Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge microneedling device that combines traditional microneedling with the delivery of radio frequency (RF) energy. This handheld device is equipped with tiny needles that create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Further enhancing its efficacy, the RF energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, intensifying collagen production and facilitating skin tightening.1 As a versatile tool for skin rejuvenation, Morpheus8 effectively improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and various other skin imperfections.2

Before, during, and after your treatment, our team will ensure you feel relaxed and well-informed. Prior to the procedure, you’ll have an initial consultation that will involve a comprehensive skin analysis. This assessment helps our skin specialists understand your concerns and determine the best treatment settings for your skin type and needs.
Leading up to your Morpheus8 treatment, you might be instructed to temporarily halt the intake of specific medications, such as blood thinners or retinoids. This precautionary measure aims to minimize potential bleeding or bruising during the treatment. To further enhance your treatment’s effectiveness and safety, it’s advised to refrain from direct sun exposure for at least a week leading up to your appointment. This helps in averting any complications from sunburn or tanning. Finally, on your treatment day, ensure the area to be treated is meticulously cleansed. We request that you remove all traces of makeup, oils, or dirt before your session, ensuring a clean and ready surface for the procedure.
As the Morpheus8 microneedling session begins, your provider will administer a topical numbing cream, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the procedure. Following this, a handheld device equipped with minute needles at its tip is employed to create what are termed “micro-injuries” on the skin’s surface. These deliberate, controlled punctures initiate the body’s innate healing mechanism. The treatment typically lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
The recovery period following a Morpheus8 procedure is generally quick and straightforward. It’s not uncommon for patients to notice some redness, swelling, and a bit of discomfort in the days immediately after the treatment. However, these symptoms are temporary and usually subside within a few days. Additionally, shielding the treated skin from direct sun exposure in the days post-procedure is crucial, and sunscreen application is recommended. To ensure the best healing and results, it’s imperative to adhere to the post-treatment guidelines provided by Dr. Rowland. Post-procedure care plays a pivotal role in results longevity and recovery. Dr. Rowland employs products from her esteemed RowlandMD skincare line, designed to accelerate healing post-procedure and sustain the rejuvenating effects of the treatment.
