More About Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a revolutionary treatment that combines micro-needling and radiofrequency in a single platform. This innovative approach allows for deeper penetration into the skin layers, stimulating collagen production. As a result, it addresses various skin concerns such as sagging skin, acne scars, and uneven skin texture, making it a versatile solution for achieving skin rejuvenation.
The process of creating controlled micro-injuries stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which is crucial for skin rejuvenation and improved elasticity.
One of the key benefits of Morpheus8 is its ability to target both the face and body, offering a comprehensive treatment option for those looking to enhance their overall appearance. The treatment is customizable, allowing practitioners to adjust the depth and energy based on individual skin types and concerns, ensuring optimal results for each patient.
Morpheus8 is suitable for all skin tones, its minimally invasive nature means that patients can enjoy significant improvements in skin firmness and/or texture with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Questions you may have
Suitable candidates include individuals seeking to improve skin tone, texture, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or skin laxity. Morpheus8 is also effective for reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
Individuals with active infections, inflammatory skin conditions, or open wounds should avoid this procedure. Pregnant women and individuals with a history of skin cancer or photosensitivity disorders may not be suitable candidates.
Proper skincare maintenance and sun protection are essential to optimise and prolong the benefits of Morpheus8 treatments. Your practitioner will provide a full aftercare protocol following your treatments.
Common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort resembling a sunburn. Skin may also peel or flake temporarily. Adhering to post-treatment care guidelines helps minimise these effects and promotes optimal healing.
Morpheus8 treatments offer noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and/or fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. The final results can take months to manifest. With multiple sessions often spaced several weeks apart, patients can achieve long-lasting results and maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
The timeline for visible results from Morpheus8 treatment can vary depending on individual skin conditions and how the skin responds to the procedure. Generally, patients may start to notice improvements in skin texture and/or tone within a few days to a week after their first session.
However, the long term results typically become apparent weeks to months after a series of treatments, usually at least three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. This allows the skin to fully heal and for the body’s natural healing response to stimulate collagen production effectively.
As the skin continues to remodel, patients can expect ongoing improvements in the months following their final session.
Yes, Morpheus8 provides a degree of lifting and contouring effects by targeting the deeper layers of the skin.
This innovative treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, which stimulates collagen production and can contract the connective tissue, resulting in tighter skin and improved facial contours.
The treatment is an effective non-surgical procedure that helps redefine the jawline, reduce sagging skin, and enhance overall facial structure, leading to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
After undergoing Morpheus8 treatment, it’s crucial to follow specific guidelines to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects, including:
- Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least three weeks post-treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher and wear protective clothing or a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and other sun-related damage.
- Refrain from Using Harsh Skincare Products: For the first two weeks, avoid using products with active ingredients such as retinoids, vitamin C, or other exfoliating agents. These can irritate the skin and interfere with the healing process.
- Skip Intense Workouts and Heat Exposure: Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or heat exposure, such as hot yoga, saunas, steam rooms, or hot showers, for at least 48 hours post-treatment. These can increase swelling and discomfort.
- Do Not Pick or Scratch the Skin: It’s normal to experience some redness, swelling, or flaking after the procedure. However, refrain from picking or scratching the treated area to prevent scarring or infection.
- Avoid Applying Makeup: It’s best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 48 hours after the treatment to prevent infection.
- Limit Alcohol and Caffeine Intake: These substances can dehydrate the skin and delay the healing process, so it’s advisable to limit their consumption in the days following your treatment.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can support your skin’s natural healing response, enhance collagen production, and achieve the best possible results from your Morpheus8 treatment.
Morpheus8 is generally well-tolerated due to its minimally invasive nature. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Patients may feel mild tingling or warmth as microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy. Some describe it as a slight prickling or tolerable heat sensation, varying by individual pain thresholds and treatment area.
Post-treatment, common effects like redness and swelling, akin to a mild sunburn, typically subside in a few days. Overall, Morpheus8 offers a comfortable experience compared to more invasive procedures, appealing to those seeking significant skin rejuvenation with minimal pain.
Morpheus8 treatment frequency varies based on individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, three initial sessions are recommended, spaced four to six weeks apart, to allow effective collagen stimulation and healing. For lasting results, annual maintenance sessions are suggested to sustain skin rejuvenation and continue collagen production.
Morpheus8 and traditional microneedling both aim to rejuvenate the skin, but they differ in their approach and results. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, while Morpheus8 combines microneedling with the precise delivery of radiofrequency energy from the tips of the needles to the deeper layers of the skin.
This enhances collagen production more effectively, resulting in skin tightening and therefore an element of lifting. Morpheus8 is ideal for addressing modest sagging skin, deeper wrinkles, and pronounced acne scars, offering a minimally invasive option for these who wish to avoid surgery. Increasingly, patients who re undergoing surgery to remove skin such as facelifts or body contouring procedures are also undertaking Morpheus8 to tighten their residual skin and improve its quality as surgery only removed excess skin and does not deal with the quality of the skin left behind.
While microneedling improves skin texture and minor imperfections, Morpheus8 provides comprehensive skin remodelling and rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 is regarded as an effective treatment for acne scarring due to its innovative combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. This dual approach allows the treatment to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, which are useful for repairing and remodelling scar tissue. By creating controlled micro-injuries, Morpheus8 triggers the body’s natural healing response, resulting in a smoother skin texture and reduced appearance of acne scars over time.
The treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, offering a versatile solution for individuals with varying degrees of acne scarring. Patients typically notice an improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in the depth and visibility of scars after a series of sessions. Additionally, Morpheus8’s ability to tighten loose skin and enhance overall skin rejuvenation makes it a comprehensive option for those seeking to improve both acne scars and general skin tone.
While individual results may vary, many patients experience significant improvements, making Morpheus8 a popular choice for those looking to address acne scarring without resorting to more invasive procedures. It’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your specific skin concerns and desired outcomes.
Morpheus8 can be an excellent option for enhancing your skin’s appearance and in particular to address sagging skin after a Caesarean Section. Whilst it is important for the body to be fully healed before Morpheus8 is undertaken, this is normally the case 6 to 12 weeks post-surgery.
Morpheus8 offers targeted benefits for new mothers looking to address specific post-Caesarean section concerns, such as baggy skin around the abdomen. This advanced treatment is particularly effective in tightening loose skin and improving the texture in the abdominal area, a common issue following childbirth.

Thank you
Overall a disappointing experience, sterile and cold enough environment made bearable only by the maximalist decor. No serenity as portrayed in marketing features ie. Lack of music As a director within a private healthcare setting, very poor customer experience and not one I will be recommending to our own clientele.
I was advised if unhappy with results in 2 weeks to come back for a top up but work restrictions meant I did not attend for 4 weeks but was told that this was chargeable: disappointing again with lack of appreciation or flexibility for working professionals. No follow up provided or courtesy call as is often given at alternative aesthetic clinics.
Dr. Noy has been incredible from start to finish. It is a joy to go to this beautiful clinic, and care is second to none.
