Morpheus8 RF

We apply a high-strength topical numbing cream for 45–60 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and prickly rather than painful. The procedure is well-tolerated and our team checks in with you throughout.

We typically recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Many patients see visible improvement after just one session, with full results developing over 3 months as new collagen forms.

Expect 2–4 days of redness and mild swelling. Most patients return to work and social activities after 3–4 days. We recommend avoiding sun exposure for 2 weeks and applying SPF50 daily.

Morpheus8 is highly effective for skin laxity, jowls, fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. It can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, abdomen, arms, and legs.

Results are long-lasting because Morpheus8 stimulates genuine collagen remodelling. Most patients enjoy the benefits for 1–2 years. A single annual maintenance session is recommended to preserve results.

At INNODERM, a single Morpheus8 full-face session is £450. A course of 3 sessions is £1,200. Face & neck and periorbital packages are also available. See our pricing page for all areas and options.

Yes. Unlike laser treatments, Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency energy delivered via microneedles below the skin surface, making it safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types including darker skin tones (III–VI) with no risk of hyperpigmentation.

Morpheus8 uses radiofrequency heat delivered via microneedles to remodel collagen at depth. Lasers target the skin surface. Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types, has less risk of pigmentation changes, and addresses laxity more effectively than most surface lasers.

Yes. Morpheus8 is FDA 510(k)-cleared under K181109 and CE-marked for use in the European Economic Area. It is manufactured by InMode Aesthetic Solutions. All Morpheus8 treatments at INNODERM are delivered by clinicians who hold the relevant Core of Knowledge (CoK) certification and work under medical oversight.

The face protocol uses shorter needles (up to 4 mm) calibrated for facial skin, jawline definition, and acne scarring. The body protocol uses deeper needles (up to 8 mm) and is designed for the abdomen, thighs and arms — ideal for skin laxity, stretch marks, and crepiness on larger surface areas. We select the right protocol after assessing your skin and goals in consultation.

Morpheus8 needle depth is adjustable from approximately 1 mm to 8 mm. Shallower settings target texture and superficial scarring; medium depths address dermal laxity; deeper settings reach the subdermal fat layer for tightening and contouring. The depth your practitioner selects depends on your anatomy and concern — which is why operator training and clinical judgement matter as much as the device itself.

Yes — combining Morpheus8 with regenerative therapies such as PRP, exosomes (ASCE+) or polynucleotides is a common clinical protocol at INNODERM. The radiofrequency creates micro-channels that allow these treatments to penetrate deeper than they would applied topically. Your practitioner will recommend a combination only if it suits your concern, skin type, and recovery timeline.

Initial skin tightening is visible within the first 1–2 weeks. Substantial collagen remodelling then continues over the following 3–6 months as the skin produces new collagen in response to the controlled RF heat. Peak visible results are typically seen at around 3 months after your final session, with refinement continuing for several more months. Individual response varies.

We apply a topical anaesthetic cream 30–45 minutes before your session. For deeper-depth protocols or larger treatment areas, your practitioner may add cooling airflow or supplemental local anaesthetic during treatment. Most patients describe the experience as manageable. You will have a chance to discuss your comfort preferences during consultation.

Morpheus8 Body is one of the most-studied non-surgical options for stretch marks and post-pregnancy skin laxity on the abdomen. Typical protocols involve a course of three sessions, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Results depend on the age and depth of the stretch marks (newer marks generally respond more readily than older silver-white ones) and on overall skin quality — your practitioner will give you a realistic assessment of likely benefit during consultation.

Standard Morpheus8 delivers one pulse of radiofrequency energy per needle insertion. The Burst mode delivers multiple energy pulses sequentially during a single insertion — which means different energy levels can be applied at different depths in one pass. This is particularly useful when treating layered concerns (for example, laxity at 4 mm combined with scarring at 2 mm in the same area). The Burst protocol is available at INNODERM as a distinct treatment option.
