If you’ve ever looked at a photo of your favourite celeb and wondered how their skin always looks so flawless, chances are it’s due to a next-gen beauty treatment. The latest celebrity skin care trend on the block? Morpheus8, an innovative skin needling treatment that promises to lift, tighten and plump your complexion.

It’s already proven popular amongst Hollywood’s elite, from Kim Kardashian to Eva Longoria. And now, Australian clinics are beginning to jump on the trend and offer the treatment to local clientele.

So we spoke with Dr David Shokrian from Millennial Plastic Surgey in NYC to find out all about the infamous Morpheus8 treatment.

What is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a non-surgical approach to youth-proofing that combines microneedling and radiofrequency. Think of the treatment as a more advanced form of microneedling. It is used to target wrinkles, discolouration and acne scarring, as well as contour the area.

“Morpheus8 is a clinical treatment that uses microneedles to create micro-injuries on targeted skin areas to stimulate collagen production for wrinkle reduction,” Dr. David says. “Once the microneedles penetrate the skin, they emit radiofrequency waves which penetrate deeper skin layers, resulting in a tightening of the underlying fat and skin.”

Morpheus8 can be used to target multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, stomach and thighs.

What is the Morpheus8 treatment process?

First step: numbing cream. There are tiny needles piercing your skin, after all. After the area is successfully numbed, the treatment process begins and takes around 30 minutes (depending on the area being treated).

What are the benefits of the Morpheus8?

  • Skin tightening
  • Acne scar reduction
  • Collagen and elastin formation
  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Decreased under-eye dark circles
  • Tighter neck and jaw line
  • Improved skin tone, colour and texture

The better question is: what can’t Morpheus8 do?

How many Morpheus8 sessions do I need?

Dr. David recommends patients get three sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart for long-lasting results. After the initial course of treatment, a maintenance session is required once every 6 months for the best outcome.

What is the difference between Morpheus8 and microneedling?

The main difference is that Morpheus8 uses radio frequency energy, whereas microneedling relies on needling alone.

“The radiofrequency energy emits precise, effective high energy stimulus to the underlying dermis and fat to rapidly increase the body’s own ability to rejuvenate and tighten,” says Dr. David. “It’s like microneedling with a nuclear engine behind it.”

Who is Morpheus8 best for?

Well, according to Dr. David, “almost everybody can benefit from this treatment.”

He notes that Morpheus8 has been amazingly effective in people suffering from active acne, as well as those with old acne scars. The treatment is also ideal for patients in their 20s and 30s to help maintain smooth, tighter skin.

It’s also a good option for those with mature skin looking to target sagging, wrinkles and jowling in the mid-face and neck.

Morpheus8 also helps tighten skin on other parts of the body like the arms, stomach, knees, thighs and calves. Long story short: Morpeus8 is probably something we could all benefit from!

Is there any downtime?

Put simply, no. The Morhpeus8 procedure takes less than an hour to complete and any redness should disappear by the next day.

Are there any side-effects of Morpheus8?

“There is mild redness for a day and then the patient can resume all usual skin care and activity: makeup can be worn the next day,” says Dr David. Some patients may also experience mild tingling, but this should subside shortly after the treatment.

What is the Morpheus8 aftercare process?

Dr David recommends using an oil-free moisturiser, along with a high SPF and vitamin C. “We have our own unique post treatment skin care regimen we recommend to all our patients,” he says.

Consult your aesthetician for a tailored post-treatment skin care.
