What Is Morpheus8?
Morpheus8 is an advanced skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to target deeper layers of the skin. It stimulates collagen and elastin, tightens lax skin, and improves tone, texture, and contour. It's commonly used for the lower face and neck but can be applied to other areas showing signs of ageing or laxity.
Common treatment areas:
- Jawline and jowls
- Neck
- Under the chin
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Body areas like arms or abdomen (for skin tightening)
What to Expect
Morpheus8 uses a handheld device with microneedles that deliver radiofrequency heat beneath the surface of the skin. This triggers a deeper collagen remodeling response than standard microneedling. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and some clinics also offer local anaesthetic.

What People Are Saying
My jawline feels more defined and the skin around my neck is tighter. It's not instant, but the results keep getting better.

I've tried a lot for skin texture and jowls — Morpheus8 made a real difference after just two sessions.
