  • Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive fractional treatment that combines micro-needling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to remodel and contour the face and body.

    The treatment uses a series of gold coated microneedles that stimulate a healing response from the skin, increasing elastin and collagen production. The radiofrequency energy heats the tissue under the skin and simultaneously tightens connective fibres and moulds the fat to lift and firm the contours.
