Morpheus8 Contraindications

Morpheus8 is a safe and effective minimally invasive modular RF fractional solution for sub-dermal adipose remodeling. The Morpheus 8 procedure can be especially effective for improving the texture and tone of the skin, reducing skin laxity, and smoothing out creases and lines.

KEY BENEFITS: For facial soft tissue and small hard-to-reach treatment areas. Delivers fractional resurfacing and sub-dermal treatments, penetrating tissue up to 5mm (4mm + 1mm thermal profile) to stimulate collagen production. Clinically proven to remodel sub-dermal and dermal tissue through fractional coagulation of fat and bulk sub-necrotic heating.

Three interchangeable fractional tips with different microneedle configurations: 12 pin Mopheus8 Prime for small narrow areas such as the periorbital zone and upper lip 24 pin Morpheus8 for larger facial areas such as the forehead, nasolabial folds, jawlines, and neck 24 pin Morpheus8 Resurfacing for the treatment of superficial conditions, including scarring Safe on skin types up to and including VI with little risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) which is common with other resurfacing methods.
