Overall, the downtime for Morpheus8 treatment is minimal however the recovery time required will be dependent on the treatment area sensitivity.

Immediately after treatment you will experience redness, swelling and small marks or bruising to the area treated. We recommend that you refrain from touching your skin to prevent infection.

In the days following treatment, you may experience areas of the skin that feel tight and appear shiny. Peeling or flaking from the skin is also common.

Most patients are able to return to their usual activities within 1-2 days post treatment although care must be taken to protect the area/s treated from sun exposure by using sun protection daily.

At your consultation and after your treatment our expert practitioners will be able to provide detailed aftercare advice and answer any questions you have regarding this.

When will I see results from Morpheus8?

Visible results can begin to be seen 1-2 weeks after your first treatment.

Results can last up to 3-6 months following your last treatment.

How is Morpheus8 different to microneedling?

Morpheus8 is a much more advanced microneedling treatment that combines radiofrequency technology.

The microneedling part of the treatment creates channels which then allows the radiofrequency energy to target the deep dermal layers of the skin to help tighten and plump the skin from beneath.

What areas can Morpheus8 treat?

Morpheus8 treatment is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and chest/décolletage. But it can also be a very effective treatment to treat wrinkling, sagging, stretch marks and scarring on other areas of the body including the arms, legs, thighs, abdomen/stomach, and buttocks.

How long does Morpheus8 treatment take?

The Morpheus8 treatment time is usually around 30-60 minutes depending on the areas being treated.

Is Morpheus8 treatment painful?

Morpheus8 is a form of microneedling, so some discomfort is likely to be felt during treatment.

We advise that patients have numbing cream applied to the area being treated ahead of treatment. Although discomfort may be felt at times, the treatment is certainly bearable, and our expert practitioners will help to ensure that you are feeling as comfortable as possible throughout the treatment.

Tenderness to the area being treated can also be felt post treatment but this should only last 24 hours and does not usually require any pain relief.

Am I suitable for Morpheus8 treatment?

Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin types as it uses colour-blind technology. This means that even darker skin tones can be safely treated, and great results can be achieved. This treatment also has a reduced risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can often occur with other types of resurfacing treatments that aren’t suitable for all skin types.

The ideal patient for Morpheus8 is someone who is beginning to see the visible signs of ageing including wrinkles and mild to moderate sagging skin.

It is also suitable for patients who are looking to improve the quality of the skin and reduce acne scarring.

The best way to see if you are suitable for treatment is to come in for a consultation with our skin experts.
