Morpheus8 has gained attention as a minimally invasive skin treatment designed to support skin tightening, improve texture, and address common concerns such as hyperpigmentation and scarring. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan have highlighted the benefits of this treatment, making it a popular option for those looking to refine their skin without surgery.
At Absolute Cosmetic, we offer Morpheus8 for those seeking to support their skin’s quality. Here’s what you need to know about this advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin texture. The treatment is designed to reach different depths of the skin, allowing for customisation based on individual needs.
This treatment is commonly used for:
- Skin tightening – Supports collagen production, which can help with skin laxity
- Texture refinement – Can assist with reducing the appearance of fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation management – Targets uneven skin tone and dark spots
- Scar and stretch mark treatment – Helps improve the texture of scars and stretch marks
- Mild fat reduction – Can be adjusted to specifically target areas of unwanted fat, though settings must be carefully chosen to avoid volume loss in certain areas
It is important to discuss your goals with an experienced nurse to ensure the treatment settings align with your desired results.
Absolute Cosmetic was the first in Perth to offer Morpheus8, meaning our nurses were also among the first to be trained in its advanced techniques. Their in-depth understanding of the treatment allows them to provide tailored treatment plans based on individual needs.
How Many Morpheus8 Sessions Are Recommended?
For best results, we typically recommend:
- Three sessions, spaced six to eight weeks apart
- Gradual improvements over time as collagen production increases
- A personalised treatment plan based on skin type and goals
Since collagen production continues to develop after treatment, results appear gradually, with full benefits typically seen after several months.
Does Morpheus8 Hurt?
Since Morpheus8 delivers microneedling combined with heat energy, some discomfort is expected. To manage this, a topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment to reduce sensitivity.
- The procedure is not entirely pain-free, but most patients find it manageable with numbing cream
- Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur post-treatment but typically resolves within a few days
Who Is Morpheus8 Suitable For?
Morpheus8 is suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to support their skin’s firmness, texture, and overall quality. It can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and abdomen, depending on individual concerns.
A consultation is recommended to discuss goals and ensure the treatment is appropriate for individual needs.
