Microneedling has become a buzzword in the beauty industry, and for a good reason.
With the introduction of Morpheus8, a revolutionary device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, the benefits of this procedure are more popular than ever.
This innovative procedure uses RF energy to stimulate collagen production in the treated area, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about microneedling with Morpheus8.
What is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge microneedling technology that combines the power of RF energy with microneedling techniques.
But what makes Morpheus8 stand out from other microneedling devices? Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 uses deep fractional technology to deliver energy to the dermis, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
This innovative treatment can be used on the face and neck to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks, making it a popular choice for anyone looking to improve their skin’s texture and tone.

Who's the Best Candidate for Microneedling (Morpheus8)?
Microneedling with Morpheus8 is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns, but not everyone is an ideal candidate.
Generally, candidates who have fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, or uneven skin texture may benefit from this treatment. However, those who have active skin infections, open wounds, or a history of keloid scarring may not be good candidates for this treatment.
Thus, it’s best to consult with a licensed treatment provider to determine if microneedling with Morpheus8 is right for you.
Preparing for the Procedure
Before the procedure, it’s best to avoid using any retinoid products or exfoliants for at least 48 hours.
It’s also important to avoid excessive sun exposure and to wear sunscreen if you need to be outdoors at some point. Finally, make sure to stay hydrated and to remove any heavy make-up before the procedure to ensure optimal results.
Your treatment provider may also give you additional pre-procedure steps to follow before your treatment.
The Microneedling (Morpheus8) Procedure
The microneedling with Morpheus8 procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treated area.
During the treatment, tiny needles puncture the skin to create micro-channels, while radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.
The treatment is generally painless, but some patients may experience mild discomfort or redness afterward.
Aftercare for Microneedling (Morpheus8)
After microneedling with Morpheus8, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the skin. You may experience some redness, swelling, or minor bruising, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few days.
As with the pre-procedure instructions, avoid using any retinoid products or exfoliants for at least a week as well as strenuous exercises for 24-48 hours after the procedure.
Check in with your provider for further aftercare instructions depending on your treatment needs.
Microneedling (Morpheus8) Results
Following the Morpheus8 microneedling procedure, you can expect to see improvements in your skin texture and quality, including reduced fine lines and wrinkles, improved skin firmness, and diminished stretch marks.
Recovery time is minimal, with most patients experiencing only a few days of mild redness and swelling.
Results typically become more noticeable in the weeks following the procedure as collagen production is stimulated.
