The Secret to Ageless Skin with Morpheus8

One of the secrets behind Victoria Beckham's timeless beauty is the revolutionary Morpheus8 treatment. It's the treatment that other celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Eva Longoria also swear by. So, whether you aim to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, or look more youthful, Morpheus8 is the game-changer you've been searching for.


This cutting-edge procedure combines microneedling and radio frequency technology to rejuvenate and tighten skin, offering anti-aging effects by restructuring collagen and subdermal adipose tissue with a non-surgical solution that achieves a youthful and radiant complexion.



Morpheus8 is an innovative procedure designed to tackle various skin concerns, from sagging skin and uneven texture to fine lines and wrinkles.


It is called Morpheus8 because it can penetrate the skin up to 8mm. Morpheus8 delivers deep fractional treatments, penetrating subdermal tissue up to 8mm (7mm + 1mm thermal profile).


The Science Behind the Treatment


Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge skin treatment that combines microneedling with radio frequency (RF) energy. This powerful duo allows for deeper penetration into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production—essential proteins responsible for the skin's firmness and elasticity. Our Advanced Dermal Therapists and Registered Nurses use a handheld device with micro-needles to make micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing process, promoting new, healthy skin cells.


Featuring Burst mode RF technology, Morpheus8 Body 3D deploys bipolar RF energy to multiple treatment depths in a single cycle automatically. Targeting tissue sequentially at three levels in milliseconds significantly reduces treatment times, minimises skin injury, enhances treatment uniformity, and allows for customised full-body fractional procedures.


How it Combines Microneedling and Radio frequency


The brilliance of Morpheus8 lies in the merging of microneedling with RF energy! The penetration depth can be adjusted, allowing for a customised treatment that targets specific skin concerns, such as fine lines, acne scars, or skin laxity.


FDA and TGA Approval and Safety


Morpheus8 is not only practical but also safe. It has received FDA and TGA approval, ensuring it meets stringent safety and efficacy standards. This approval means that Morpheus8 has undergone rigorous testing. So, clients can trust that it is a safe procedure with minimal risk of complications.


Process of microneedling and RF Energy Delivery


  1. Microneedling: The treatment begins with a handheld device equipped with ultra-thin needles that creates micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing response.

  2. RF Energy Delivery: As the microneedles penetrate the skin, they simultaneously deliver RF energy deep into the dermal layers. This controlled heat further stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing the skin's firmness and elasticity. The penetration depth can be adjusted, allowing for a customised treatment that targets specific skin concerns, whether fine lines, acne scars, or skin laxity.


Benefits of Collagen and Elastin Stimulation


The stimulation of collagen and elastin production is the key to Morpheus8's transformative results. Here's what you can expect:


  1. Firmer Skin: Increased collagen production reduces the appearance of sagging and wrinkles and leads to firmer, more resilient skin,

  2. Smoother Texture: Generating new skin cells results in a softer, more even skin texture, minimising the appearance of scars and blemishes.

  3. Youthful Radiance: Enhanced elastin production improves skin elasticity, giving your complexion a youthful, radiant glow.
