RF Microneedling FAQs
Morpheus8 is commonly used to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other textural scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- Crepey skin
- Stretch marks (in select cases)
- Jawline and neck laxity
Morpheus8 can be used on specific areas of the body where there is wrinkly, inelastic or stretched-out skin.
Typically, a series of three treatments four to six weeks apart is required for best results, but you’ll see improvements with each treatment along the way. In three to sixth months, you’ll see the maximum tightening and smoothing. Maintenance treatments are recommended at least yearly for best results.
Most patients tolerate treatment well. A prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to improve comfort. You may feel pressure, warmth, or brief pinching sensations during treatment.
Most patients benefit from a series of three treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart, although the number of sessions depends on your skin concerns, treatment area, and desired results. Dr. Johnson will recommend a treatment plan during your consultation.
Most patients experience redness and mild swelling similar to a moderate sunburn for one to three days. Tiny pinpoint marks or roughness may be present for several days as the skin heals. Most people return to normal activities within a day or two while following post-treatment skincare instructions
RF microneedling is considered safe for many skin types and tones because the radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the skin’s surface rather than targeting pigment. Every patient should be evaluated individually to determine whether Morpheus8 is the most appropriate treatment.
Yes. Depending on your goals, RF microneedling may be combined with treatments such as neuromodulators, dermal fillers, laser treatments, or medical-grade skincare. Dr. Johnson will recommend a customized approach based on your skin and aesthetic goals.
