Morpheus8 is a skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency technology to trigger collagen and elastin production. The Morpheus8 treatment can be used on many different areas of the face and body to correct sagging skin, stretch marks, crepey skin, and skin discoloration.
As we age, an increase in skin laxity causes our skin to produce less collagen and elastin, which are important building blocks for firm, youthful-looking skin. Morpheus8 is a fractional treatment that combines microneedling treatment with radiofrequency energy that stimulates collagen production and renews deeper layers of skin tissue than any other resurfacing methods. The benefits of this combined approach are seen in skin tightening due to increased collagen production, improved skin tone, and a diminished double chin, helping you to turn back the clock for a more youthful appearance. As an added bonus, clients can enjoy an extremely uniform effect in the treated area with almost no patient downtime or surgical procedures.
The Morpheus8 treatment can be used on many different areas of the face and body to correct:
Sagging or loose skin
Stretch marks
Crepey skin
Skin discolorations
Poor skin texture

All their staff are knowledgeable and make genuine recommendations that best suit your needs. D’Andra recommended for me to try Morpheus 8 first before I tried using under eye fillers. She explained to me that this technology helps with rejuvenating your skin by utilizing micro needling and simultaneously adding heat at the point of each needle that produces new collagen and tightens the skin essentially allowing my skin to repair itself without the use of additives.
I had the Morpheus 8 procedure administered at Elite Aesthetics & Wellness. My reservations about the procedure were allayed by D’Andra who made me feel assured. The results from the Morpheus 8 microneedling technology were amazing. My skin felt tighter, acne scars less visible, pores appeared smaller, the fine lines less distinguishable and overall, my skin felt brighter and healthier. After seeing the results, I became obsessed with the procedure despite the minor discomfort of the needling which was minimal due to their advanced pain management techniques
During your Morpheus8 treatment, topical numbing cream will first be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Then, the special handheld device is placed against the skin, allowing the ultra-thin needles to penetrate the subdermal layers of the skin, creating micro-wounds. By creating extremely small wounds in the skin, the body’s repair process is triggered, which involves elastin and collagen production over the course of the healing process. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is simultaneously emitted into the dermal layer of the skin, tightening the adipose tissue (fat) below and enhancing collagen stimulation. Treatment time may vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the treatment area.
