What Is Morpheus8?
This cosmetic system by InMode combines microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) into a single treatment.

Patients can use Morpheus8 to see dramatic improvements in concerns such as:
- Scars (including acne scars)

- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Skin texture
- Enlarged pores

Benefits of Radiofrequency Microneedling

- Improves deeper layers of the skin
- Minimal downtime and recovery
- Suitable for a broad range of skin tones
Am I a Candidate for RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling is open to a broad range of patients. The ideal candidate will have mild to moderate cosmetic concerns, which respond best to nonsurgical care. Additionally, you may need to wait for treatment if you have any active skin inflammation. Dr. Lim meets with each patient personally to establish which treatment is right for them.
How to Prepare for Your Morpheus8 Treatment
Once you schedule your treatment, you can begin getting ready for your upcoming visit. Each preparation step is easy, but together they promote a more effective treatment and better results. Key steps include:
- Avoid skin irritants in the week leading up to treatment. This includes abrasive skin products like retinol, excess sun exposure, tanning beds, and laser treatments.
- If applicable, shave the treatment area. Hair can impede the device’s contact with the skin’s surface.
- Pause taking blood thinners in the week before treatment. We will provide you with a list of medication and dietary elements that can cause blood thinning.

What Is the Treatment Like?
First, we apply a prescription-strength topical numbing cream to the treatment areas. Dr. Lim will then use the Morpheus8 device to treat each area. The device works by creating multiple tiny punctures in the skin. It uses the needles as a conduit for delivering RF energy deep into the surrounding tissues. Then, we repeat the process for each area, varying the depth of the punctures based on treatment goals. The entire process takes about 1 hour to an hour and a half (30 minutes for numbing to take effect, 30 to 60 minutes for treatment).
After Your Treatment: Morpheus8 Recovery + Aftercare
Patients may experience mild to moderate skin redness for a few days after treatment. While this does not require physical downtime, most patients prefer taking social downtime until the side effects fade. Some essential aftercare steps include:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for about 2 weeks
- Using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
- Applying makeup only after the treatment area is not too sensitive
- Avoiding abrasive or irritating skin products
Seeing Your Skin Remodeling Results
Collagen remodeling provides notable improvements in skin texture, appearance, and feel. However, a few things to remember about your RF microneedling results include:
- The process is gradual, and the body takes about 3 months to generate new collagen significantly.
- Patients tend to need about 3 treatments on average to see full results.
- Results can last for years, but good skincare is crucial for longer benefits.
