Morpheus8 uses tiny needles and radiofrequency to go deep into your skin, boosting collagen and elastin. This helps improve your skin’s texture, tone, and firmness from the inside. It’s not invasive, and you can get back to your routine quickly, making it great for busy people.
The Morpheus8 Carlsbad treatment utilizes a state-of-the-art device with a handheld applicator equipped with tiny needles. These needles create micro-punctures in the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers. The depth and intensity of the treatment are adjustable, allowing for customization based on the specific needs of each patient and the area being treated.
Fine needles create tiny channels and deliver radiofrequency energy to the depth chosen for your skin.
The heat triggers new collagen and elastin, which firm, tighten and smooth the skin over the following months.
