Morpheus8 vs. Traditional Microneedling: What’s the Difference?

Woman admires her own smooth, radiant skin following her Morpheus8 treatment. Microneedling has long been a popular skincare treatment for those looking to improve skin texture. However, advancements in aesthetic technology have introduced newer, more sophisticated treatments like Morpheus8, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. 

Understanding the differences between traditional microneedling and Morpheus8 will help you make an informed decision.

Traditional Micro Needling: How It Works

Conventional microneedling uses a tool with tiny needles to make microscopic punctures in the skin. By encouraging the skin’s natural healing process, these controlled injuries boost the synthesis of collagen and elastin. 

This treatment is effective for improving skin tone and minimizing scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals looking for a non-surgical skin rejuvenation option.

While microneedling is effective on its own, it may require multiple sessions to achieve desired results, especially for deep-set wrinkles or significant skin concerns. The treatment typically targets the outermost layer of the skin (the epidermis), and results can vary depending on skin type.

Morpheus8: A Step Beyond Traditional Microneedling

Morpheus8 advances microneedling by mixing it with radiofrequency (RF) radiation. This innovative technique uses microneedles to transfer RF radiation into the skin’s deeper layers (the dermis). It can improve collagen remodeling and tighten skin more effectively.

The combination of microneedling and RF energy allows Morpheus8 to target deeper skin layers. It can improve surface-level skin concerns and also tighten the skin from within. 

This makes it an excellent choice for people looking to address more severe issues like deep wrinkles, sagging skin, or acne scars. 

Additionally, the RF energy stimulates fat reduction in certain areas, making Morpheus8 suitable for contouring and tightening certain areas.
