Morpheus8 is an advanced anti-ageing skin treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This non-surgical procedure tightens loose skin, improves skin texture, and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and scars—delivering long-lasting rejuvenation.
Unlike traditional surgery, Morpheus8 offers minimal downtime with visible skin improvements appearing within weeks and continuing for months.

✅ Smooths acne scars and uneven skin tone
✅ Improves skin texture, pores, and stretch marks
✅ Stimulates collagen for long-term anti-ageing results
✅ Minimal downtime with natural-looking results
✅ Suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones
Morpheus8 is one of the most effective and versatile skin tightening treatments available today. Unlike lasers or other radiofrequency skin treatments, Morpheus8 penetrates deeper into the dermal and subdermal layers, enhancing collagen contraction and remodelling the skin at a cellular level.
This makes it a superior alternative to invasive procedures such as facial liposuction or traditional skin resurfacing treatments.
Morpheus8 works by delivering fractional radiofrequency energy through gold-plated microneedles, creating micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, increasing blood flow and collagen synthesis, leading to:
✔ Tighter, firmer skin
✔ Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Smoother texture and smaller pores
✔ Scar and pigmentation reduction
The treatment can be customised for different depths and intensities, making it suitable for all skin types and concerns.
Morpheus8 is ideal for:
🔹 Skin laxity (loose skin on face, jawline, or neck)
🔹 Wrinkles, fine lines, and crepey skin
🔹 Acne scars and uneven skin tone
🔹 Stretch marks and sun damage
🔹 Non-surgical facial contouring
Our expert practitioners in London will assess your skin during a consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
1. Consultation
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your skin concerns, medical history, and desired results.
2. Preparation
Before undergoing the treatment, patients always consult a skilled practitioner who assesses their medical history, skin condition, and suitability for the procedure. The practitioner then provides the patient with comprehensive information about the treatment, potential complications, aftercare, and numbing cream. Our priority is to ensure that any questions you, the patient, might have are fully answered.
3. Treatment
Using the Morpheus8 handpiece, your practitioner will deliver controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the skin. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the treated area.
4. Recovery
Expect minimal downtime—some redness and swelling for 24-48 hours.
5. The aftercare
Once the treatment is finished, you will receive specific aftercare advice. It is recommended that you do not apply anything to the treated area or even touch the treated area for 72 hours post-procedure. This is to reduce the risk of infection. Please see our Morpheus8 before and after page here for more information.
For best results, a series of 2-3 treatments is recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments can help prolong collagen production and skin tightening effects.
Morpheus 8 has minimal downtime post-treatment. There are a few steps you can take, though, to make sure that your skin recovers as well as possible. Red and possibly shiny skin is normal for a few days following the Morpheus treatment.
Avoid direct sun exposure and moisturise the treatment area as advised by your practitioner. It is also advisable that you use 50+ sunscreen on a daily basis. Sunscreen will help lower your future risk of skin cancer while also slowing down the ageing process and reducing wrinkles.
Morpheus8 results can last up to 12 to 18 months, depending on factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Since the treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, improvements continue for several months after each session. To maintain the best results, an annual maintenance session is often recommended.
Both treatments offer skin rejuvenation, but they work in different ways:
Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to tighten the skin, improve wrinkles, sagging, scars, and overall texture, making it ideal for lifting and firming.
Profhilo is an injectable treatment that deeply hydrates the skin and boosts collagen and elastin production, giving a plumper, dewier appearance but without the tightening effects of Morpheus8.
If you’re looking for skin tightening and contouring, Morpheus8 is the better option. If your main concern is hydration and skin glow, Profhilo may be more suitable. Some people choose to combine both treatments for enhanced results. A consultation with a skin specialist can help determine which is best for your needs.
Morpheus8 treatments are generally well tolerated. A topical anaesthetic is applied for 30-40 minutes to minimise discomfort. Local anaesthetic injections may sometimes be used, but numbing cream is usually sufficient.
Improvements are often noticeable after one treatment. However, 2-3 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are recommended for better results. Visible results typically appear about four weeks after the first treatment as new collagen forms. Annual maintenance treatments are suggested to preserve improvements and slow skin ageing.
Makeup can be applied 1-2 days after each treatment.
Contraindications for Morpheus8 include active acne, skin infections, inflammation, excess sun exposure, and certain medications. Those with doubts should contact the clinic.
Post-treatment care includes protecting the skin from sunlight, avoiding Hydroxy acid-containing products, and refraining from strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
In our London clinic, the Morpheus8 procedure typically takes 20-40 minutes, possibly longer for multiple areas.
