The older you get, the less your body produces collagen, causing your skin to lose elasticity. This, in turn, results in sagging skin, lines, and wrinkles. Stress, sun damage, and genetic factors also play a role in changing your skin and appearance, which can cause you to feel dissatisfied or depressed when you look in the mirror.
Morpheus8 is a needling device that uses RF, or radiofrequency, to treat skin showing signs of aging. This non-surgical treatment stimulates the production of collagen in your body, which works to tighten skin and smooth wrinkles. Our registered nurses specialize in anti-aging treatments such as Morpheus8 to help you regain a more youthful appearance. Our expert aestheticians understand the issues you’re confronting as your face changes and know how to help you reach your cosmetic goals.
Morpheus8 Prime is gentle enough to be used on the delicate skin around the eyes and lips while being powerful enough to be used as a tool for a non-surgical brow lift!
The classic Morpheus8 handpiece employs three distinct pin sizes. Morpheus8 Prime utilizes a slender and less intrusive 12-pin configuration, making it suitable for challenging and sensitive areas. This technology reaches depths of 4-5mm within the dermis, facilitating treatment for smaller, intricate, or curved regions like the periorbital zone, forehead, nose, chin, upper lip, inner arms, and other delicate body zones.
Skin rejuvenation doesn’t stop at the face. Morpheus8 Body expands the power of radiofrequency microneedling to address larger treatment areas and deeper layers of the skin, helping to tighten, contour, and smooth the body from the inside out.
Using a specially designed handpiece, Morpheus8 Body targets the deeper subdermal tissues to remodel collagen and fat for firmer, more lifted skin. It’s ideal for areas such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and above the knees, the areas where laxity and uneven texture tend to appear first.
At Joseph A. Russo, MD, our medical team uses Morpheus8 Body to refine contours and restore youthful firmness without surgery or significant downtime. Treatments can be customized to address cellulite, stretch marks, and mild skin laxity, giving you smoother, more even-toned results that feel naturally your own.
Aging is a natural process, and it is normal that our faces change. Minor issues such as stretch marks, acne scars, and wrinkles can become more pronounced as your skin loses its elasticity. The texture can coarsen and your contours sag, making you feel uncomfortable and helpless against your changing appearance.
By combining needling techniques with RF energy waves, Morpheus8 treatments penetrate more deeply into your skin, providing a range of positive results. This includes reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lines, sagging, jowls, acne scars, stretch marks, sun damage, and enlarged pores. Even better, Morpheus8 is a short treatment with no downtime needed. It also produces faster results than other methods and is a safe, effective way to reduce signs of aging in your face.
This cutting-edge technology offers superior precision compared to alternative skin resurfacing procedures, allowing our team in Boston to target specific areas in response to your unique aesthetic concerns. Morpheus8 may be used to treat areas of the:
Its versatility means that it’s perfect for any issue, including wrinkles, skin texture, pigmentation, sun damage, stretch marks, scars, or crepey skin, and is why it’s become a top aesthetic treatment. As a noninvasive treatment, it can be utilized on nearly any part of the body, including the forehead for a non-surgical brow lift, making it an optimal and more comfortable choice for both men and women seeking a long-lasting solution to maintain smooth, supple skin.
This treatment is considered an outpatient procedure that can take up to two hours to complete. The laser technician will apply a numbing cream on the targeted area before beginning. If you choose a higher setting on the device, you can request a local anesthetic for a stronger numbing effect.
To begin, the technician will take the Morpheus8 device and stamp it across your skin. As they do this, tiny needles prick your skin and send out the RF energy waves. This heats the tissue below your skin, which then stimulates collagen growth. As the skin heats, our laser technician can mold your fat, recontouring the target area to create natural-looking results as your skin tightens after treatment.
If you would like to undergo treatments with Morpheus8, you will need to come in for a consultation with one of our aesthetic experts so they can review your medical history and conduct an exam to establish your eligibility. Generally speaking, the best candidates for Morpheus8 are in good health and are dissatisfied with changes in their skin, including fine lines, wrinkles, and minor scars.
Morpheus8 treatments are non-surgical and minimally invasive, so you should be able to return to your normal routine within two to three days. Because of the microneedles, there will be some mild redness and swelling in your treated areas. Following Morpheus8 Boston patients may also notice shiny or extra-tight skin for up to five days, which is completely normal. You can treat these areas with moisturizer. You also need to avoid direct sunlight and physical activities such as running or swimming.
Your Morpheus8 results from Morpheus8 treatments will begin to become visible within a few days, including smoother and tighter skin.
Over the next three weeks, your wrinkles, stretch marks, lines, or whatever issue you had treated will disappear even more. Boston Morpheus8 patients will continue to see improvement in their skin for up to 3 months after their last treatment. Collagen production will also increase, which means it might take up to 6 months for you to see the final results from your Morpheus8 treatments.
Morpheus8 costs vary according to which areas you want treated, how many sessions you would like, and whether you’re combining it with Morpheus8 Prime or Morpheus8 Body for full-face and body rejuvenation. Most patients see optimal results after a series of three sessions, spaced several weeks apart. Because this is an elective cosmetic treatment, it’s typically not covered by insurance. However, financing and payment plans are available to make your treatments more accessible.
During your Morpheus8 consultation at Dr. Russo’s Boston office, our team will create a personalized treatment plan and review the total cost before you begin.
With its focus on improving your appearance by reducing signs of aging, Morpheus8 can provide the solutions you're seeking to create a more youthful appearance. If you would like to begin treatments with Morpheus8, call or email to book a consultation.
If you have wrinkles, lines, or sagging skin on your face and would like a non-surgical option to treat these signs of aging, Morpheus8 can help you find the results you’re looking for. In addition, Morpheus8 can reduce the appearance of scars, helping you find happiness with your appearance once more.
When you come in for Morpheus8 Boston, our master aesthetician will apply a numbing analgesic to your targeted areas so there is no discomfort during the procedure. After the analgesic fades, you may notice soreness from swelling and bruising in the treated area. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers as needed to alleviate this mild pain.
Yes. Morpheus8 Body is specifically engineered for larger or thicker skin areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. It delivers controlled heat to remodel collagen and contour fat, tightening skin and improving tone with minimal downtime.
Morpheus8 results develop gradually as new collagen forms, with noticeable improvements appearing after the first few weeks and continuing for up to six months. With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last a year or more before maintenance sessions are needed.
You’ll want to skip heavy workouts, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours. Makeup can usually be applied after one to two days. Gentle cleansing and moisturizing are encouraged to support healing.
Traditional microneedling works on the skin’s surface, while Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy that penetrates deeper layers. This dual approach stimulates collagen and tightens skin more effectively than standard microneedling alone.
Yes. Because it uses fractionated energy and adjustable depth settings, Morpheus8 can be safely performed on all skin tones and types with minimal risk of pigmentation changes or scarring.
