Morpheus8

Morpheus8: Redefining Microneedling Excellence

Device Overview: Morpheus8 represents a groundbreaking microneedling treatment surpassing conventional methods in efficacy. Developed to stimulate adipose tissue remodeling in the dermis, this innovation by InMode Aesthetics merges radiofrequency with microneedling—a unique combination. While microneedling alone triggers collagen proliferation, Morpheus8 elevates the process by integrating radiofrequency energy, promoting tissue remodeling and exceptional skin tightening at approximately 4mm depth.

Concerns: Morpheus8 effectively addresses a spectrum of skin concerns such as

• acne scars
• fine lines, wrinkles
• loose or excessive skin and facial and neck tissue. 

Suitable for all skin types, this treatment requires a commitment to a complete treatment plan, including professional home care
