Morpheus8 Face: What to Expect

A softer jawline, lines that have settled in, acne scars that never faded. Skin care and facials only reach the surface. Morpheus8 works deeper, rebuilding skin from within so it looks firmer, smoother and more refreshed.

Morpheus8 by InMode combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) heat. Ultra-fine needles create tiny channels in the skin and deliver heat into the deeper layers. This triggers your body's natural healing response and new collagen and elastin. At deeper settings, the heat can also reduce small pockets of fat, for a more sculpted neck, jawline and cheeks.

Men and women with loose or sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture or enlarged pores. It's often chosen as a non-surgical facelift alternative, or paired with fillers. Pregnancy, active skin infections and some medical conditions may mean waiting, which we'll go over at your consultation.

Consultation: we look at your skin and goals, and map out your plan.

Comfort: we offer several options to keep you comfortable, such as numbing cream, Pronox and prescription medication.

Treatment: the handpiece moves across your skin in passes. Most people feel heat and a prickling sensation. Treatment takes about 1 hour.

First week: mild redness and a refreshed glow as your skin heals.

Weeks 3 to 5: collagen remodeling is in full effect. Fine lines soften, texture refines and tone evens out.

After that: results keep improving for several weeks as your skin gets tighter and smoother.

For the first few days:

• Keep your skin clean, and use gentle products only.
• Skip makeup for about a day, and avoid hot tubs, saunas and hard workouts for a couple of days.
• Wear sunscreen every day.

We usually recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, then a single maintenance treatment every 6 to 12 months.

Does it hurt?

We offer numbing cream, Pronox and other comfort options, so most people feel heat and pressure rather than pain.

Is there downtime?

Usually very little. Expect redness for a day or two, and most people are back to their routine quickly.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes. Morpheus8 pairs well with fillers and Botox.

Is it safe for my skin tone?

Morpheus8 is safe for a wide range of skin tones. We'll talk through your skin at your consultation.
