What is Morpheus 8?

Morpheus 8 is a skin renewal and rejuvenation treatment that uses micro-needles to deliver radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin. The aim of this technology, also known as golden needles, is to create micro-damage on the surface of the skin and activate collagen fibres. As collagen and elastin production increases, the skin surface becomes firmer, smoother and more vibrant.

How is Morpheus 8 Applied?

Before Morpheus 8 is applied, the person is examined by a doctor. During the examination, the medical history and skin problem are examined to determine if the person is suitable for the procedure.

Morpheus 8 involves cleaning the skin and applying a local anaesthetic. Using the appropriate headgear, channels are opened under the skin in the application area. The length of the micro-needles used is selected according to the degree of skin deformation. Radio frequency energy is sent to the opened channels. The heat shortens and activates the collagen fibres. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated.
