Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy.
What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This process involves making micropunctures in the skin using tiny needles, similar to the SkinPen® procedure, while delivering RF energy for additional tissue remodeling. As both the dermis and epidermis are treated, this signals the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin in these skin layers.

Drs. Hajjar and Lumley and their team at Detroit Plastic Surgery offer the Morpheus8 treatment for those who want to improve their skin tone and texture while achieving a tightening effect for beautiful, youthful skin.
What Are the Benefits of Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an exciting skin care solution as it incorporates the benefits of both microneedling and RF treatments into one procedure. Some of the most notable advantages to choosing Morpheus8 for your skin concerns include:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Considered safe for all skin tones, including those with dark skin
- Can be performed on virtually any body area
- Helps diminish wrinkles, mild sagging, scarring, age spots, and more
Who Is a Candidate for Morpheus8?
Candidates for Morpheus8 often suffer from mildly sagging skin in varying areas of the body, namely the neck and face (though the treatment can be performed on almost any area). Patients deemed eligible for Morpheus8 may also want to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, or wrinkles. Unlike certain laser treatments, candidates for Morpheus8 are not limited to those with light skin.
If you are suffering from more pronounced sagging, wrinkles, or fine lines, this treatment may be ideal for you. BOTOX® Cosmetic can be a wonderful add-on treatment for those with moderate to severe facial wrinkles to keep the lines from reforming. Our team will gladly advise you if you are unsure about which procedure is right for you.
How Painful is Morpheus8?
Some patients experience moderate discomfort when the device is guided across the treatment area, but the numbing agent we apply should help to diminish any significant pain. Our providers can also inject additional lidocaine for those who need it.
What Does the Morpheus8 Treatment Involve?

3 Timing
A treatment with the Morpheus8 device takes about 60 minutes, but varies depending on the size of the area being treated. The whole procedure time, including numbing, takes about two and a half to three hours. You may feel moderate discomfort during the process, but our team will make sure any discomfort is minimized.

After your procedure, you can expect redness, slight swelling, and possibly bruising for the first few days. You will be provided with post-treatment care instructions to help you heal properly and achieve the best possible results.
Morpheus8 Treatment FAQs
How Long Is Recovery After Morpheus8?
Most patients return to their normal routine within a day or two. You can expect redness and a feeling similar to mild sunburn for the first 24 to 72 hours, along with possible slight swelling. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and daily activities quickly, though we recommend avoiding direct sun, strenuous exercise, and heavy makeup for the first few days. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and the best possible result.
What Are the Side Effects of Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is well tolerated, and side effects are typically mild and temporary. The most common are redness, minor swelling, and small grid-like marks from the device that fade within a few days. Some patients notice mild dryness or flaking as the skin renews. Because Morpheus8 is considered safe for all skin tones, the risk of pigmentation changes is lower than with many laser treatments. Serious side effects are rare. We review your full health history during your consultation to make sure Morpheus8 is a safe choice for you.
What Results Can I Expect From Morpheus8?
Many patients see an initial improvement in skin tone and texture within a few weeks, but because Morpheus8 stimulates your body's own collagen production, results continue to develop over the following one to three months. Skin looks firmer, smoother, and more refreshed, with softened wrinkles and tightened mild laxity. For the best outcome, a series of treatments is often recommended, and results can be long-lasting with good skin care and maintenance. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your goals during your consultation.
How Much Does Morpheus8 Cost?
The cost of Morpheus8 varies depending on the size and number of areas treated and whether your plan includes a series of sessions. Because every treatment is customized, the most accurate way to understand pricing is a personal consultation, where we'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and review pricing and any available financing or package options.
