

Common questions, answered honestly.

How is Morpheus8 different from regular microneedling?

Traditional microneedling creates micro-channels to stimulate collagen at the skin's surface. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency energy delivered at adjustable depths through those needles — heating the deeper layers to remodel tissue and address laxity, not just texture.

Does it hurt?

Topical numbing cream is applied roughly 45–60 minutes before treatment to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as warmth with mild pressure. Soreness after is usually brief.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients benefit from a short series spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin, the areas treated, and your goals — Dr. Perryman will recommend a specific plan at consultation. (Practice-specific protocol — confirm at consult.)

When will I see results?

Early skin-quality changes can show within a few weeks. The deeper tightening and remodeling builds gradually over several months as new collagen forms.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes — because the radiofrequency energy targets deeper tissue rather than surface pigment, Morpheus8 is considered safe for all skin types and tones. We confirm fit during consultation.

Can it treat loose skin after weight loss?

It can help with mild-to-moderate laxity on areas like the abdomen, arms, and neck after weight loss. Significant skin excess is usually better addressed with BodyTite, FaceTite, or excisional surgery — we'll be honest with you about which approach fits your anatomy.

How much does Morpheus8 cost?

Pricing depends on the area and number of sessions in your plan. Not insurance-covered (cosmetic). We provide clear pricing at consultation and offer financing through CareCredit and PatientFi. (Practice-specific pricing — confirm at consult.)
