Morpheus8 / Morpheus8 Body
What it is
Morpheus8 is a minimally-invasive device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. The “Body” version is adapted for larger areas and deeper penetration of subdermal fat and skin‐laxity issues.
How it works
- Tiny needles penetrate the skin to deliver RF energy deep into the tissue (on body versions up to ~8 mm or deeper) thereby stimulating collagen and elastin production and remodeling subdermal fat/adipose tissue.
- The trauma from microneedles + heat “tricks” the body into a healing response, tightening skin and improving texture, while the RF can help in reducing small fat pockets and improving contour.
What it treats / benefits
- Loose or sagging skin (abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks) after weight loss or aging.
- Stretch marks, cellulite appearance and texture irregularities.
- Mild fat reduction / body contouring in selected areas (though not a liposuction substitute).
Considerations & downtime
- This is minimally invasive (numbling + needles) — some redness, swelling, possible mild bruising; downtime is modest.
- Not a full alternative to surgical excision in cases of very loose skin or significant volume loss. Good elasticity helps.
- Settings must be properly calibrated: overly deep treatment may risk unwanted fat loss or scarring.
Good candidate if you
- Have moderate skin laxity, some stubborn fat or texture issues and want non-surgical option.
