Morpheus 8 is a device used for treating skin sagging, wrinkles, signs of aging and smoking.
As we age, everything in our bodies changes, from texture to the appearance of aging signs and skin sagging. To restore a natural, youthful and smooth appearance without surgical procedures or lasers, we need to stimulate collagen and elastin proteins, which decrease with age, especially after menopause, smoking and prolonged sun exposure.
Here, we introduce a modern treatment and technique approved by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called Morpheus 8 and It has multiple properties and advantages.
How Morpheus-8 Works
It works through fractional microneedling with coated needles and radiofrequency frequencies that penetrate deep into the skin layers reaching a depth of 4-7 mm. This stimulates the natural growth of collagen.
A topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area, and then the handheld device is pressed by the doctor, onto the targeted area, allowing the microneedles to puncture the skin. Once the needles are in place, they emit wireless radiofrequency waves that penetrate the skin, generating heat that stimulates the regeneration of connective tissues and collagen, resulting in skin tightening.
Morpheus treatment provides effective and safe results for all skin types. This technique also reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which is one of the side effects of some other techniques.
Why Morpheus is Effective?
The secret lies in combining radiofrequency waves and microneedles. The microneedles penetrate the skin to an appropriate depth, and then the radiofrequency frequencies reach those layers, reshaping and transforming the skin.
Ideal Areas for Morpheus Treatment
The most targeted areas are the face, neck, jawline and under the chin. It can also be used to tighten sagging skin on the inner and outer thighs, above the knees and the abdomen. It is also used to treat and improve acne scars, surgical scars, skin cracks, enlarged pores and wrinkles.
Uses of the Technique
- Face, jawline, and neck tightening and rejuvenation
- Treatment of wrinkles and fine lines on the face, neck and chest
- Tightening sagging skin and wrinkles around the eyes
- Treatment of acne scars

- Tightening of the arms, knees and abdomen
Pre-Treatment Measures?
Review your medical history with the doctor, ensure your suitability for the treatment, examine the areas to be treated, explain the procedures, post-care and all possible complications and advise on what to avoid before the treatment.
The Treatment
A topical anesthetic cream will be applied which takes about 30 minutes to take effect. This ensures no downtime and patient comfort. Then, the handheld device will be placed on the skin in the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care
Avoid touching or applying anything to the treated area for 12 hours to prevent any infection. Specific post-care instructions will be provided during the visit.
Most Suitable Candidates for Treatment
- Men and women between the ages of thirty and fifty-five who show visible signs of aging and want to improve them.
- individuals with acne scars and other types of scars.
- those seeking skin rejuvenation.
It is an excellent treatment for those looking for a precise anti-aging solution without surgical procedures or laser use.
Results Duration
Results will appear after the first session, but it is recommended to undergo three spaced-out sessions, approximately 3-6 weeks apart to see full results. The results will continue to improve for up to 3-6 months after the treatment.
During the break between sessions, some mild swelling and redness may occur for 3-4 days after the treatment, along with possible peeling due to the healing of the small puncture holes caused by the microneedles.
As mentioned earlier, avoid touching the face and applying any cosmetics. A highly moisturizing cream should be used after 12 hours of treatment, and sun exposure should be avoided. Makeup can be applied after one or two days of treatment.
