Morpheus 8 is a machine that combines Radiofrequency and Microneedling. The device works by inserting tiny needles in the face. While in the tissues, radiofrequency energy passes between the needles and heats the tissue, causing immediate contraction (tightening) and subsequent collagen stimulation. It can improve skin laxity, reduce jowls, treat acne scars, and help facilitate remodelling of the tissues. The device will also improve the texture and tightness of the skin as well as improving wrinkles.

If you read about Morpheus8 on the internet, it may mention that the treatment can be painful. However, if a strong numbing cream is applied and left on for 45-60 mins, then the treatment is comfortable. Dr Hannah has had this treatment herself on several occasions and found it comfortable.

Morpheus 8 Tips

The “face tip” is used to treat the lower face and neck.

The “resurfacing tip” is used to treat the superficial skin layer and is best for people wanting to treat crepey skin, acne scarring and surface texture.

The “body tip” is larger and can penetrate deeper and is used in body areas such as abdomen, arms, knees, buttocks.

The “prime tip” is smaller and used for areas such as around the eyes, forehead, above lip.

If you have Full Face Morpheus8 treatment, we will use both the “face” and “prime” tips in one treatment. You can also add a “resurfacing” treatment to a face treatment to target different skin layers in one treatment. Ask Dr Hannah about this.

Treatment areas

Our prices will show you the different costs for treating various parts of the face and body. If you aren’t sure which area you wish to treat eg. Full Face/Neck vs Lower Face/Neck then please contact us, book an initial consultation (new patients) or  free review (existing patients).

Most people find that the downtime is better than they had imagined.

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will appear red and sometimes slightly swollen. This usually resolves after 24 -48 hours. There can be some minor bruising.

In the coming days, the skin may be a little flakey and some people (especially if acne-prone) may experience a “break out”.

If you have a “resurfacing” treatment, the downtime can last a little longer as the skin may have more initial marks and then tiny “scabs”. It’s not usually noticeable under make-up.

Due to the soft tissue contraction with Morpheus8, most people notice an immediate improvement in tautness. There will be a subsequent collagen remodeling phase which takes months. Therefore, your “final” improvement may be seen a few months after you complete your course.

Most people will have an initial course of three treatments, spaced roughly 6 weeks apart.

Some people, with minimal symptoms, may benefit from a single treatment. 

After completing the initial course, we will advise you to book in for a review about 18 months later. Most people will maintain their results with a single treatment once every 18 – 24 months. In the meantime, we’d advise you to optimize your skincare and consider skin boosters or Forma to maintain the very best results. Your KinDRed clinician will guide you.

There are other radiofrequency microneedling devices on the market but Morpheus8 is the only one to have FDA approval for soft tissue contraction. It has a strong track record with clinicians and patients for safety and producing amazing results. It is important to Dr Hannah that she offers the highest quality products and devices at KinDRed.
