Morpheus 8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines two powerful technologies: microneedling and radio frequency (RF) energy. This innovative approach effectively tightens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and remodels facial contours with minimal downtime.
How Does Morpheus8 Work?
Microneedling creates tiny controlled injuries reaching down into skin layers prompting the body’s natural healing process, which responds with increased collagen and elastin production; these two vital proteins contribute to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
Radio frequency energy (RF) delivered below the skin surface also initiates an increase of collagen and elastin with the added benefit of tightening and remodeling underlying skin structure. Morpheus8 is a game-changing device that combines techniques of the two for synergistic next-level efficacy, by delivering RF energy through the ultrafine needles reaching deeper skin layers.
Ideal Candidates for Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is suitable for both men and women who have mild to moderate skin laxity and texture concerns and would prefer an alternative solution to a surgical procedure. Morpheus8 is known for its minimal downtime, making it an attractive option for those with busy lifestyles.
Candidates should be in good overall health and while Morpheus8 can offer impressive results, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Some patients, depending on their aesthetic goals, may need more than one treatment.
The Morpheus8 Procedure
Morpheus8 begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure patient comfort. Once the targeted area is adequately numbed, Dr. Frank moves the handpiece with ultrafine microneedles strategically to maximize delivery and symmetrical application. Dr. Frank has over two decades of dedicated focus on the mastery of minimally invasive procedures and how to improve them. On average the treatment lasts two hours or less.
Recovery and Results
After Morpheus8 some swelling and mild bruising or redness may occur, these conditions are resolved in a couple of days to a week depending on the extent of treatment. Patients may resume activities immediately following treatment but should avoid strenuous physical activity in the first week of treatment to help with swelling.
Some patients experience more noticeable improvements than others beginning with the day of the procedure, patience is key. A vital aspect of Morpheus8’s efficacy is the regenerative healing below the skin surface that is just getting started as the procedure concludes. As increased collagen and elastin production continue for up to six months, so do the emerging results.

One of New York City’s top dermatologists, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, delivers head-to-toe results
By Beth Landman
For two decades, discerning New Yorkers have flocked to Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank. His offices in the West Village and on the Upper East Side have a full range of machines and therapies ready to address every beauty concern, including post-summer discoloration caused by UV rays, wrinkling and cellulite.
“Anything that will really improve texture, scars and wrinkles requires a little bit of downtime,” he notes.
A great option to combat wrinkling, according to Dr. Frank, is energy-delivered microneedling, employed by such devices as Vivace and Morpheus. Small microneedles inject heat via radio frequency into the skin at various layers (three sessions are suggested).
For cellulite and dimpling, Dr. Frank believes bio-stimulation treatments work best. “I use very dilute forms of a filler like Radiesse to correct dimples and smooth the skin,” he says. “This is best done when the weather is cooler because It can cause bruising for a week or two, but the results last about a year to a year and a half.”
And, of course, the biggest issue to be dealt with after a summer of fun is sun damage. “There is always a little no-pain, no-gain when it comes to reversing sun damage,” says Dr. Frank. He likes to use the Fraxel Dual, a non-ablative laser that eradicates brown patches, and the VBeam Prima for more vascular issues like red spots and broken capillaries. “They not only make us look better, but have been proven to decrease the risk of skin cancer,” he points out. “And, it’s like using Windex on glass—a great end-of-summer cleanup!”
