For smoother, tighter, deeply rejuvenated skin.
Morpheus8 is minimally invasive, radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment. It can improve the appearance of a variety of skin conditions, including fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin (jowls, bags under the eyes, frown lines, knees, and arms), hyperpigmentation from hormone changes or sun damage, rosacea, acne and surgical scarring, stretch marks, and poor skin texture. It can also be used to reduce unwanted fat just below the skin in places such as the tummy, back, arms, and legs with Morpheus8 Body.
How does it work?
Non-invasive & FDA approved.
Morpheus8 is microneedling with super powers and the super power is radiofrequency technology! It works by introducing radiofrequency to gently heat facial skin in combination with microneedling to help with skin remodeling. When heated to a certain temperature, collagen, which is the main structural protein in connective tissues, breaks down. Over the course of six-weeks, collagen that is broken down during a Morpheus8 treatment reforms and connective tissues become much tighter and stronger. The face is lifted, and volume is added to hollow areas. Other results are skin tightening, more even skin tone, fewer fine lines and wrinkles and an overall more vibrant appearance. This treatment can be done on almost any area of the body that exhibits wrinkles, discoloration, or scarring.

The Full Benefits of Morpheus8 Treatment
Compared to other microneedling treatments, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with heat to penetrate the skin. As a result, Morpheus8 in our
Indianapolis, IN office offers many benefits:
- Skin Tightening and Lifting: The RF energy stimulates collagen production to create tighter and firmer skin.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This process helps promote skin regeneration.
- Improved Skin Texture: The microneedling component improves skin texture, reduces scars, and minimizes pores.
- Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive: Morpheus8 is a non-surgical procedure. This means minimal downtime and reduced risk of complications compared to surgical options.
- Custom Treatment: We can adjust the depth of the microneedles and the intensity of the RF energy to your needs and skin type.
- Quick Procedure: Sessions are relatively quick. Depending on the treatment area, Morpheus8 treatment can take 30 to 60 minutes in our Carmel, IN office.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience minimal downtime, with some redness and swelling that typically subside within a few days.
- Long-Lasting Results: The collagen stimulation process can continue for several months. It can lead to long-lasting improvements in skin appearance. Unlike other microneedling options, Morpheus8 targets deep tissue to promote tissue remodeling.
- Safe for All Skin Types: Morpheus8 is safe and effective for all skin types, from lighter to darker tones. Compared to other treatments, it also has a lower risk of hyperpigmentation.
What Happens During Morpheus8 Treatment?
You will consult with our esthetician before Morpheus8 in our Indianapolis, IN office. During your consultation, we will first review your medical history. This history will include medications, allergies, and previous cosmetic treatments.
Then, we will assess your skin type. We will discuss your specific skin concerns, including pigmentation, wrinkles, and scars.
We will create a custom treatment plan based on the skin assessment and your goals. The plan will include the number of sessions and treatment areas.
To begin treatment, our esthetician will cleanse your skin of oils, dirt, and makeup. Then, they will apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort.
They will prepare the Morpheus8 device and adjust the settings to your skin type. Then, they will evenly guide the handheld device over your skin.
Morpheus8 works by making small “micro-injuries” in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen production. The device also uses RF energy, or radiofrequency energy, that heats deeper layers of the skin. This combination helps rejuvenate the skin.
While this may sound painful, you will only feel slight heat or prickling sensation during treatment. If you have low pain tolerance, please discuss your options with us before treatment so we can accomodate you.
After treatment, we will apply a cooling gel or soothing mask to reduce redness and inflammation.
Morpheus8 treatment takes one hour. We recommend 1 to 3 sessions every 18 months or two years.
Morpheus8 Aftercare
Taking care of your skin after Morpheus8 treatment is essential. Following aftercare instructions will keep you comfortable as you heal and ensure quick results:
Avoid Touching the Treated Area: Do not touch or pick at the treated area for the first few hours post-treatment. Touching the area can increase the risk of irritation or infection.
+ Keep the Area Clean: Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water. Pat the skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
+ Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin moist and promote healing. Avoid using products with harsh chemicals or fragrances.
+ Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment to allow the skin to breathe and heal.
+ Use Sun Protection: Protect your skin from sun exposure by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Avoid direct sunlight. When outdoors, wear protective clothing and hats.
+ Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense workouts for the first few days after treatment.
Avoid Alcohol and Smoking: Do not consume alcohol or tobacco products for at least 24 hours after the treatment. These substances can impede the healing process.
+ Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Hydration will help you heal and support your skin health.
+ Use Gentle Skincare Products: Do not use exfoliating products like scrubs, retinol, or acids on the treated area for at least a week. Instead, use gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
Post-treatment pain is minimal. After treatment, you may feel some irritation or notice redness, similar to the sensation of a sunburn. These effects will fade after several days.
Scars from the microneedling process will fade after 72 hours. You can see the full results from Morpheus8 one month after treatment.
We will help you schedule follow-up appointments as recommended. At these visits, we can monitor your progress and discuss any concerns or additional treatments.
