Common Target Areas
Deep Skin Remodelling with Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a highly advanced fractional radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device designed to deliver exceptional skin tightening, contouring, and rejuvenation results. It stands out due to its ability to penetrate deeper into the skin and underlying tissue than most other RF microneedling systems, allowing for significant subdermal adipose remodelling alongside dermal collagen stimulation.
At PRP London Clinic, our medical team uses Morpheus8 to target concerns like skin laxity, jowls, deep wrinkles, acne scars, and textural irregularities on the face, neck, and body, achieving noticeable improvements with minimal downtime compared to surgery.
Fractional RF Technology for Deep Impact
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy:
- Microneedling: Coated needles penetrate the skin to pre-selected depths (adjustable up to 4mm on the face, deeper on the body).
- Fractional RF Delivery: RF energy is emitted from the needle tips directly into the deeper layers of the dermis and potentially the subdermal tissue. This focused heat creates controlled thermal zones.
- Collagen & Elastin Production: The heat stimulates a powerful wound healing response, leading to robust production of new collagen and elastin over time.
- Tissue Contraction: The thermal energy causes immediate contraction of existing collagen fibres, contributing to tightening.
- Fat Remodelling (Optional): At deeper settings, the RF energy can target and coagulate adipose (fat) tissue, aiding in contouring areas like the jawline or under the chin.
This deep fractional treatment allows for significant remodelling and tightening of the skin's foundational layers.
Conditions Treated with Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is particularly effective for addressing:
- Skin Laxity: Tightening loose skin on the face, jowls, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs.
- Deep Wrinkles & Folds: Smoothing more significant lines and creases.
- Acne Scarring: Improving the depth and texture of various types of acne scars.
- Facial Contouring: Refining the jawline and reducing submental fat (under chin).
- Body Contouring: Tightening skin and potentially reducing small pockets of fat on body areas.
- Poor Skin Texture: Improving overall skin smoothness and uniformity.
- Stretch Marks: Reducing the appearance of striae.
Common Treatment Areas
Morpheus8's versatility allows Our medical team to treat numerous areas effectively:
- Full Face
- Lower Face & Jawline (Jowls)
- Neck
- Periorbital Area (Around Eyes - using specialised tip)
- Décolletage
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Upper Arms
- Areas with scarring or stretch marks
Your Morpheus8 Treatment Session
The Morpheus8 procedure involves:
- Consultation: Detailed assessment by our medical team, discussion of goals, confirmation of suitability, and treatment plan development.
- Preparation: Skin cleansing and application of a strong topical anaesthetic cream for approximately 45-60 minutes is essential for comfort due to the treatment depth.
- Treatment: Our medical team applies the Morpheus8 handpiece to the skin, delivering precise pulses of microneedles and RF energy across the treatment zone. Settings (depth, energy level) are adjusted for different areas.
- Post-Treatment: A soothing serum or balm is applied. Skin will be noticeably red and feel warm, similar to a significant sunburn.
Treatment time varies depending on the area(s), typically 60-90 minutes including numbing.
Expected Results and Timeline
Morpheus8 stimulates deep tissue remodelling, so results appear progressively:
- Initial Effects (Week 1): Some immediate tightening may be perceived due to tissue coagulation and contraction, but swelling and redness are dominant.
- Early Improvements (4-6 Weeks): Texture improvements and early signs of tightening may begin to emerge.
- Significant Results (3 Months): More noticeable skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and scar improvement as significant collagen builds.
- Optimal Results (6 Months): Full results typically manifest around 6 months as collagen continues to mature and remodel.
While improvements can be seen after one session, a course of 1-3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is often recommended for the most dramatic and lasting outcomes.
Morpheus8 Treatment Pricing
Morpheus8 pricing is based on the treatment area and the specialised tips used (standard, eye, resurfacing, body). Please see the pricing table below. Package pricing for courses is often available.
Safety Profile
Morpheus8 is FDA-cleared and safe for most skin types, including darker tones, when performed by a trained professional like Our medical team who understands energy-based device principles. Expected downtime involves 3-7 days of redness, swelling, and potential grid marks or pinpoint crusting. Following post-treatment care, especially sun avoidance, is critical. Risks like burns or pigmentation changes are rare with proper technique and settings.

Myths vs Facts
Morpheus8 is just painful microneedling.
False. It combines microneedling with deep RF heat, providing much more significant tightening and remodelling than microneedling alone. Numbing cream makes it tolerable.
You see the final tightening result immediately.
No. While there's some immediate contraction, the main tightening effect builds over 3-6 months as new collagen forms.
Morpheus8 requires weeks of hiding away.
Social downtime is typically 3-7 days due to redness and swelling, significantly less than surgical procedures.
Morpheus8 melts too much fat, leaving you gaunt.
Our medical team controls the depth and energy precisely. Fat remodelling is targeted only where desired (like the jowls) and is not the primary goal in all areas or patients.
